New KB3184143 Update to Remove Windows 10 Upgrade Offer

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I doubt it most of that stuff is other related updates = telemetry.
Which is the other 3 I posted earlier.

Change Customer Experience Improvement Program settings
Callenders post on disable CEIP

Does installing this update also STOP/REMOVE the various 'Scheduled Tasks' that were created to phone home?

Some of them yes. The application experience ones are still there but you can disable those.

Thank you. Specifically are the 3 listed as "GWXTriggers" removed or stopped? I have been able to disable the other annoyances.

 

[kado897]

I can't see the GWXTrigger ones anymore so it looks like it.

 

[michael diemer]

So, I have the GWX Control Panel. I'm wondering, should I just keep that, or go ahead and install this update. GWX CP has done a great job of keeping W10 off my computer. Why should I do things differently at this point?

 

[kado897]

That's your choice of course but the update is a permanent fix by the authors of the problem. Why have an extra third party program which doesn't give you anything more and may in the future interfere with the way updates work, It's unlikely to be maintained now that the problem is resolved.

Hi,
I'm sure there will be another win-10 push
Only two things really need to be done
Upgrade to Windows 10 Update - Enable or Disable in Windows 7 or 8.1 - Windows 10 Forums

Review updates before downloading and installing them

Oops three really create and keep system images before downloading and installing updates.

Assuming you trust the author to actually fix the issue.
After all, they created the issue (unnecessarily) in the first place.

Well, look what showed up today in Windows Update: KB2952664. I am certain to have hidden it numerous times. Now the description is new:

This update performs diagnostics on the Windows systems that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. These diagnostics help determine whether compatibility issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed. This update will help Microsoft and its partners ensure compatibility for customers who want to install the latest Windows operating system.

Hi,
As far as I remember it states the same thing it has always said

The description is the same as its always been. And that update has been reissued numerous times now. I think it's on version 25 now, so each time it gets reissued it will show up again, even if you hide it.

This is why I don't bother to hide it anymore. I just leave it in the optional section along with many others.

Hi,
Indeed hiding is futile
I show 2 when it's reissued which is fairly annoying

Yeah, it's a strange one. When it gets reissued there seems to be one classed as recommended and one classed as optional, until the new one changes to recommended and then the old one disappears. Not sure why 2 of the same update keeps getting reissued.

Hi,
lol that I did not notice

I noticed it too. I hid it again.

Hi,

I see everything!



:roflmao:

 

[unifex]

Oh, OK, I thought before it did not mention the Customer Experience Improvement Program. But regardless, I thought that all those "preparing for the future upgrade" updates would be done by now as it should be clear that those who did not "upgrade" did so on purpose and are not intending to "upgrade" in the future.

Yeah, the description is misleading. Even though it states it is for upgrading to the latest OS, it's one of the telemetry updates and I don't think MS has any intention of removing them.

The Windows 8 equivalent KB2976978 has even been integrated into the latest ISO's, so I can't see them going anywhere.
