THIS. This is the answer. Has nothing to do with the tools you use, if you modify the privacy settings (which the tools do) then the read text appears. Worry not about the red text being something more than what it is, a little red text.
I got notification windows 10 has been downloaded & is ready to install on win 7 machine. I don't want to install it. How do I remove it?
Windows ~BT folder, you have to view hidden files and folders to find it. AT least I think thats the folder it goes too. Windows~SW or similar is from the windows creation tool. Should be at root of c: like c:\Windows~BT
Thanks, but i looked for those hidden files and did not find them. I found the update in windows update (see below ) but I don't know how to get rid of it. The notification said it had downloaded & was ready to install but I don't know maybe they meant the download was available. "Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro Download size: 2,699.0 MB"
if it was downloading it, you would see its progress in WU. So you are lucky I think. try just removing that update to get rid of it?
Thanks, I can hide the update but not otherwise remove it. Another Guru question: I tried deleting some win 10 associated GWX files but can't because the need permission from a "Trusted Installer". What's that about? I'm getting the feeling that to really remove all win 10 update stuff from win 7 I will have to do a clean re-install.
Go to Windows Update > Installed Updates, then search for each of these updates: KB2952664, KB3035583 and KB3021917. Uninstall each, restart your computer, then go back to updates, check for updates and hide these 3. Make sure you are not set to install updates automatically, but to choose what is installed. This should stop the nagware and at least some of the telemetry gathering in W7. KB3035583 and KB3021917 pertain W10 nagware that shows up in W7. KB2952664 has to do with recent telemetry added to W7.
Or go to abbodi's post #7 and Skaendo's post #8 on the thread: Safe way to get rid of updating to Windows 10 for a more complete answer.
I was bound and determined to find out what the problem was (Post 8396) with WMP, so after trying everything, I finally put Win 8.1 back on (Backup image) upgraded to Win 10, then clean installed, guess what I found, Windows Media Player was not the default media player, Movies and TV was, all video & sound extensions to them, yes you can set WMP as default player in Control, but the picture in preview pane remains the same for all videos even though it plays them, so bottom line, set it to Movies & TV, they phased out WMC, I think WMP is on it's way out to
I want to test enterprise version. I can activate it by using Ratiborus KMS activator. Now, is it safe to connect it to my Microsoft Account. I have there a legitimate Windows 10 Pro upgraded from 8.1, Don't they destroy this license?
Gabe Aul say remove all drivers through device manager, this says use add/remove in control panel, I think you had better listen to NVidia on this, after you remove in Control panel, remove what's left in device manager
