Canceling Windows 10 Upgrade

Personally, I would like to wait a little while longer before upgrading to Windows 10. There are still some issues, mostly performance problems, that I would like worked out before I update. Some poking around revealed that the Get Windows 10 program that was installed via Windows Update shortly before Windows 10 was released has an option to cancel the reservation in the "Check your upgrade status" section. Click that button, confirm the decision, and the program reports the reservation as no longer in existence.

There appears to be some strange behavior with Windows Update after canceling a reservation; it still seems to think I want to download/install Windows 10. The Windows 10 preinstall files are still on the disk, in $Windows.~BT and $Windows.~WS in the root of the system drive. Hopefully nothing unexpected will come of that.
