Remove Windows 10 Push Icon From Taskbar

Today Microsoft decided to start using an advertising "feature" that they sneaked in with a recent Windows update. You should have noticed a new Windows logo icon in the bottom right hand of the Desktop window. No doubt that you hate it just as much as me, so here are the basic instructions for removal.

Use Windows Update to uninstall KB3035583
Reboot
Wait for Windows Update to offer you the update again
Hide the update so that it is not offered again

Hey presto! The icon has gone.
