Hello,
Thankfully, since using this programme, I haven't been bothered by the Get
Windows Ten prompts, although I am told that in certain circumstances they can
return. What I hated most about the prompt was that if I were using programmes
like Goldwave, it would affect their usability by putting its big feet all over
the parts of the screen where some Goldwave menus are displayed. I agree with
your comment that the getting of Windows 10 should be an option and not an
underhanded tactic by Windows. It;'s about as irritating as a cold call and
does Microsoft no favours.
Best,
Clive

Hi Joe. try the following guide which I posted a few weeks ago.
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,
