Windows 10: Disable Upgrade to Windows 10 Update in Windows 7 or 8.1

Thank you Shawn, really appreciate all the good work you do here. Just wanted to confirm this. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box and sometimes easlily confused... "oh look! there's a squirrel!" *Smile

 

Hi Night Hawk, thanks for looking in and your suggestions. I haven't had any issues yet with the GWX on my 7 machines. Just getting tired of monitoring WUs like a hawk to avoid them. I do plan on getting 10 sometime in the future for testing, maybe in a dual boot like yours or maybe VM.

Cheers!*Biggrin

 

The "Notorious" GWX or KB303583 update should no longer be any concern anyways since the MS promotional period for the new version ended on the 1st anniversary date for the 2015 launch a year ago. At first the early WU update coming in would be problematic and was later updated with another only lacking the deny option which became a big concern. Fortunately for the work of a certain guide writer however many avoided dispair! *Thumbs I think you know who that is! *Biggrin

(of course i also like the part there of "being like a hawk" but ... *Nerd )

 

yup Hawkman, it's been a interesting year for sure. Just glad I found these forums for help and knowledge. Wish I'd found this thread sooner! *Huh
Looks like I'm closing the barn door after the horses got out! *Roflmao2

 

Well you know what they say about if the shoe fits wear it!*Roflmao2

All I can say is that 10 this time is more then just a new adventure as seen previously for each newer version to come along. MS has been changing the rule book a bit for 10! These forums have been seeing a huge number of very useful guides over the years as well such as this one here which has been invaluable in seeing people get things working.

So far up until this point 10 has been proving itself to be a rather stable element in contrast to the Big and Floppy MS goof initially seen with 8 when trying to splash us with a dual platform OS. I knew back then it would take a few more versions in order for MS to start seeing thing shape up into something worth looking at while still wanting to keep the 7 side going as long as possible if not all the way to 2020. I paid full price for the Ultimate edition back in '09 and wanted to get my money's worth at the same time having found that to be a champ at the time. We still have to move forward however.
