  1. Windows 11 upgrade from 10. I have paused but want to cancel it completely ?


    Help please,I am running Windows 10 and clicked to download upgrade to windows 11 - The upgrade is half way through I have paused it.. but it will only allow it to be paused until April 4.I want to cancel it completely as I now realise that some software I run wont work on windows 11.I don't want to be changing registry etc.. I can see there was away to roll back to windows 10, is that still available and if so do I have to complete the whole install and roll back ? or can I somehow cancel it before its installed?.. Thanks, why do Microsoft make all this so bloody difficult and frightening..

    :)

    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

    Cancel my Windows 10 upgrade!!!

    To cancel reservation follow the below steps:

    •Click/tap on the Get Windows 10 app icon on the taskbar notification area.

    •Click/tap on the "hamburger" style menu button at the top left corner in the Get Windows 10 app.

    •Click/tap on View confirmation under Getting the upgrade.

    •Click/tap on the Cancel reservation link.

    •Click/tap on Cancel reservation to confirm.

    •Click/tap on Close.

    This will cancel the reservation

    Can I uninstall the Reservation completely from my computer?

    Click Start (or press Windows key + S for Windows 8.1 users)

    Type: view installed updates

    Hit Enter on your keyboard

    Look through the list for the KB3035583 and KB2976978 update.

    Right click each update and click Uninstall.
