Brian, did you read my post? It is factual, and it has spared me from getting Win10 notifications ever since I removed the file. I think you’re confusing my post with someone else’s. I’ve come across nowhere else these instructions for how to stop the notification from reinstalling. I wouldn’t care, but I believe the instructions I gave would save others on this list a lot of time and annoyance, so for you to characterize the post as “not factual” is less than unhelpful.
For anyone else interested in the method I described, here it is again: I recently uninstalled the Win10 notification and ensured it won't come back. So far, so good. The steps below explain exactly what I did. the uninstall instructions come from the indicated website. The instructions for hiding (which essentially means removing) it from Windows automatic updates follow. A friend and I worked them out together. Two parts. First from http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/get-rid-windows-10-upgrade-notification-windows-7-8/ Uninstalling a Windows Update is surprisingly easy, as long as you know its name. This update is called KB3035583 so we can use the command line to delete it with a single command. Begin by opening the Command Prompt with Administrator privileges (right-click the Command Prompt icon and select Run as administrator). Run the command prompt window with Win key-r. Type or copy: WUSA /UNINSTALL /KB:3035583 Follow the on-screen prompts, and when complete type exit to close Command Prompt. To hide Windows Updates from installing it again: Go to Windows Update via Windows search and press enter. Tab to "Change settings" and press enter. Check the third item down, something to the effect of "Do it myself." Tab to OK. Tab to something like "Critical update available" and press enter. If the file is there, right-click and down arrow to hide. Press enter, then OK. Tab back to "Change settings." Select "Automatic." Tab to OK. Alt-F4 out of the dialog.

It is not factual, and many people have posted on those forums complaining about the re-emergence of GWX after having used the technique you recommend. I suggest GWX Control Panel because, so far, it's been the only thing that has been being adequately updated to keep catching the latest updates that repackage GWX with them. Brian
