Teach you how to prevent the display of Windows 10 upgrade ads

Computer Store News: In order to convince as many users as possible to upgrade to Windows 10, Microsoft can be said to be exhausted. If your computer meets the free upgrade criteria but has not been upgraded, it should have begun to display upgrade ads frequently. However, not all Windows 7 and 8 users want to upgrade. If you've had enough of Microsoft's annoying upgrade ads, here are some ways to stop them.

If you want to disable and remove the "Get Windows 10" icon and notification window, just uninstall the KB3035583 upgrade, as follows:

1 Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update.

2. Click on “Installed Updates in the lower left corner of the screen.

3. Find the Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3035583) upgrade, you can find it by typing KB3035583 in the search box.

4. Click Uninstall, OK, and restart your computer.

Alternatively, you can open the Command Prompt window as an administrator and then uninstall the upgrade by entering the following command:

WUSA /Uninstall /KB:3035583

Restart After you finish, there should be no annoying access to the Windows 10 system tray icon and the Windows 10 free upgrade offer in your computer. Some users' computers may still have KB3035583 upgrade file residuals in %WinDir%\\System32\\GWX, you just need to manually delete them.

If you don't want to uninstall the system upgrade patch, you can use the system's Registry Editor (Regedit) to create the following registry keys and values. You can also copy the following to Notepad, keep it in .reg format, and then double-click to run:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Gwx]

"DisableGwx" ;=dword:00000001

In addition, you can rename the two executable files GWXUXWorker.exe and GWX.exe, which are responsible for upgrading the pop-up ads. The specific method is to use the task manager to end the GWX.exe process, enter the C:\\Windows\\System32\\GWX folder, rename the two files, or simply delete the entire GWX folder.

If you feel that these methods are too complicated for yourself, you can achieve the same effect through some third-party applications, such as Win10WiWi or I Don’t Want Windows 10.

But then, you don't really have a reason to stick to Windows 7 and 8, especially considering that you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free until next summer. Even if you find that you don't like the operating system after the upgrade, you can roll back directly to the pre-upgrade system version. But whether it is upgraded or not is the user's own choice, and Microsoft's self-promotional information is indeed annoying.
