MSRT update does take quite a while, as it apparently also does a scan.  While it scans files, this also triggers Avast to scan them also.  If left alone, it completes without problems.

Yep, you can say that again :) thanks for verifying that all will be fine if left alone

I'd right click and hide them until you're ready for Win10, but I'm not an expert ;)

Installed 12 updates on Windows 7. Everything is fine. No problems with Avast.

You have to go into "VIEW UPDATES" and disable the upgrade to "Windows 10" to see the other updates. If you don't do this Windows 10 will install.

You screenshot shows that the updates have already been installed. Viewing what updates are available needs to be done before
you allow the updates to happen.
Once your system restarts, you will be using Windows 10. At that point you'll see an option in the Windows Update Screen to Roll Back
to your previous version of Windows.
(Good Luck!) :)

I did view each update before this last screenshot and none of them showed anything about windows 10.  I hope you're right about being able to roll back. I guess I'll restart my computer and see what happens.

I'm starting to think there won't be anything that is actually called SR1. It looks like we may be getting these "cumulative" updates on a weekly basis for a while.

 I updated and everything seems the same. I also got updates for Office 2007, 16 updates in all.
