Correct ! PCWorld compiled a list of "update files" that were delivered to us end users via the Windows Update program. That list included 17 different files at the time I printed out the list.

Whenever I get the windows update message, I check each file to the list and have always had at least one and usually two of the Win 10 upgrade files in the download. I unclick them and select hide. I just had one of these Win 10 files off the list appear in the latest Windows Update two days ago - two weeks after the alleged "free upgrade" offer had expired. So despite another member here telling me to relax, I think I will still check each update for these files.
