Microsoft created a background process: twice a day to detect Windows 7/8.1 update update

Computer store news: Microsoft has previously announced that since 2016 will be more active to promote the upgrade of Windows 10 system, and now Microsoft has made Corresponding adjustments. The popular application GWX Control Panel is helping Windows 7/8.1 users to prevent Windows 10 from being upgraded. The application author Josh Mayfield recently revealed to InfoWorld that Microsoft has recently made adjustments in the KB3035583 update to silently create a new background process, twice in a day. Check if the updater is up and automatically reactivate if it is closed.

KB3035583 is responsible for installing the "Get Windows 10" application update, and "forced" Windows 7/8.1 devices are upgraded, and applications created by Josh Mayfield help block Switch to upgrade to the latest operating system. If the user just turns off the Get Windows 10 application and still turns on Windows Update, the update will be checked twice a day, and once the application is found to be closed, the application will continue to be reactivated in the background.

Mayfield said: "About 1 month ago, the KB3035583 update began installing a new background process with a higher priority than the previous version, and it will detect if the AllowOSUpgrade value is 1 (representing activation) within one day. . At present, not all users will have this background process. I don't know how Microsoft determines which users will be activated. But for those users who open the process, the currently provided GWX application can only help you in the 12-hour range. Be free from updates. ”
