Minty Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is there software which can stop Windows 10 upgrade popping up from Windows 7 update : KB303558 Is the main source, but I would like to remove all of it. Cheers [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 No point removing the update as it'll simply come back. You have to take ownership of the GWX folder (windows\system32\gwx) and rename it. Edit***here is a tool to do it all for you mate http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/gwx_control_panel.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardanpet Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 just create the following registry key and win10 will stop bitching you. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx] "DisableGwx"=dword:00000001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Im on Win7 and Im also pissed off with the win10 popup all the time. I got home from work the other day and I had left the laptop running. When i looked at the screen it basically said it was about to start installing win10 ffs. I stopped it in time. Im trying out "GWX Control Panel" from boycies link. It says I have over 5 gig of data in my win10 download folder!! Well that seemed to do the trick... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigout Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Fantastic, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdos Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Any reason you don't want to go from 7 to 10? I prefer it and certainly faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigout Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I also hate Windows 10. I think Windows 7 has been the best OS they've ever made. I hate the Windows 8 features of WIndows 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 I thought xp was the best ? Am still on Windows 7 [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Windows 10 all day long, loved 7 and still. have it as dual boot but 10 pisses all over it IMHO, once you've removed all the tracking shite etc its really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigout Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 What else can you do with it? Is it possible to remove all the Windows 8 crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Depends what you mean by windows 8 crap tbh. Biggest gripe i had with win 10 to start was that it wasn't win 7 but since then its the OS of choice for me on my system as my main OS, i have a few virtual machines running with various Windows/linux etc etc but again its Win 10 on this system runnign everything without issues (touch wood). Thing is since 95 when a new OS is released by Microshaft it seems to be a thing that every other OS is shite. 95 shit, 98 great, millenium shite, shite, shite, shite, and more shite, Xp great, Vista shite, 7 great, 8 shite, 10 great IMHO. Like 7 windows 10 has never caused me any bother and just runs and runs, i've done nothing more to Windows 10 software/settings wise than i would with win 7 and tbh other than the "apps" being on the right of the startbar (which i quite like tbh) mine looks and runs just the same as 7 and besides which you can easily make it look exactly like 7.......more importantly i'm using the newest and most upto date OS and i know it inside out. I wont say its all been plain sailing, to start the idea of a settings and a control panel was a WFT moment but again i know win 10 inside out now so as with every other windows before i have no issues getting it how i want it.

Rigout Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I guess that's it, just getting used to it. I know my way all around Windows 7, no one likes change then I guess they get used to it then it become the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdos Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm with Snuffs on this one. Again, not sure what you means by 8 crap, but you can have a normal desktop and start menu. If you don't want all the live tiles on the menu just turn them off after that, you can pretty much operate it just like 7. I have 8 on work computer and hate it, but 10 is miles better. Although I don't like 8, it does seem faster than 7. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
