  1. How do I force Windows 10 to download “A great app is on it’s way!”


    After installing a fresh copy of Windows 10 1903 and all the drivers necessary to get Wifi to work, these tiles won’t update/download. I tried restarting my PC and checking for updates in the Windows Store. Is there any way to force Windows into updating these tiles?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 forced download

    I've just installed W10Privacy, originally a german tool, now with english and french. The number of tracking services you need to turn off has to be seen to be believed. I didnt know W10 was essentially spyware until I loaded the utility. I just wanted to turn off automatic updating... do MS not understand that people that use their PCs for working DO NOT WANT their computers to automatically download in the background then force reboot WHILE YOU ARE WORKING... and then... the updates work with a blank screen... and you have no idea if the PC has crashed or not. I h8 W10.

    Comparison of Windows 10 Privacy tools - gHacks Tech News is a good link to check your options. However, the list is already out of date... some of the features of each tool listed have already been expanded. But it is a great starting place to find utilities that you can use. I recommend turning everything off, or at least, as much as you feel comfortable turning off. I do hate the "radios" option... so if I turn it off (a global setting) then does my handsfree headset stop working... yes! But then every other app and malware also has access to radios. Grrr. Did I tell you already, I h8 W10?

    Windows 10 forced download

    I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

    Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.
