MilesAhead:
Woody Leonhard has been chronicling the development of a tool to stop Windows 10 "upgrades" in his InfoWorld blog.

I haven't tried it -- I don't trust Windows Update, so it has always been turned off on all my systems, but I would trust Woody's recommendation.

I see the potential for a "vending machine makers vs slug minters" viscous circle.  We will have turn off tool/countermeasure cycles.  Every Tueday there will be a new countermeasure.  Every Friday the turn off tool will be, shall we say, Updated?   Heh heh heh

Had similar behavior, but when the original link was pasted in the location area and tried again, it worked here.

Perhaps there's some kind of redirect or cookie check?
