Microsoft is downloading Windows 10 to your machine 'just in case'

He told us: "The symptoms are repeated failed 'Upgrade
to Windows 10' in the WU update history and a huge 3.5GB to 6GB
hidden folder labelled '$Windows.~BT'. I thought Microsoft
[said] this 'upgrade' was optional. If so, why is it being
pushed out to so many computers where it wasn't reserved, and
why does it try to install over and over again? "I know of two
instances where people on metered connections went over their
data cap for August because of this unwanted download. My own
internet (slow DSL) was crawling for a week or so until I
discovered this problem. In fact, that's what led me to it. Not
only does it download, it tries to install every time the
computer is booted."
