It's for your own good, mate. (/sarc)
It never did that before, but it's gone now.
Will never use x. I will do what i can on other platforms.
Windows x is fedgov’s wet dream, and microsquish’s as well.
Upgraded from 8.1 to 10 and am glad I did. Sorry for those that don’t want to. I am anti-nagware. Also upgraded my work computer from 7 to 10. Seems faster.
I installed Linux. No more Microsoft issues!
It was easier than installing Windows.
Note too that manually disabling the autopudate now only works for a maximum of 12 hours before ‘doze resets itself and begins nagging you all over again...
Load Linux Mint.
It's ready for the home desktop.
I find it easy. Disable auto-update.
I’ve never seen “Get Windows 10” Ever.
I run 7 on both machines. I have yet to see any of these nagwares.
I use adblock plus and NoScript. I wonder that’s why.
You can stop the annoying pop-ups by following the procedure below. I have used it and I haven’t been bothered in the past two months. The offending update is KB3035583 and MS repeatedly re-inserts this update every time it offers you other critical updates.
You can refer to the below mentioned steps to hide an update.
Press Window key + X.
Select Control Panel from the list.
Under view by option select large icons.
And then click either Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
Now click on important updates available (recommended).
Click to clear the check box that is next to the KB3035583 update.
Expand the KB3035583 update that you want to hide, and then click the “Don’t show this update again” check box or in my case with Windows 8.1, “hide” .
Click Review and install updates.
I repeat, after performing the above steps, I have not been bothered by the offending pop-up.
Ping... (((.)))
I thought blocking nagware was trivial.
Somebody told me that...
I have a friend who is blind. These pop ups are really messing with his ability to use his computer.
If one was foolish enough to buy a preinstalled version of winblows 7 with a hardware purchase, i.e. a laptop, they will get nagware which is difficult to completely remove.
If you must have winblows...why?...then at least run it as a VM using an **OEM** version (Amazon).
Many of us recently got a message that we had to prove our versions of winblows were valid - WITHIN 72 HOURS OR WE WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING... “Genuine Advantage.”
MS CAN AND WILL kill you deader than a doornail if they think your copy of winblows is invalid.
Don’t be a dope, go with FREE and OPEN Source (or CRapple if you like suicide nets and parking cash offshore to avoid corporate taxes) run winblows as a VM with an OEM version of their shtware.
Reason number 683 of why Windows is being pushed out of my life.
Take a look at Distrowatch.com. They regularly review over 100 Linux distributions and link to them. Something there for everyone. I dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint on my computers. I spend 99% of my computing time in Linux.
I uninstalled KB3035583, ran windows update and found KB3035583 again ready to install, unchecked it and hid it and haven’t got a pop up since.
I’m running Win7 and I have not yet received any nagware to upgrade to 10 or have seen any updates related to 10. Don’t know how I accomplished that.
The solution to Windows 10 nagware? Install Windows Vista. ;-)
There is an easy way to get rid of the Windows 10 nag. Switch to Linux like I just did. It gets easier every year.
