3 Optional Updates published today - 2015-06-02

[DavidE]

I see 3 new Optional Updates published today.
Looks like they are all related to the Win 10 Upgrade.
I wonder if MS is trying to fix the issue where some PC's don't get the Win 10 icon ???

 

[Layback Bear]

I just got the same KB's and hid all 3 of them.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Same here; all are now hidden. I wonder when M$ is going to "get" that some people will not want Win 10 rammed down our throats.

 

[Layback Bear]

I most likely will get Windows 10 at some time. I just don't want it intermingled with my Windows 7 systems.

I have never liked or wanted Upgrades.

 

[DavidE]

I'll probably update 1 or 2 of my systems to the free Win 10 offer.
I never did an OS upgrade, I always did a clean install for a new OS or motherboard.
I might try upgrading a Win 7 to Win 10 just to see how it works.
If things don't work right, do a clean install (assuming that's possible).

 

[Jesse Williams]

The update doesn't work. I still don't have the Windows 10 App icon.

Might be a silly question but have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling KB3035583?

Note: I haphazardly read other thread where you were engaged with another member trying to figure out why you weren't getting the WX icon so I don't remember exactly what you have tried to resolve this minor issue.

Yes, I did that yesterday. Still no icon. Should I do it again? Read the last threads of my post, and my latest post. I ran the Windows Update troubleshooter, and it said I had a corruption with the "Windows Service Registration" and an error with some kind of update.

When you say, "error with some kind of update", can you elaborate on the specific update?

Edit: You can attempt another go at uninstalling and reinstalling of the update in question but I don't think its going to fix the issue.

Anyway, after reading the conversation between you and DavidE, I am as stumped as anyone in regards to this problem. I have 4 laptops and 2 desktops and they all show the GWX icon operating on different Windows versions with only two that have accepted the MS's reservation.

I wouldn't be too concerned at this point as we're still two month away from the release.

One last thing to check...

Open your 'Event Viewer' go to 'Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > GWX-Ins > Operational.

In the each 'Information' event check to see if there's a message - GWX Tray: Icon already added to tray.

See below.

Sorry for the delay. I was out getting pictures and talking to the neighbors. But, I will check this out right now.

HelloItsMeAgain, below is my screenshot.

I see at least three 'error' events. Have you looked at the messages associated with those events?

The errors might have more to do with your system than it is the update itself.

Another member posted this this link in the other thread. Take a look and see if it resolves your particular problem.

Okay. I have to work today, but when I get in, I will be glad to check the errors out and report them back to you.

No problem. Working today as well and will check back when I get home.

Below is the error message. They all say the same thing.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Well, what do you know. The "Get Windows 10" app finally showed up. Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi Jesse, I looked and had an error also. But mine said "Error message: GWX Main: App failed to start hresult: The system cannot find the file specified." Did yours resolve without doing anything between your last two posts? I just completed the optional updates about 30 minutes ago

I don't know what fixed it. Arc told me to disable some apps at Startup through Ccleaner. I also had to delay an app in msconfig. Finally, after I rebooted, it started showing up on my taskbar. I hope this helps. I am going to send you a link to a command in command prompt that I ran last night. That may have been what fixed it also. Its a mystery, if you ask me.

pittpharm, try this link. There are a ton of solutions and fixes that might fix the issue. Below the first post is the Answer, and that's the one that I tried that might work.
