Win 10 nagging

mgfvvc

I registered our laptops for the win10 upgrade and it all seems to have downloaded successfully. I don't want to take the plunge just yet, but the upgrade behaves like the worst nagware.

Can I stop it incessantly popping up notifications? My Google searches haven't come up with anything useful?

Same thing happening to me. Its relentless, like non-stop box popping up begging me to download Wins 10.:mad:

I have reverted from 10 back to 7 and removed the GetWindows 10 nagware.

You don't say what version(s) of windows you have.
As I have already removed it then this is from memory...

You need to find the Task Scheduler on the Administrative Tools console.

Then go to Microsoft/Windows and click on the GWX folder.
Inside you will see the tasks that produce the icon and the nagware.
Just select them one at a time and click your right mouse button and select Disable.

You can reverse this by selecting enable. Re-boot to take effect.

A more complete method involves uninstalling several updates - which I have also done.
But I can't remember the ID numbers. Try Google.

Providing you have updates set to manual - you will get a nag to re-install them - so you need to hide them to stop them downloading and re-installing.

Otherwise it will just update and you will be back to square one !
