Moreover, the app makes you the owner of the GWX folder in System32, where all the files are stored in order to display the notification, and after that, it removes absolutely all items stored in this location. Afterward, it sets the GWX folder to read-only to make sure that no other changes are being made. Keep in mind, however, that once Microsoft reoffers the same KB3035583 update, you have to launch the app once again because all the changes that you make are automatically reset. Obviously, this app can really come in handy to many users who simply don't want to upgrade, and it's hard to understand why Microsoft isn't offering options to stop the notification from showing up once again in the first place.
