I read about that method too, but unfortunately doesn't work if you're connected via ethernet.

Take heart! It doesn't help for these forced updates, either. Mine has "partially downloaded" as of this week, and now keeps forgetting that I have a valid copy of Windows at all - it floats an "Activate Windows now!" watermark in the corner of my screen until I try to manually download the rest of the update. :/
