Microsoft republishes KB3035583 (Get Win X App)

[groze]

I've said it before, but until Linux, and and its varients, get on board with the gaming sites, then thats when MS will really start losing "customers"..

Or someone develops a Linux program that will do a better job of running Windows or Mac programs than Wine. I would be all over that like stink on skunk.

Wine is good on older 16 bit programs.

Here some interesting info for wine on windows.

Having issues and not having the time to upgrade was not a factor in my decision to go back to 7 , Win 10 worked just fine for me .

What i hated was the entire Win 10 experience , the windows store was one of the things that i disliked most , just way way too much crap integrated into Win 10 that i have zero interest in .

Most of it is a nightmare to try to remove or can't be removed without effecting the whole OS negatively.

Yeah, that 3083710 is not installed so that can't be it . OK , i see it now , it's not installed though.


Here are some of what i have installed.

I guess i just have to hide most of these

Unless you want to upgrade to 10 yes win-10's update need to be on Hide
Obviously you missed some win-10 preparation updates from being installed otherwise the 10 update would not be there.

Use a VM

Or someone develops a Linux program that will do a better job of running Windows or Mac programs than Wine. I would be all over that like stink on skunk.

Just install VMware Player in your chosen Linux Distro.
Once that is done you can run any version of Windows you want, as a VM.

Unless you need to run modern games or you are using a program that has some special needs, you shouldn't have any problems.

I have an XP VM with my old games installed in it.
I can play them when I'm using LM17.2 or W7.

I also have DOSBox installed in the XP VM, so I can play even older games (like Doom II).

You can also install Dosbox in Linux as well. It is little trickier to figure out how to mount it and the cd/dvd as well. The dosbox folder needs read/write access as well-my experience.

MS are going to keep doing this until 2020.

The only thing that will stop them is if this creates a huge backlash against W10 and people stop installing it (like the W8 series).

Oh, I pray they give up on that.

I know....I know....

I didn't know that.
It never even occurred to me to check if it could be installed in Linux.

I first installed DOSBox prior to adding a Linux partition on my PC.

The plan is quite clear now.

Keep releasing these "junk" updates until the user eventually screws up and installs them.
Shortly thereafter your PC will mysteriously upgrade itself to W10.

And IF (a mighty BIG if) that ever happens, I'll just restore to a previous image.

MS sure took the fun out of playing computer, didn't it.

No kidding!

I am furious. I had all this upgrade to Windows 10 crap hidden and now my 4 machines are continuing to try and download and install 10. I am so mad about this I feel like phoning the bar-stewards up and getting them to remove the spam adware virus 10 updates from my machines. That will probably be all 12 of them. **RANT**

 

[jadinolf]

I didn't want to have to do this but i don't see any other option at this point , i officially challenge MS to a brawl to the death using prehistoric weaponry . One of us has to die , i realize that now .

Will wait for response

A wired mouse?

Perish the thought.

Yup.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Hmmm. KB3035583 didn't show up in my updates this morning. I don't know if I should be grateful or feel slighted.

Btw, my idiot upgrade icon is still playing hide and seek with me (mostly hide).

 

[Berkey]

Imagine that 3035583 is there again........ after I've manually hid it and run a pretty thorough bat.file. I'm assuming that MS will eventually re brand this and make it an important security update or simply add it into another update as they seem beyond hell bent to get everyone on 10

I just ran across this app at Majorgeeks:

Download GWX Control Panel - MajorGeeks

"GWX Control Panel will help to rid your system tray of the 'Get Windows 10' notification from continually popping up.
It can also prevent unintentional Windows 10 upgrades from occurring via Windows Update."

Does anyone have any experience with it?

Yes I installed it when it first came out and it works. I did not get any of the W10 crap this Patch Tuesday or last patch Tuesday.
