I'm sure the original poster on another list won't mind me passing it on. Hello Everyone. Recently, people have been asking me how they can disable windows 10 icons and upgrade files from being downloaded to their systems and Microsoft nagging them to upgrade. it should be an option, not under handed tactics by microsoft to download files to your system. certain users have also reported that the get windows10 icon has been affecting productivity with certain apps. here's a quick way to permanently disable the upgrade until you wish to reenable it and take advantage of microsoft's offer. first, download the following program and click save, do not click run. you will need to save the file in case you need to upgrade at a later stage. http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/GWX_control_panel.exe After you've saved the file, click on it to launch it. the license agreement will be displayed. click on i accept and continue. You will see various buttons on the interface. If you see a disable windows10 upgrade option, click on it to disable the various programs and icons that are running as part of the windows10 upgrade. when you run the tool in future, it will give you the option to enable the upgrade as opposed to disabling it. the program does offer other options to clear the windows update cache, but you may not need them and they should only be used as a last resort to remove windows files. If you do decide to clear the windows update cache and downloaded windows10 files, your update history will be reset and the windows update screen will show that you have never previously installed any updates. updates you have hidden will also have to be rehidden. for more information and a full description of what the program does and how it works, visit the author's page at: http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2015/08/using-gwx-stopper-to-permanently-remove.html all the best, Mo. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill White To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2016 2:57 PM Subject: Re: How To Get Rid Of Get Windows 10 Message Hello, Tom and all.

Yesterday, I ran malware bytes on my home Windows 7 PC, and ever since, I receive the "get windows 10" message every few minutes or so. I can exit out of the message using alt F4, but the message re-appears again soon thereafter. How can I get rid of this message? Personally, I find it not only annoying, but intrusive! I do plan to upgrade to Windows 10 at some point, and don't need to be constantly reminded of its availability! Sorry for the little rant there, but this is really aggravating!
