Idiots Guide to Uninstall GWX?

Anybody ever try this? Is it a permanent fix or temporary?

Here's more information on KB2952664, which is the nagware for W7 and KB2976978 which is nagware for W8. I just found KB2952664 on my W7 and uninstalled it as well as KB2976978 that I found on the W8 in my possession that belongs to my son. We just got it back from ASUS. They had to reload the drive, which cost BIG bucks, because my daughter in law allowed the update to install and during configuration it stalled at 82% and ended up in an Automatic Repair reboot loop. I have no idea what she did (totally clueless, she is) but somehow the drive was wiped completely clean. No ability to reset nor refresh. I am so afraid to give this notebook back to them. I did create the recovery USB for them since I know they won't.

sigh.... MS? Why? I thought this was a free Country?

No need it's just a matter of researching the updates before downloading and installing
Pretty easy

U b so funny. Tell that to my daughter in law. I better set up teamviewer before I send it back to her.

Time to teach her how or learn to like win-10

ThrashZone. I love my daughter in law dearly but some people should not be allowed to touch a computer and she is one of them. Not everybody is gifted with the ability to adapt to changes in technology as we are.

Thank you UsernameIssues. Is that the same Disable_Get_Windows_10.reg file as the one under Option Three in Brinks tutorial found here? If so, mission accomplished.

Heck you can set the updating to auto and simply uncheck give me recommended the same way and most of the win-10 updates will be excluded.

But yea I feel ya possibly block Facebook

She would freak! After I refreshed the W8.1 from a CW3 infestation I did set it to download but let me decide. Problem was, my son was deployed when she called him to ask if she should install the update and he knows just as much as she does and was oblivious to the fact that MS was sending out that KB which forced and upgrade.

EDIT:

As far as I know, the reg file offered in that tutorial only turns off the notification in the task bar. The other settings that I suggested claim to tell Windows Update to not allow a W10 upgrqde - even if the user asks for it somehow.

Really? Ok, cool! I'll have a closer look at what you posted then. I just assumed. I'll keep you informed. It might help others.
