Method 6: Reset the content of the Catroot2 folder
To do this, follow these steps:
Open an administrative Command Prompt window.
Type the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
net stop cryptsvc
md %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.old
xcopy %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.old /s
Delete all contents of the catroot2 folder, but do not delete the catroot2 folder.
Type the following command, and then press Enter:
net start cryptsvc
Exit the Command Prompt window.

Boggin:
While some may agree with you that the way MS have pushed Win 10 that it is malware, it isn't Ransomware.
Have you previously installed Win 10 and then reverted to your previous OS as since the 29th July, MS are no longer sneaking the Win 10 update into Windows Updates - so can you explain how you've gotten that update this late ?
Julian:
Looks like the update was cached in the software distribution folder and you failed to meet deadline buddy... :sad: Go ahead and run the fix windows update with windows aio and it should delete your folder with that update.
Rick:
Anyway to simply remove it from the registry?
Delete the update folder?
Rick:
so difficult to make a program that will also block the updates?
