I am asked by windows 8.1 to upgrade to windows 10.

Subkey: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate DWORD value: DisableOSUpgrade = 1 Subkey: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx DWORD value: DisableGwx = 1There is also a third-party tool Never10 which automates the process described in the above KB article. answered Apr 3, 2016 at 0:39 You can use GWX control panel to disable the nagsFrom the linked site "GWX Control Panel is the easiest way for users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to protect their computers from Windows 10. With GWX Control Panel you can: Remove the "Get Windows 10" icon that appears in your notification area, prevent your Windows Update control panel from upgrading your computer to Windows 10, prevent your computer from secretly downloading Windows 10 installation files, detect and remove the hidden Windows 10 installation files if they're already on your PC, optionally monitor your computer for unwanted Windows 10-related settings and files- and beginning with version 1.7 you can now easily delete some hard-to-remove program files that are known to cause Windows 10 upgrades and annoyances."

AccueilUtilitairesGWX Control Panel : un outil pratique pour supprimer l'icône Obtenir Windows 10Depuis plusieurs jours, j'avais des notifications de Windows (dans la zone denotification) qui m'encourageait à passer à Windows 10 alors que je préfèrerester sur Windows 8.1 qui me convient bien.Je n'ai pas du tout apprécié le forcing de Microsoft pour que j'installe Windows10 sur ma machine, comme le montre cette capture :Aussi, j'ai été bien content de trouver le petit utilitaire GWX Control Panelchez mon partenaireColok Traductions. NB : J'ai complété le nettoyage en utilisant les instructions deKorben pour désactiver les MAJ de Windows 10GWX Control Panel est un petit outil gratuit (en anglais) qui peut supprimer etdésactiver l'icône de zone de notification « Obtenir Windows 10 » sur Windows 7et Windows 8. Il peut également désactiver le comportement « Mise à niveau versWindows 10 » dans le panneau de configuration Windows Update.Pour l'utiliser, suivez le guide de Lustucru80 (de Colok Traductions) :1/ Télécharger la dernière version de GWX depuis la page des téléchargementsd'Outsider Ultime (voir plus bas) et lancez-le. Il n'y a pas d'installeur.2 /Si vous voyez une boîte de dialogue qui dit "Want to allow you the followingprogram to make changes to this computer?" (Voulez vous autoriser le programmesuivant à apporter des modifications à cet ordinateur ?) Cliquez sur Oui. (Sinonle programme ne peut pas continuer.)3/ La première fois que vous exécutez GWX, il vous présente l'écran de contratde licence utilisateur final. Pour poursuivre le programme, reconnaissez lalicence en sélectionnant j'accepte les termes du présent accord, puis encliquant sur continuer. Vous ne verrez plus cet écran à nouveau à moins que vousrefuser le contrat de licence et que vous exécutiez le programme plus tard.Les 4 premières ligne en haut vous donnent l'état de GWX sur votre machine :est-elle lancée, est-elle active, est ce que Windows Update

The "Get Windows 10" system updates and its helpers, the GWX popup will persist. These are:KB2952664KB3035583C:\Windows\System32\GWXC:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\*KB2952664*C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\*KB3035583*ALL registry entries for KB2952664 and(optionally) KB3035583The GWX "patch" only hides the "Get Windows 10" reminder from the System Tray; it does not eliminate the actual installation of the assigned Windows 10 updates.Microsoft has made it exceptionally difficult to remove the reminders in a coherent way. Removal cannot be automated – and if you miss one of the 80 registry entries, the process restarts.The number of registry entries differs according to which, and how many, previous versions of KB2952664 have been installed. Owner permissions need to be reset to change some of the entries, making it more difficult.Our resident sysadmin blogger Trevor Pott advises network administrators to take three steps. Firstly, push the registry change via a Group Policy Object (GPO). Secondly, make sure that the GWX patches are not installed. Thirdly, block them in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).“The lack of transparency, specifically regarding documetation, creates huge problems for business users. The biggest beef I might have with that s that it’s a 'lie of omission'” says Pott, because for many patches, the documentation doesn't disclose the full extent of their behaviour.“Microsoft is decreasing the number of versions of windows and removing user options for how they control, delay, prune, filter or throttle patches,” says Pott. "Sysadmins want clarity on what's in patches and control over all aspects of their systems – it's a pack of vague lies, outright lies and misinformation.”Microsoft’s official position is this. The company told us:Customers can choose to not install the Windows 10 upgrade or remove the upgrade from Windows Update (WU) by altering the WU settings. The Get Windows 10 app functions within the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 notification manager control panel and customers can turn off upgrade notifications in the system tray. The Get Windows 10 app icon can also be removed in the system tray.For IT administrators, it is possible to disable the upgrade using Group Policy settings or by using the DisableUpgrade registry key. All other registry keys are not supported mechanisms for controlling notifications or controlling the upgrade process and are not recommended by Microsoft. Please see KB 3080351 for more information.But that is far from the full picture. The advice doesn’t address the fact that GWX mutates and removing those updates ultimately fails to prevent GWX reappearing.Last week corporate IT admins had to pull an IE security patch as it had created a new attack vector for GWX. This forced the Get Windows 10 nagware onto domain-attached PCs. It seems no user inconvenience is too great for us, so Microsoft continues to assault with this promotional scheme.Microsoft has been keen to stress

Knew. The slings and arrows......Oh, you cut me to the bone. OK. I'll give it another shot. Order goes: SH3 4 gig patch Sub Cmdr 3.2 Sub Cmdr 3.2 patch for GWX JSME GWX And that's it, yes? No more, "Sub Cmdr is running....", Rundle.dll (wtf is that anyway?), no more having to change register permissions, etc.? Joy!

At least I can still play.David I __________________ 11-19-19, 05:58 AM #15 Growing Old Disgracefully Join Date: Dec 2012 Location: Hythe - Southampton Posts: 9,609 Downloads: 1132Uploads: 0 Fatigue can be changed in SH3 Commander's Game Play Settings there is no need to start altering files.Peter
