How to Disable or Remove “Get

Windows 10 Upgrade” App and Icon

from Taskbar?

NOTE: If you are using Windows 7, Windows 8 or

Windows 8.1 and don't want to upgrade to

Windows 10, this tutorial will help you. It'll disableand remove Windows 10 upgrade program and will

also prevent your computer from automatically

upgrading to Windows 10.

In recent topic we told you about the new "Get

Windows 10" app and its White Windows flag icon

present in Taskbar notification area:

[FAQ] Get Windows 10 App and Reserve Your Free

Upgrade Notification Icon

This new app has been released for Windows 7 and

Windows 8.1 users via Windows Updates to help them

in upgrading their computers to Windows 10 for free.

But there is one problem in this app! Even if you reserve

your free Windows 10 upgrade using this app or cancel

your upgrade reservation, the app always keeps

running in background and its White Windows flag icon

is always visible in system tray of Taskbar. You can't

close the app permanently. It just hides the window and

sits in system tray.

http://www.askvg.com/how-to-remove-get-windows-10-app-and-its-icon-from-taskbar/ 2

Although a small icon in Taskbar is not a major problem

but sometimes people find it annoying to have an extra

process running in background and consuming system

resources for no good reason.

Also many people may not want to upgrade their

computers to Windows 10, in that case this app will be

unnecessary for them and removing the app will be the

best option for them as it may download the hugeWindows 10 setup files around 3GB

in future.

So today in this tutorial, we'll tell you different ways to

get rid of this Windows flag from Taskbar as well as

completely remove "Get Windows 10" app from your

system.

So without wasting time lets start the tutorial:

METHOD 1: Hide "Get Windows 10" Icon in

Taskbar

This is the easiest way to get rid of the icon. You can

right‐click on the date/time in Taskbar system tray and

select "Customize notification icons" option. It'll opena new window. Now look for GWX Get Windows 10

entry in the list and change its value to "Hide icon and

notifications" using the drop‐down box.

[Software Update] Opera 37 Now

http://www.askvg.com/download-opera-latest-version/


3/47



Apply the changes and it'll hide the White Windows

flag icon in Taskbar notification area.

PS: If the options drop‐down boxes to change

behaviors are grayed out or disabled, then uncheck

"Always show all icons and notifications on the

taskbar" checkbox and it'll allow you to customize

icons behaviors.

METHOD 2: Kill "Get Windows 10 GWX "

Process Using Task Manager

If you don't want to use the above mentioned method,

you can kill the process related to "Get Windows 10"

app and it'll automatically remove the icon from

Taskbar.

1. Right‐click on Taskbar and select Task Manager

option. It'll open Task Manager. You can also directly

launch Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys

together.

2. Now go to Processes or Details tab and select GWX

process and then click on "End Process" button. You

can also right‐click on GWX process and select "End

Process" or "End Task" option. Or you can simply select

GWX process and press Delete key.


4/47



It'll kill GWX process and will also remove its icon from

Taskbar notification area. If the icon is still visible, just

hover mouse cursor over it and it'll magically disappear.

METHOD 3: Disable "Get Windows 10" Using

Registry Editor

If you follow above mentioned method, it'll remove the

app and its icon temporarily. After some time or next

logon, the app and its icon might come back. Following

Registry tweaks will disable "Get Windows 10" app and

its Taskbar icon permanently:

1. Type regedit in RUN or Start search box and press

Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.

2. Now go to following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Micros

oft\Windows

3. Create a new key under Windows key and set its

name as GWX


5/47



So the final key path would be:


oft\Windows\GWX

4. Now select GWX key and in right‐side pane create a

new DWORD DisableGWX and set its value to 1

5. Now go to following key:


oft\Windows

6. Create a new key under Windows key and set its

name as WindowsUpdate

So the final key path would be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

7. Now select WindowsUpdate key and in right‐side

pane create a new DWORD DisableOSUpgrade and set

its value to 1

8. Again go to following key in Registry Editor:


6/47



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wind

ows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade

9. In right‐side pane, look for two DWORDs

AllowOSUpgrade and ReservationsAllowed and

change their values to 0

After applying all these tweaks, close Registry Editor

and restart your computer to take effect.

It'll permanently disable "Get Windows 10" app and will

also remove its icon from Taskbar.

In future, if you decide to re‐enable the app and its

icon, simply delete the DWORDs created in above steps.

PS: If you are not familiar with registry editing tasks, we

are also providing ready‐made registry script to do the

task automatically for your convenience. Just download

following ZIP file, extract it and then run the given .REG

files to enable/disable GWX app and its icon:

Registry Script to Disable "Get Windows 10" App

and Icon in Windows

METHOD 4: Delete "Get Windows 10" Task from

Task Scheduler

If you don't want to modify Registry, you can delete

"Get Windows 10" app's task from Task Scheduler as

there is a task present in Task Scheduler which

automatically starts the "Get Windows 10" app at

predefined time or events.

So to permanently get rid of the app and icon, you'll

http://media.askvg.com/downloads/2015/06/Disable-GWX-in-Windows.zip


7/47



need to delete its task from Task Scheduler using

following steps:

1. Press Win+R keys together to launch RUN dialog

box, then type taskschd.msc in RUN box and press

Enter.

2. It'll open Task Scheduler program. Now go to:

Task Scheduler Library ‐> Microsoft ‐> Windows ‐>

Setup

3. Under Setup key, you'll see 2 more sub‐keys:

gwx

GWXTriggers

Both these keys contain various tasks related to "Get

Windows 10" app which automatically launch the app

at certain intervals.

4. To permanently remove "Get Windows 10" app,

you'll need to either disable or delete tasks present

under both of the above mentioned keys. To disable

the tasks, you can right‐click on the task and select

Disable option.

You'll be able to disable all tasks present under

"gwx" key but Windows will not allow you to


8/47



disable tasks present under "GWXTriggers" key due

to permissions issue.

Don't worry! You can delete all tasks present under

both gwx and GWXTriggers keys using following steps:

4. a. Type tasks in RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'llshow permissions related message, click on Continue

button. It'll open C:\Windows\System32\Tasks folder

which stores all tasks listed in Task Scheduler program.

4. b. Now go to Microsoft\Windows\Setup folder and

delete both gwx and GWXTriggers folders present

inside it. If you face any permission related issue, take

ownership of the folders first as mentioned in this

guide and then delete them.

Now again open Task Scheduler and you'll see that

"Task Scheduler Library ‐> Microsoft ‐> Windows ‐>

Setup" is now empty. So no more "Get Windows 10"

app and its icon in Taskbar.

METHOD 5: Delete the "Get Windows 10" app

Files and Folder

Although after using the above mentioned method,

you'll no longer see "Get Windows 10" app and its icon

in Windows but if you are still worried about the app,

you can delete its executable file and its folder to

remove it completely from your computer:

http://www.askvg.com/guide-how-to-take-ownership-permission-of-a-file-or-folder-manually-in-windows/


9/47



The "Get Windows 10" app executable file is GWX.exe

which is present in following 2 folders:

C:\Windows\System32\GWX

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\GWX (in 64‐bit systems

only)

So first end task of GWX.exe using Method 2 and then

delete the entire GWX folder in both locations.

If Windows shows any permission related message,

you'll need to take ownership of the folder first with the

help of this guide and then delete the folder.

PS: If you don't want to delete the folders, you can

rename them to a different name. It'll also work.

METHOD 6: Uninstall Windows Update

Responsible for "Get Windows 10" App

There is another alternative method to get rid of "Get

Windows 10" app and its icon. You can uninstall the

update which actually installed this app in your system.

Once you uninstall the update, it'll automatically

remove the "Get Windows 10" app from your computer.

So after completing Method 6 and the linked example

steps to hide the update can I turn "install updates

automatically" back on or do I have to leave it set on

"download updates but let me choose to install" for

good?

Kevin Glenn

I’m the SysAdmin at my office. Does anyone know if this

icon and it’s offer will appear for Domain joined

computers? I can’t have my users accepting an OS

upgrade before we have had the chance to test and

approve it. Can I just deny KB3035583 in WSUS and call

it good or is there another better way to avoid this

catastrophe?

Jon Caum

Kevin, I can confirm on our customers and our internal

PCs that any chain joined computer will not run this

app. The update 3035583 will be installed, but the

treaty icon and updater doesn't run. So I can confirm

that domain joined computers will not upgrade. I'm

upset that Microsoft didn't describe the update more

and alert system administrators not to worry about.

Loren

You're awesome.

Robben Hendrik

Windows 10 wil niet op mijn computer, de pc is alleen

geschikt voor Windows XP Home en Windows 7 .

@Jeet Chowdhury

Only if you want small useless white icon that sit every

time you pc boot and also eating your ram small

amount actually but still wasting .

David XXX

Yeah... all suggestion it's ok but i have windows 7 and i

don't want to disable the upgrade proposal but only

leave this stupid icon from system tray..........

How i can do ?

JeremTheOuf

And if I want this update but I can't see it in Windows

update Windows 8.1 x64 FR

how do I get it ???

Lee

you forgot the biggest one. edit the registry and delete

ALL references to "GWX". the name of that "tune" is

"regedit.exe". uhh... be very careful though when

traversing the registry file & hitting the big DELETE key

you may wanna back it up first .

Dennis Thompson

Method one only works until reboot. Then it comes

back until you do method one again.

Tino

thank you soo muchx u help

JJR2

Can't get Method 1 to work on my Windows 7

computer because all the icon behavior drop‐downs are

greyed out.

Stu

Why do I mind Windows 10 messages spamming my

computer?

I don't want Microsoft being able to have full access to

my computer and they think they can do with it what

they want including installing Windows 10. Their update

program is no different than a hacker taking over my

PC.

Jason

Method would be the ideal choice. You may have to

repeat it on a restart, but that shouldn't be common.

The real benefit is that you can simply run GWX.exe as

July 29th approaches and be ready for updating to

Windows 10.

Jason

Sorry, that should say "Method 2"... and no edits!

bobby

If you register to be notified and then remove the icon,

will you still have the update download automatically

when it is released? I imagine, maybe if you just disable

the reminders it might still download in the

background. But if you remove the app entirely, it

probably won't?


15/47



What about changing the trigger to be one time on July

29th, so that you get the notification when it is actually

being released?

Which triggers should you change, or all of them? It's

very tricky to know since there are so many!

Pink

^_^ Thanks you for this information it help immensely

C:\Windows\System32\Tasks and confirming through

Task Scheduler they were no longer present, I thought

it did the trick, but this morning here it was again. GWX

running and sitting in my tray and the "GWXTriggers"

folder had been restored at

C:\Windows\System32\Tasks. Any idea how to makethis method permanent?

Pete

^^ Also follow method 5 in combination with method

4.

Mike Ungerman

I have Windows 7 and followed the above instructions

successfully. For those even thinking of 'upgrading'

from Windows 7 to Windows 10, DON'T DO IT. Do a

fresh install, preferably on a new hard drive they're

cheap enough these days

and see how it works on

your computer. You can always put your original hard

drive in as a second one for more storage after you've

gotten your data over to the new hard drive. Or even

mount it in a USB case as an external backup drive. As

for me, my main computer will remain on Windows 7

thank you Microsoft!

Chad in VB

I noticed even after deleting the files mention above

there are still 49 files and folders that pertain to this

"update" including:

an event log

12 file folders

3 winsxs\FileMaps

9 manifest files

3 GWX user Interface.dll

15 GWX.exe files

2 Config managers

2 migration setup files .inf

This thing is poised to take over my OS! Help!?

Billie Faulkner

Thanks so much!!! Your instructions were perfect and

allowed me to finally get rid of that process once and

for all. It was massively slowing down my computer.

Mark

Very helpful information. Microsoft has a lot of nerve. If

you disable notifications for the icon, they still come

back after a while. What's up with that?

marinus

Sorry‐ here's the update # i should've included, the one

you have to be careful NOT to install. I don't know how

long you'll have to be on guard against it, but you know

how persistent MS is when they want you to do

something: KB3035583


18/47



marinus

Well fudge, The first part of my message seems to have

gotten lost in the ozone: so here it is again.

I managed to remove the W10 app fine. But the next

day, after d/l'ing some Windows 7 updates, i found tomy horror that this digital t*rd had reinstalled itself [was

one of a dozen non‐malware updates‐ Microsoft is so

sneaky].

Bottom line here: they won't take no for answer, will

continue trying to annoy you into trying it. FIX: set

updates to manual only, NOT "install all recommended

updates automatically". You'll get a red X flag in yourtray [Danger Will Robinson!] but ignore it, if you

remember to install manually you'll be fine. [PS: you'll

probably have go into services.msc >windows update >

right click properties > disable, to stop that blasted

TrustedInstaller from returning.]

And if it gets in despite all that, root it out from Review

Installed Updates list [KB3035583.

It's a little like Van Helsing discussing the best methods

of killing vampires isn't it!?

Steve Taylor

Hi Guys,

I've just right clicked on KB3035583 but it does not give

me the option to remove/delete it. Just view/copy

details. Is there a permissions thing I have to do first to

get the delete option?

Belay the last post. I was looking in the list where I

select updates for installation not in:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and

Features\Installed Updates

Incidentally if you view details it does not mention

Windows 10

Nikra

Go in to windows update: Locate KB3035583 . Right

click and delete.

Oh and after that Microsoft actuall screwed me over by

restore the same thing again as an important update.

but after that it's gone for good

I can confirm that Method 4 will work and you can

disable all tasks in the GWX and GWX Triggers folders

by right clicking Task Scheduler and run as an

administrator.

Also re enabling those tasks puts the Icon back.

It also stops Gwx.exe running saving a small amount of

memory.

By the way I had loads of aggro to get the Get

Windows 10 Icon in the first place.I finally downloaded

dropbox.com/s/0u0au9xgy6ss18p/win10fix_full.zip?

dl=0

Right click and Extracted the win10fix_full.zip file

Right click and run win10fix_full.bat as an administrator

and follow the instructions. In my case namely option 1

and 2.Bingo I have the Icon, My copy of windows 10 is

reserved and I have received confirmation email from

Microsoft.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the instructions that even a "Luddite" could

follow!

I don't even know when the update installed but yes, it

is annoying. It does use resources and how ever little, I

did not ask for it. I didn't realise Microsoft could just

throw any old advertising material in an update? I paid

for the software, not ads! I just uninstalled the update.

Problem solved. It will definitely impact any decision I

make in regards to updates in the future. I almost feel

like my Dell was raped.

The deal breaker for Windows 10 is lack of custom color

options Windows 7 had awesome color schemes with

Windows 10 you can have either a dark or light theme.

People just like Windows 10 cause it's FREE

I have a gaming PC and don't want some flimsy

universal thing

Some of my programs won't work in Win 10 which is

why I'm keeping Windows 8.1 for a good few year until

the Beta test that is Windows 10 is over with.

Basically everyone is Beta tester for this version but

guess what Windows has been around for decades......

only to be downgraded in functionally and ease of use.

Thanks very much for this information, although its not

such a bad thing just having an icon on screen, its like

you said its another task running and using system

resources forced upon us by the high and mightyMicrosoft : annoys me as didn't even ask if I wanted to

be nagged to upgrade from Win 7 and as I'm sure

many will agree when I do want to upgrade my

operating system I will look for it and not have it

rammed down my throat. Once again very helpful

tutorial and using the regedit solution was a breeze as

the instruction provided are easy to follow. :D

David Provan

How can I defend my computer against ever having

Win10 imposed on it? Chances are that MS will sneak it

in as an 'Update' to my Win7 one of these days, as they

have the 'Get Win10' icon.

Wouldn't it be nice if one of the options under thgis

was 'Go away and don't bother me. If I ever want Win10

I'll ask for it.'

David, wistfully

We are using Windows 7, 64‐bit Home Premium.

Method 1 does not work.

The "Get Windows 10" icon reappears on the Taskbar

after rebooting the computer...usually after a cold boot.

Very helpful advice, THANK YOU ! I used your method

one and was able to hide the wretched icon.

This will prevent unwary Volunteers from encouraging

This app running in the background is not a problem. It

uses no resources from your PC when in thebackground. 0 Processing power. 0 RAM. It has no

negative effects. It runs in the background so that it can

notify you when you can install Windows 10. If you end

it's process, you won't be notified.

Thanks a lot Miss Ann N Emous. I'm really grateful for

Outstanding

Kate L

While I am very grateful for this wonderful,

WONDERFUL post explaining how to get rid of the

damn thing, I like a few others noticed a few lurking

files starting with GWX. Is it safe to just delete these to

get rid of them and their potential threat? The thing is

making me paranoid now...

VG

^^ You can safely delete GWX files if you dont wantWindows 10 upgrade. Check Method 5.

Kate L

Thank you, VG. My paranoia got the better of me and I

missed that.

Anyone know how to uninstall Windows 10? Since

upgrading from Windows 8.1 my Start Menu button

doesn't work. When I click it, nothing happens. Also,

when I type in the 'Search the web and Windows',

nothing happens there either. I've seen other articles on

how to uninstall Windows 10 which involves clicking

Start, then Settings, Recovery and then 'Go back to an

earlier build' ‐ but this assumes that your Start Menu

button works! Anyone know the command line for this?

I ill‐advisedly told Windows to send me the update.

After seeing details of how it would look and work, I

decided I didn't want it. I tried to cancel, but Windows

kept starting a download‐and‐ install every time I

turned the computer on we shut down over night and

at seemingly random times during the day when people

were trying to use the computer. It wouldn't accept my

instructions to cancel the download unless I went into

task manager and cancelled it that way *every single

time*! So this "notification" that my Windows 10 is

available for download is really a forced install by

Windows.

I've used every method above to get rid of this monster

and I've got my fingers crossed that it will stay gone

this time.

Thanks for the step‐by‐step instructions as well as some

of the comments above. I couldn't figure out how to

uninstall the update KB3035583 until someone

commented that you need to go in through the 'control

panel‐programs‐view installed updates' to uninstall. If

you just go to 'View windows updates' from the main

menu it doesn't give the option of uninstalling ‐‐ just

'View details' or 'Copy details'. I believe that you can't

kill this beast without uninstalling that particular

update.

Thank you ‐ Thank you ‐ thank you

I've killed GWX and deleted the update KB3035583

quite a few times, and it keeps popping back up. So

annoying.

It's late, and I'll be following your instructions to

permanently sort this tomorrow, when I am fresh.

I really appreciate your clear instructions ‐step by step

and in clear English and that you took all the time and

trouble to make this very sought after solution. Thank

you!

I am book marking this page and your blog front page

Hi guys, i downloaded the registry script to

permanently get rid of the windows icon. I only used

the disable GWX. DO i also need to use the enable

GWX???

Just my 2 cents. I've updated a home 2‐in‐1 from 8 to

10 and so far it's not so bad. However, For the person

who posted that it doesn't prompt on domain joined

computers, I have had it show up on 2 computers.

I used the add/remove to remove the update 3035583,

but you have to make sure that you go back into

Windows Updates after the next reboot, and hide the

update so it doesn't automatically re‐install.

Dan

Method #2 worked just fine for me:

a started Task Bar Manager > Processes tab

b

killed GWX via "kill process tree"

c went to GWX folder location in

C:\Windows\System32\GWXd

deleted C:\Windows\System32\GWX folder using

"Unlocker 1.9.2" freeware, downlodable from

http://www.askvg.com/download‐unlocker‐file‐

Bill W

I performed methods 3,4,5&6 which eliminated all

traces of the Get Win 10 icon, GWX, etc.

BUT when I now run Windows Update to install

ordinary security updates, the program still displays the

big "Downloading Windows 10" banner. Win 10 is not,

in fact, being downloaded, the standard updates are

being downloaded and installed but the incorrectbanner is quite annoying and should be eliminated.

Is there any fix for the remaining problem? This whole

mess imposed on us by MSFT is most annoying.

Connie,

I did uninstall KB3035583 but Windows Update still says

Downloading Win 10 every time I install new ordinary

updates. As I noted above, Win 10 is not actually being

downloaded and the new updates are installed

correctly but it is most annoying that the Downloading

Win 10 banner keeps appearing.

Greg

Is there any way to get rid of this in windows update?

After reading all these entries, it seems to me there

must be a smart lawyer here somewhere who can file a

class action lawsuit against Microsoft and the entire


31/47



Windows programming team for one Billion dollars on

the part of persons who have been deleteriously

affected. I think that might get their attention on the

abomination they have released. Charges are on

usefulness of the upgrade, lost time for users, systems

people and fear generated against the upgrade.Microsoft must be forced to release workable software

and hardware without using customers as a test bed to

discover their failures. I could say more but I think this

blog covers it pretty well. It appears that Microsoft

needs to be restarted, starting with every executive.

bob

Hi, most of your fantastic ideas on how to permanantly

remove the win10 icon from the bottom task bar is

utter useless, surely youve tried them your self?? when

you go through the process yes the icon goes away but

when turning the computer back on it reappears,

maybe check your ideas first?

Ronald

^^ You are a mad person. The instructions are

absolutely fine and helped me too. You need to learn

how to follow instructions and how to thank someone

first.

Wil

This is one of the most enlightening articles into the

internals I have read. There were others helpful as well,

but this one opened up the horizon as to various

aspects of how the update sought to take control away

from the user as does Windows 10 .


32/47



The upgrade will preserve your existing registry, but

may very well make changes that will not be updated in

your old registry by updating drivers and removing files

your old registry copy needs to install, uninstall, and

maintain your old environment.

If you choose to revert, keep that in mind. Oh, and BTW

‐ it will absolutely foul up Task Manager's task list if you

have Media Center well, did it here . Files from Media

Center were lost. To get back to where I had been

minus Media Center , I needed regedit, Task Manager,

Task Scheduler, the usual Windows Explorer stuff, and

Emco's MoveOnBoot. Since I had a DisplayLink display, I

also had to have their cleanup tool and manually

redeploy their drivers because 10 had installed new

ones and zapped the old install folders/files referenced

in the old Win 7 registry. Maybe this is what the somber

warning is about.

System Restore isn't enough. A backup isn't enough

either unless you performed it before GWX and arewilling to eat the loss because that's maybe a month or

more. If you don't really want to sign on to Windows

10, it is more like a virus or malware than an upgrade.

Good luck :

Now can I install some important updates? Whenever I

try it still says install Windows 10? Then I quickly cancel

out of it..

Neal

Thanks! I had made the mistake of trying ten, of course

it does not work work anything that I use, the good

news is, they are having so many complaints that they

now let folks go back to 7, without a question asked

after a 30 minute hold.

Perhaps you folks could look into that process and

publish it here as well, save folks that long hold waiting

for microsoft to answer.

Anyway, thanks.

And, if microsoft is GIVING something away, it is


34/47



definitely gonna be because they cannot sell it, because

it is terrible.

whoever you are, you are a hero.

John

I totally agree with Amy: definitely DO NOT INSTALL

Windows 10 on most laptops.

Luckily, my thermal sensor shut down my laptop when

it started to overheat, before this horrible OS turned my

computer into a brick.

Microsoft and others blame it mostly on a bad

graphics driver duh, I thought proper drivers were

supposedly downloaded from Windows Update during

installation... ; but my system runs just fine with

Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu and their proper drivers. Even

after installing the latest proper Windows 10 drivers

directly from the vendors, my laptop still overheated

and shut down upon the thermal event.

Windows 10 is a terrible OS...

Stelpal

The registry tweak worked fine. I deleted the Folders

containing GWX.

Thank You very much!

just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

ever since this upgrade showed up, my computer has

Thank you for such a magnificently written solution.

Where is the donate to button????

PamD

I followed 3 registry tweaks and the "get windows 10"

icon is still in my taskbar. The only thing that was

different as I followed the directions was that I did not

have "allowOSUpgrade" Under Tweak 3. Instead I had

"Refresh" with a registry value of 1, which I changed to

0. Is there something else I can do to get rid of this

thing. Thank you.

Patrick

Thank you in more than one way. As a disabled vet that

worked as a computer tec I was used to the main userbeing owner of all files and was free to change what I

wanted. You taught me how to get rid of the Microsoft

wanting to own me and get past the lock out, God

loves you. I do enjoy win 10 on one computer,but the

rest had too many conflicts.

How to remove the windows upgrade, reservation

go to windows update via configuration, go to the

optional updates of windows and do not select

windows 10 update and everything is normal.

cancel your reservation at any time prior to installing

Windows 10. Here’s how:

Right click on the Get Windows 10 App or Windows

icon located in right end of the taskbar. Select “Check

your upgrade status” Select “Cancel reservation”

remove update KB3035583 to remove the icon, search

for this update in the configuration

Oh arrogant Microsoft

For years I've been a big Windows fan, prefering it over

Mac OS,

how come no laywers have addressed this issue???

remember the "Ineternet Explorer" lawsuit?

Please use any means possible to stop them!

Thank you very much!

The world will be eternally gratefull!

Great article, removed the tasks, the directories and the

installation. I am quite flabbergasted that a company

like Microsoft is allowed to install malware.

Hello!

We decided against installing Windows 10 on our

laptop, but KB3035583 was already installed last month.

We could no longer get updates for Windows 7, even

after uninstalling KB3035583. However, your Method 3

finally removed the problem. These are excellent

instructions on this website! By the way, I was only able

to do Registry Tweak 1 and 2, because the keys

specified in Tweak 3 were not present on our laptop,

but those other two did the trick. Once 1 and 2 were

done, Windows Update worked just fine.

Thank you!

Jared

Thanks a bunch mate! Excellent guide.

emmcol

Haven't tried the registry stuff, but uninstalling

KB3035583 and KB2952664, which some people also

recommend deinstalling does not remove the icon.

With luck it'll remove the prompts to download

Windows 10, which were becoming seriously annoying.

We'll see.

Franny

I am running 64 bit and I followed all the instructions toa T noted above and it surely disabled windows 10

using DWORD... Thank you soooooo much for showing

me how to disable it. Blowing kisses your way. :

Franny

"FYI" I did NOT stop the GWX ... Stop notifications in

the "Taskbar system tray" and select "Customize

notification icons, as it would have stopped the

windows update. I followed Steps 6 all the way to the

end. Trust me... It WILL work for you.

Garrett

Thank you Thank you Thank you! This is the first post

So I'm reinstalling Windows on a laptop that someone

accidentally ? clicked the flag, in the systray, and

"upgraded" to Windows 10. They lost all data so I

decided to install from scratch. I'm in the process of

running Windows Updates and I noticed that WU is

offering KB3035583 as an important, and currently not‐yet‐installed, update...but...the "Upgrade to Windows 10

NOW!" flag is still showing in the systray. This leads me

to believe...it's NOT KB3035583... Thoughts? I'll be

Googling more now, but wanted to throw this out

there.

Thank you, regedit 1 worked for my Win 7 ‐ 64bit.

Hello ASKVG.com ‐ I'm having quite the problem at

this:

What am I missing? I know that I am being at the rightplace, but unfortunately there always seems to be

issues with Windows, and it will most likely never end.

Anyhow, I'd be very thankfully, if you could guide me to

the right place, so that I finally can get rid of GWX.

Ana lockhart

Please stop sending me this update message. I can't

stop it from coming in and pestering me. I don't want

the update. My computer is incompatible with it.

Can you stop this? I am getting really upset with youguys.

Robert Rentzer

I am in your debt for your valuable and free service!!!

I have had the "pester" icon encouraging me to use the

free upgrade to Windows 10 for many months now. I

finally decided to consider installing the program just to

get rid of the icon and so I took time today to fully

investigate the effects of that installation.

I had read that I could restore my system back to

Windows 7 if I did not like the program providing I did

that within 30 days. Then I read the nightmare story

one unfortunate individual posted which informed

everyone that problems he had after the installation did

not show up until after 30 days, when it was too late to

roll back to his prior version of Windows. At that time

he lost icons, programs and even the use of the

connection to his printer and scanner and could do

nothing about it. After reading that I decided to remove

the Windows 10 Install icon from my tool bar, but

found that I could not. That is when I discovered your

website and article on how to remove the icon which

worked perfectly. But as I read on with what you had

posted, I learned that Windows 10 was sitting silently in

my computer as an "exe" which could install itself at

some future time without my asking it to do so.

Needless to say, I then went further in reading your


43/47



article and was able to totally remove the program so it

could not sneak up on me. But in doing that I also had

to utilize your "How to take ownership Permission of a

file or folder Manually in Windows." For a long time I

suffered along without being able to remove certain

files without administrator permission and your tips onhow to give myself full permission over files I had been

restricted from has now allowed me to feel like I truly

own my computer, no longer being dependent upon

the person who set my computer up for me.

Actually that was my son and, while he is always

physically available to me, his job is maintaining the

computers at a major hospital. So I feel veryuncomfortable imposing on him since he deals with

computers all day long and does not need his father

bothering him when he is hoping to be away from

computers after work.

Bottom line is that your tips, which were clear and VERY

VERY easy to follow, have not only freed my computer

of unwanted "garbage" and have not only freed my sonfrom being pestered by me but have freed me from

roadblocks I sometimes encountered in my computer

concerning "permissions." Now I know how to remedy

that.

With gratitude,

Robert D. Rentzer, Attorney At Law

What I don't understand is why Microsoft keeps

bugging me to try Windows 10, while I have already

done so and upgraded back to Windows 7 after a few

days of horror. Yes, I have already tried, and NO, I do

not want the hideous Win10 interface. It does not


44/47



provide any benefits IMHO. Thanks for the KB number

to uninstall. Hopefully this malware stays away.

Rick Carufel

I shouldn't have to go through all this to get this

unwanted, intrusive c**p off my computer. This is BS.

David

Awesome ‐ thanks! Using the taskbar task manager was

simple and effective.

Myco

my recommendation for those who dont want to be

bothered by the icon or the update constantly popping

up is to leave it installed.

To keep it from loading at windows startup notification

app and loading in memory , after killing GWX from

taskmanager just go to the GWX folder and rename

GWX.exe to something else. It wont come back after

that

Djdat

Setting your PC to manual updates will stop this. I'm on

7 still and haven't even seen this icon or any trace of

GWX.

Kim Cuong

Thank you

vinci

If you choose the last method, it's also worth


45/47



mentioning that you need to uninstall some other

updates, besides 3035583:

Win 7: KB 2952664, KB 3021917, KB 2990214

Win 8: KB 2976978, KB 3044374

These updates are part of the Win 10 upgrade. Hide

them afterwards. You should also make the changes in

regedit. This doesn't rule that method out.

Alejandro P.

Thank you. Used Method 4. :

Keef

I've been having a slow‐down problem in my desktop

computer Dell Hybrid 140G running Win7 Pro since

some time last year. I have tried everything I can think

of, without success. In Task Manager, there are several

processes described as SVCHOST.EXE or sometimes

TASKHOST.EXE which take up most of the CPU's time

about 95% which should normally be occupied by

SYSTEM IDLE PROCESS, but I have no way of identifying

the culprit. When I end the process, the system returns

to normal and SIP takes up the majority of spare time,

which is what I expect, but after a few minutes the

problem recurs until I again end the unwanted process.

I’m not happy doing this, as I can’t be sure if I am

stopping an important process, but I know of no other

way.

I have tried removing GWX using registry modification,

but it makes no difference. I have a laptop running

Win7 Home Premium which doesn't get that problem. I

also have another destop Dell GX620 running Windows


46/47



98 which doesn’t suffer it.

I have tried returning to a version of W7Pro which I

saved at the end of 2014, but the problem still remains.

I'm now thinking that malware has insinuated itself into

the BIOS; if so, how can I remove it?

Please help with this intractable problem if you can.
