    Refresh GWX Icon in the taskbar


    Hi All,

    My laptop is running Windows 7 SP1 and I have the windows 10 reserved using GWX icon. However, as shown in the attached screenshot, I had a notification saying I have to uninstall Daemon Tools during the upgrade. I have uninstalled it, but its still showing in the GWX. Then I noticed that the Last run time is stuck at 10/06/2015 for quite a while.

    So my question is how can I refresh this GWX screen to see if the Daemon Tools notification goes away?

    Thanks in advance.

    I cannot test this - locate/run the tasks in this area:
    Task scheduler library > Microsoft > Windows > Setup > GWXTriggers
    Let us know if that refreshes the info.
