reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade" /v ReservationsAllowed  /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

I added

wusa %WUSA_OPTIONS% /uninstall /kb:3080351

and

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade" /v AllowOSUpgrade  /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Now the new (since Patch Tuesday of October) "Upgrade to Win10" screen in Windows Update is gone, but most of the updates I just uninstalled are back to be installed, and marked as important. Don't know how to fix that with a batch file. Hiding them with the UI seems to work so far.

@ffes You can use the following vbscript found in this superuser answer, by adding at the end of the .bat file cscript HideWindowsUpdates.vbs 3080149 3075249 3068708 3035583 3022345 3021917 2952664 2990214
