Windows 10: Can I disable or remove Windows Activation Technologies UX?

As of yesterday, Windows Activation Technologies UX watux.exe keeps popping up every couple hours and telling me my system is not running genuine Windows. It's very much genuine and I've been using it for many years. I assume this is Microsoft just trying to get me to move on from Win 7, but unless they're planning to give me money to do so that's not happening right now. So is there a way to stop this from popping up regularly? Because the "Resolve online now" button doesn't do anything to actually fix the problem, it just sends me to this page which doesn't help. Or is this possibly an err

:)

That is not necessary! In PC's bios settings vt-x(virtualization technology) can be disabled, so all of the hyper-v info will not take or use any of computer resources.

here's how to do it:

How to disable Intel VT-x on Windows 10

1. Restart computer
2. As computer is about to reboot, hit F10 and a white box saying BIOS should pop up leading you to the next window.
3. Right arrow key to the Advanced tab on the top
4. Arrow down to device configuration.
5. Hit enter to check the vt-x setting.
6. Save change.

I am happy for helping

 

Microsoft Promises Updated Explorer UX in Windows 10


Perhaps MS will get it right in the next build, but after installing the 9879 ISO from the Insider page (not the tech eval version), I'm disappointed. This was not apparent in my previous 9879 build (ESD + Windows Updates fully updated).

I liked Win10 before installing the ISO - but now ... methinks they are adding unnecessary steps to many processes just for the sake of change (three or more clicks to do what two clicks did before just to get a Modern app to launch with less capability [no right click run as, or status]). In this case, File Explorer, they're adding something that just doesn't make sense.

Some folks complained about the navigation pane being cluttered and not truly user configurable, but this current implementation is an abomination (IMO)





Who needs two listings of the external drives?
You can't right click remove them, you can't organize them - they're there for some unknown reason.

Interestingly though, you can right click This PC and delete it (same with network) ... however this removes the icon from your desktop, not from the navigation pane.

The feedback I gave was "Woe unto you who dare mess with Desktop users - remember Win8?"
I also suggested that if the intent was to differentiate between local and network drives, then perhaps listing network drives under network was a better choice. But... these are USB connected drives - so they missed the mark.

As an aside, I really don't like the folders listed under This PC either. Give me the choice and I'll be happy to create the user experience I prefer.
