Aggressive Windows 10 upgrade

It would appear microsoft are getting very aggressive with Windows 10 upgrades.
On boot up this morning a message appeared saying upgrade now or later I pressed later but it still proceeded to download - I then pressed stop download and it still would not stop and even using task manager - then it also said cleaning up files - I then had a accept/decline message - I declined and it finally stopped saying in red failed.
With tactics like this I now may never upgrade.
Are microsoft really that desperate to upgrade everyone?

I have used this tool and it seems to do the job.
It also has the option to reinstate the ability to install windows 10 should you have a change of heart at some point.0
