Hi. Please see the below message with instructions.

A guide to disabling windows10 upgrade for your system until you want to upgrade
Hello Everyone.

Recently, people have been asking me how they can disable windows 10 icons and
upgrade files from being downloaded to their systems and Microsoft nagging
them to upgrade. it should be an option, not under handed tactics by microsoft
to download files to your system. certain users have also reported that
the get windows10 icon has been affecting productivity with certain apps.
here's a quick way to permanently disable the upgrade until you wish to reenable
it and take advantage of microsoft's offer.

first, download the following program and click save, do not click run. you
will need to save the file in case you need to upgrade at a later stage.

After you've saved the file, click on it to launch it. the license agreement
will be displayed. click on i accept and continue. You will see various buttons
on the interface. If you see a disable windows10 upgrade option, click on it to
disable the various programs and icons that are running as part of the
windows10 upgrade. when you run the tool in future, it will give you the option
to enable the upgrade as opposed to disabling it. the program does offer
other options to clear the windows update cache, but you may not need them and
they should only be used as a last resort to remove windows files. If you
do decide to clear the windows update cache and downloaded windows10 files,
your update history will be reset and the windows update screen will show that
you have never previously installed any updates. updates you have hidden will
also have to be rehidden. for more information and a full description of
what the program does and how it works, visit the author's page at:

all the best,

Mo.

Hi folks, if this has been discussed before then I’m sorry must have missed
it! As per-subject, anyone know how to get rid of this “get windows 10”
message? It pops up regularly and as I have no intention of upgrading to
windows 10 it’s driving me even more nuts than usual!

Thank you!

Alistair
