"Get Windows 10" is back!
|
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
Well, it looks like the hour that the Microsoft Accessibility Hotline technician spent the other day trying to remove the “get windows 10” popup removed from my computer was ultimately unsuccessful.
The thing is back!
Looks like it’s time once again to call the Hotline, and have them try again!
I find this to be absolutely ridiculous!

My guess is that the Microsoft Accessibility person (who does work
for Microsoft after all) didn't hide KB3035583 so it downloaded
again today. You have to hide it from the list of updates, then you
have to tell Windows Update you don't want recommended updates the
same way as important updates, and then you have to pray.

Brad:
I asked, and she told me that she hid the KB3035583 update, but it obviously didn’t work.
Or, at least, that’s my theory.

KB3035583 There are other updates that bring GWX back, too. I just managed to find some of the identified updates on Bleepingcomputer.com in this post on the Windows 10 forum. As I've said on other threads, Microsoft is being very aggressive about this. There is a reason that I have recommended GWX Control Panel, and that is because it works in removing GWX and keeping it removed (at least in the installed version). The developer has been very good about keeping up with the ongoing updates that launch the next attempt to install GWX on computers again. I imagine the parade will continue at least through the end of July. Brian

I’m perplexed because I continue to be spared the Win10 notification. Fingers crossed.

I know I am a bit late to
this discussion, but here is a program I find that seems to do the trick. It is
free, and seems to work with screen readers.
Seems to keep being updated it as Microsoft
keeps finding new ways to get Windows 10 shoved down our throats.
