I am stalling on upgrading until Windows 10 for a couple more months, so how do I get Windows to stop doing this?

It doesn't really affect system performance, so you can just ignore the errors. Definitely the easiest way.

If it really bothers you, you can search installed updates for KB 3035583 and uninstall that (and then remember not to install it again)

I would just go to the microsoft store and download win 10 if you want it. This happened to me and I was able to get win 10 from their site and works, well mostly.

I don't want to uprgrade. I want to stay on 8.1 for a few months.

Then ignore the messages.

Just follow the instructions I gave you in my other post above and you'll be able to get rid of the errors. When you are ready to upgrade, then you can use the media creation tool or reinstall that update.
