Windows 10: Stay on Windows 10 forever - permanently disable Windows 11 "upgrade"

I'm tired of being harassed by prompts to upgrade to Windows 11, but the only option seems to be to "snooze" them rather than stop the prompts entirely. I do not want, nor do I consent to the update. I don't care that Windows 10 will cease to be supported eventually.I have separate boot drives for different OS versions currently I have a Windows 7 drive and a Windows 10 drive so I can still access programs relevant to either version if I need. If I want to also run Windows 11, I will add an extra drive or make a partition so that I don't need to worry about some of my niche programs that wor

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

qubit finally upgrades to Windows 10 permanently!

Oh yeah, there's always some odd combination of hardware that won't work with the latest Windows and it's always frustrating when this happens. With any luck these problems will be ironed out in time.

Long shot, but you could try this: use another PCI-E slot for the graphics card. If it works properly there, that might tell you something about the nature of the problem.

Also, if you start a thread on these specific problems, you'll probably find that you get quite a lot of suggestions on how to fix it, some of which might work. Worth a go anyway. *Smile

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
