Windows 10: KB2952664 is an old acquaintance
For a few days now, the recommended patch KB2952664, which might be known to some PC users, can be found by Windows Update. Already in March 2017 Microsoft released this Windows Update, which at that time should only make an update of the Windows operating system to the current version - as far as the concise description at that time. Windows 10 was not presented at this time, there was only an update to Windows 8.1.
If you did not install this patch KB2952664 at the time, you will now receive it again from Windows Update. Microsoft has updated the description and is now designating the update as "Compatibility Update for Upgrading Windows 7". If you use Windows 8 or 8.1, with KB2976978 receives the corresponding counterpart. These compatibility updates for Windows 7 and 8 and 8.1, respectively, perform Microsoft Performance audits to ensure that the existing system is working with the current Windows operating system - that would be Windows 10.
On the net, users are worried about a comeback of a similarly knitted app like GWX. The "Get Windows X" tool moved from the beginning of 2017 the advertising drum for Windows 10, made a reservation and started the download of the operating system - also unasked.
Lesetipp: Windows Update KB2952664 - an old acquaintance
It is understandable that users who have deliberately stayed with Windows 7 and 8 or 8.1 are not exactly delighted. A Microsoft spokesman has fortunately confirmed for those users that the program GWX itself will not come back. This Microsoft removed only a few weeks ago. It remains to be seen whether Microsoft can still think of something else to persuade users to switch to Windows 10. It remains to be noted that you do not have to install the current, recommended update, but can deliberately choose a download.
