    Windows10 keeps trying to update - how to avoid


    Hi,

    I had reserved my copy of Win10, but then revoked the reservation as I want to control the download and installation my self.
    But even after I revoked the reservation, well before Win10 was release, my laptop still seems to have downloaded the Win10 install files.

    Now it tries to update every day. Luckely it fails every time, with error code 80240020.

    But how can I get rid of this?

    I already removed the KB which installed the Win10 reservation tool. (KB3035583)
    Also the GWX directory is gone.

    Any ideas???

    :)

    HELP!! - Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I'm now running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 & I have the same continuous problem with the update

    • Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

    Thank you

  3. This Pc can't run Windows 10 ATI mobility Radeon x2300 not Compatible

    Hello and welcome!

    Your problem with the ATI Mobility X2300 is already known in other forums,

    many users failed to update due directly to the incompatibility of this graphics card from Windows 7/8 / 8.1.

    You should try to download the tool from Microsoft,
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10


    select the version that corresponds to "Windows 10" and run the setup.exe from there!

    SOLUTION with generic Windows driver detect screen resolution ATI Mobility X2300

    A number of Web sites that offer a driver for "Windows 10" or such
    http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/index_eng.html
    or

    ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 Drivers Download for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP etc, etc...

    Personally "NOT RECOMMEND" any application or web-based third party that supposedly detect the "hardware" for your "pc"

    take you to another "unknown" server and download the appropriate driver for your computer.

    Personally and as you can see from the Microsoft support page in Spanish that I link you here:

    Pantalla ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 no compatible con Windows 10.

    This driver is compatible with "Windows 10" on all chips that integrate the ATI Mobility X2300

    Fujitsu Technical Support pages from Fujitsu Fujitsu Continental Europe, Middle East, Africa & India

    However, you are free to try and use 3dpchip.com third party websites at
    your own risk !!

    or use the drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if your new Windows 10 is able to detect graphics and work with the optimal resolution !!

    I hope I could help!
    Greetings!

    Not possible. It's not listed among the available updates. Only when I go to "update history" is there a failed entry every day.

    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

    As I mentioned at the start of this thread, KB3035583 is already unistalled and hidden.
    KB2976978 is not installed, as I am on Windows7.
