Windows 10: Windows 10 icon or Download

How can I delete the icon beside the time in the tool bar? And everytime I start internet it want me to download Windows 10. If I wanted Windows 10 I would have all ready downloaded it but I didn't like 8 and I don't like what I seen in 10 and I know that other that use it and all ready went back to 7 or started using Linux. So how can I fix it?

my app store not showing download icon (or) option

Start by running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot

Scroll down to the bottom

Click Windows Store Apps

Click Run the troubleshooter

When complete try opening the Store again.

Also check if the Store works in another user account.

Press Windows key + R

Type: wsreset.exe

Hit Enter

Do this a couple times then try launching the Store again.

Your Antivirus might be interfering with the Store, try disabling it 'temporarily' to see if it launches.

Check Windows Update and install the latest updates. Sometimes Microsoft releases infrastructure fixes for the Store through Windows Update.

You can also try resetting the store app using the following instructions:

Reinstall the Store:

Press Windows key + X

Click Windows PowerShell (Admin)

At the command prompt, type the following then hit Enter:

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

If that does not work, try resetting the software distribution folder:

Before carrying out this procedure, disconnect from the Internet. That means turning off Wi-Fi and disconnecting from a wired connection. If you don't, Windows 10 will indicate some files are in use and cannot be modified or the command will be non-responsive.
Also, you should restart your computer after disconnecting from the Internet. The easiest way to do it is to enable Airplane mode from the Action Center - Windows key + A.

1. Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

Type each of the following then hit Enter

taskkill /F /FI "SERVICES eq wuauserv" (do this multiple times)

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

rmdir C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore

rmdir C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

If that does not work...

1. Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

Type each of the following then hit Enter

Run these codes:

Net Stop bits

Net Stop wuauserv

Net Stop appidsvc

Net Stop cryptsvc

Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak

Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak

Net Start bits

Net Start wuauserv

Net Start appidsvc

Net Start cryptsvc

After running these commands, check if your issue is fixed.

When complete, hit Enter, then restart, then try updating again.

I did this one "Using GWX Control Panel (formerly GWX Stopper) to Permanently Remove the 'Get Windows 10' Icon" do I need to do the other one?

 

No. Just one will do.
I gave you 2 just so you can choose.

 

davidhk, Thanks for your help and now I am happy. I'm been putting up with this for about 6 months now. I don't know why Microsoft dose that. Again thanks Jack

 

You are welcome.

Please, if you have the time, read over this thread. It's pages long but, something that is related to what you are wanting to do.

Will I just rebooted and started IE and it ask the same question can that be fix or not?

 

Are you sure you have followed the entire tutorial ?

OK. Try the other tutorial I posted.
Use Option One and start with step #3 .

 

My version of the one I ran was not to same as the video they added more info. There was a "yes" in "Are Windows update OS upgrades enabled?" now there is a "no" and now it seem to fix it.

 

Well. You gave me a scare. No one using that tutorial says it does not work until you.

 

Sorry about that but it works. I had to click on 2 options.

I just a complete backup of all my Computer in my home and if Microsoft dose upgrade any of mind I will RESTORE them and do no more updates on them.

All my computer are 2006-07 x86 but I do have a Server 2007 it has 2 cpu Intel 2.67ghz, 32gb of memory, Raid controller and 5 SATA drive's. The OS is Linux all my computer are hookup to it and it is setup to share the internet.

Just to "finalize" this subject matter.
