So, here’s how to get rid of the damned thing:ġ. Note that they don’t really tell you what you’ll actually be getting, hence my opinion that it’s like a Trojan horse.

#UPGRADING ENROUTE 4 TO 5.1 UPGRADE#
This sticky nature of this upgrade notice is by design, the average user of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 that doesn’t have savvy skills won’t be able to make this go away, so I’m here to help with a simple solution: Since this has done nothing but piss me off, it’s marketing FAIL as far as I’m concerned. Sorry Microsoft, this isn’t cool, and if I don’t want to bastardize my desktop experience with an operating system designed with a tablet/phone user touch interface, I shouldn’t have to put up with continual reminders. It is almost like a Trojan in my opinion. This advertisement was a “stealth” upgrade.It saps CPU and memory resources just so it can keep reminding you about Windows 10 and calling home to find out if Windows 10 is available yet, Average users can’t get rid of the notification process that’s running in the background called “gwx.exe” easily.You can’t make it go away after “reserving” a copy of Windows 10,.You can’t remove the icon from the system tray easily,.
OK, I can forgive them for offering this free upgrade, but what I CAN’T forgive Microsoft for is the inability to ever opt-out of being notified about this. Imagine my surprise after recently doing “Microsoft Update” and I get this icon in my system tray:Ĭlicking it gives you this advertisement: I use Windows 7 because it works, is stable, and defensible from malware. I use a mouse and keyboard, with a 27″ monitor, not a touchscreen. IMHO, it’s mostly useless as a desktop OS and gets in the way of working as I am accustomed to. If you own a Windows based tablet, or a Windows phone, it probably is (I own a Windows 8 based tablet, and I’m able to use it just fine, because Windows 8.1 is a touch based operating system).īut a problem occurs with Windows 8, 8.1, and the upcoming Windows 10 as a desktop operating system. One of the things I hate about Microsoft recently is the idea that Windows 8, 8.1, and the upcoming Windows 10 is the greatest thing since sliced bread. From the don’t force shit on me I don’t want and prevent me from saying NO department.įorgive my off-topic rant, but this will be useful for others having this same problem.
