Re: Windows 10 is creeping into your system, it is time to make a decision!




Let me second Carl: many thanks for the link, Kari. I have been
wondering what to do. (I have been getting nagged constantly.) GWX has
solved all my problems. Well, all the ones related to Windows 10, at least!

I discovered that there is a simple program that gets rid of this forced install, namely GWX Control Panel, download from: http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/
The Get Windows 10 icon has just been sitting unobtrusively in my system tray, no nags. Nevertheless, since I have no present intention of upgrading, I ran GWX Control Panel (portable version) to disable GWX across reboots and delete the setup files from my drive, and I enabled monitoring to check for X-related changes to my system. I do like the fact that all of these steps are reversible in case I later change my mind. Many thanks, Kari, for the download link -- and the reviews.
