Win 10 nag screen

But I don't believe they think we all want Windows 10. By now comments in the press and in a zillion online forums have disabused them of that notion, if ever they held it. The truth is that they don't care what we want, because we are not their customers. Their customers are, first, PC makers and second, the companies to which they intend selling all our data they gather with Windows 10 and with the so-called "telemetry" updates to Windows 7 and 8. Here goes a person with limited intelligence telling us what exactly he really thinks about Microsoft. He forgot to put the usual caveat that he should disclose that he is a man with limited intelligence and Microsoft knows that he is plain stupid. No wonder he doesn't like anything Microsoft does yet he continues to use Microsoft products. |

Are you so desperate for attention that you are willing to make a complete ass of yourself just to get anyone to reply? Go take your meds, chime back in once they have mitigated your demons. |

Out of nowhere, you just got up and decided to poke your smelly nose into something you haven't clue at all. Are you so desperate for attention that you are willing to make a complete ass of yourself just to get anyone to reply? I thought your post is quite clear that you appear to be seeking attention; Go take your meds, chime back in once they have mitigated your demons. You have taken yours right? it ddoesn't appear to have mitigated any of your demons yet so why not double the dossage to see if it makes any difference. |

Win10 is definitely better than Win8.1. Indeed it is -- if you like having Microsoft know everything you type, including all your bank account numbers and passwords. Although Microsoft is pushing updates to add that "telemetry" to Windows 7 and 8, so far it's been possible to prevent them if you are careful. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |

I haven't done that yet, mainly because I suspect that some other KB will reinstate the nagging at some point in the future. I've been keeping my eye on the issues associated with the "upgrade" and feel that Win10 is not ready for prime time. Now that the pop-up is taking about half the screen and interfering with my work by disrupting uploads/downloads, etc., I'm ready to move. The question that I have is, has disabling KB3035583 been effective at killing this absurd advertisement? I have had good luck with the GWX Control Panel found at; http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/201...ly-remove.html It lets you pick what it does from the menu, or nothing if you choose to exit out of it. Much better than those point and shoot programs that don't let you see what it will affect before it actually gets destructive. I have used it on W7 and W8 machines and it seems to do what it says. Should you later want to actually install W10 you can run it again and undue what you have blocked. If you actually deleted the download folders mentioned, if they even exist on your machine, you can use the Media Creation tool to install from. Thanks for the pointers. I'm sure that many would find this approach helpful, but I don't want another layer of programs running in the background. I don't know when or if I'll update to Windows 10, since all I've seen so far presents additional management burdens with no real improvements in functionality. It's not really another layer of programs. You run it once, it makes changes, then it exits and you're done. If/when you change your mind, you run it again, it makes changes, and then it exits and you're done. Thanks. I must have gotten the wrong impression when I read the page. So, it's a program to automate the process that MS recommends to disable and hide their KB (per the link I first posted)? If so, that doesn't sound permanent, either. OK... after trying to do it "the MS way", only to find that the icon *reappeared* after restarting (yes, I did the "hide" thing and so forth), I did download and run gwx-stopper. We'll see, but so far, so good. Thanks for the pointers to this app. If it holds, I'll even gladly donate to the cause. -- Best regards, Neil |
