    Please be of assistance


    I run Windows 10 on my laptop. For some weeks now a shortcut appears on my desktop named "Windows 10 Update Assistant" and even when uninstalling this it just simply reappear every time over and over again and this is not a Microsoft linked product. Please help?

    :)

    Still possible to upgrade to Windows 10

    Yea, joke, sort of... referring to the dialogs that popped up in the middle of using Windows 7 to upgrade to Windows 10, with no apparent option to say f*ck off and leave me alone. I know two people who had their system update to Windows 10, and they never agreed to it.

    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.

    Still possible to upgrade to Windows 10

    I confirm.
    Did several clean installs on laptops at work not too long ago. All had a regular consumer win7 Pro key (non-CSM). Never-ever used for upgrading or previous clean installations of Windows 10.
    Installed W10 Pro 1709. Every single key was accepted activated right away.

    I think the only thing that's not available now is a Windows 10 Upgrade assistant (or whatever it's called).
