Both of my computers (desktop and laptop) are Windows 7 Pro and I'm happy with them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

But now I am being subjected every time I turn either one of them on, to hurry up and reserve my copy of Windows 10.

I don't want those ads, and I don't want Version 10!

This is really annoying. How do I get those ads to stop? I haven't seen any way to stop them.

Thanks in advance!

1. You need to remove the following update, KB3035583

Last edited Sat Aug 15, 2015, 10:48 PM - Edit history (1)

Go to "Programs (uninstall a program)" in the "Control Panel" under category.

Click on "View installed updates" on the top left corner.

Find KB3035583 and uninstall the routine.

Then Reboot the computer to finish the uninstall.


If you need more information, reply to your thread or PM me

2. I will give it a try, and thanks.

3. I found the correct place, but there are so many of them.

Do you have a date that would help me?

Wow. So many.

I will keep looking.

4. Yes, in the top right is a find files box

Put KB3035583 in that box (copy and paste if you want), it should pop up

Time and date will depend on when you did the update, unknown from my end

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. OK, I'll try that! Thanks.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. It did pop up, and I uninstalled. Now we'll see!

[mrdmk]

7. A reboot will clear the advertisement

Also be sure not to reinstall the update, I did that. It really pissed me off!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. You mean I need to reboot my computer?

[mrdmk]

9. yes

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. OK, I will do that.

[mrdmk]

11. I will fix the first post to indicate a reboot is needed, thank-you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Alas, the ad showed up. Damn. I wonder what happened?

Maybe I reinstalled it?

13. Look at the following link, it is explained in full with other info if the problem remains

14. Here is the information for others who are experiencing this problem

The sneaky Windows 10 update alert is the result of KB3035583 update, a Windows 10 upgrade preparatory package. The update created a new directory in C:\Windows\System32\GWX and installs some executables and files that serve as a notification tool that could display banners and other ads for Windows 10 as the launch date approaches. Meanwhile, the GWXUXWorker.exe file acts as the Windows 10 downloader.

The Windows 10 update notifier behaves according to the phase and how close to the Windows 10 launch is. Digging through the config.xml file reveals the phases that Windows 10 launch could be in, such as None, AnticipationUX, Reservation, Reserved, RTM, GA, UpgradeDetected, UpgradeDownloadInProgress, UpgradeDownloaded, UpgradeReadyToInstall, UpgradeReadySetupInProgress, UpgradeSetupCompatBlock, UpgradeSetupRolledBack, UpgradeSetupFailed, UpgradeSetupComplete and etc.

It’s possible to disable and remove the “Get Windows 10″ icon and notification window, by uninstalling KB3035583 update, which was delivered as recommended update to Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 7 Starter installed with Service Pack 1 (SP1) early April 2015.

15. That looks really good.

I will try it later, after I see a TV program that I like.

You've been very patient and I appreciate it!

16. You are welcomed, it is a shame this is such a problem

17. There is more than one KB file to uninstall for Windows 10.

Now I can't find the article. I did uninstall KB3035583, but the Windows 10 notification reloads on my computer, too.

[mrdmk]

18. Please see post #13, there is a directory that needs to be deleted

Also, there is a link on the page for a removal to program which will help.

A simple explanation is that if you try to opt out, the Microsoft routine KB3035583 will make a new directory with a few executable files to continue the marketing strategy.

Here is the deal, Windows 10 collects more information than any other Operating System on the use of the computer and sends it all to Microsoft. Why Microsoft needs to know what apps you use and how you use them with a keylogger is beyond me. Some of these functions can be turned off, but not all. Windows 10 seems to more about Microsoft collecting information than the customers who are buying a license to use the operating system.
