Stop auto download of Windows 10 into $Windows.~BT
I don't want Windows 10, and have tried to disable/hide all updates that would install it to my computer. I have been at least partially successful; I no longer see the blue rectangular nag screen promoting Win 10.
Today, I was horrified to discover a hidden, 6 gig $Windows.~BT file folder on my C:\ drive, last modified today. I assume that this is for Win 10, and that Microsoft is using my bandwidth to railroad this OS into my computer despite my best efforts to say no.
I found a SuperUser thread indicating that I can delete this directory by:
a) Press Windows key + RI haven't tried this, don't know if it works, and am afraid that I'll make the 6 gig download start all over again.
b) Type: %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe
c) Hit Enter on your keyboard
Is there a way to get rid of these files once and for all, and insure that they never come back again?
Thank you in advance for your feedback!
