Windows Update always start to download Windows 10 Upgrade under Windows 8.1 OS

I have over 171 updates to do (under Windows 8.1) but I can't launch them because every time I click on the Install Updates button, Windows 10 Download is starting, and I don't want it.


I took care to remove all GWX stuff, following some procedures found on the internet and here in this site. Now, I don't have any GWX entry in the registry and the GWX process is not in the Task Manager. I also checked into the Task Scheduler and nothing is there in regard to GWX.


Every single KBxxxxxxx that should be hidden in Windows Updates have been hidden successfully.


KB3035583, KB3022345, KB3068708, KB3075249, KB3080149, KB2990214, KB3012973, KB2952664, KB2976978.


In addition, I have successfully removed the GWX icon (and process) in the notification area using another procedure.


So I'm pretty sure that the problem is under Windows Update itself which is launching the Windows 10 Upgrade by itself when I click the Install Updates button. I was not able to fix this problem yet, tying many things but unfortunately without success.


Keys inside the registry have been also adjusted to not allow OS upgrade.


I'm still looking to find a solution on this, many hours have been spent so far.....
