I'm sick of "Get Window 10 message, I want it gone.
I tried at first playing nice and removing update KB 3035583, This didn't work for me. Because MS seem to be pushing the update multiple times as I've had to hide two different versions of the same KB update. So it will probably just keep coming back.
So after some research I discovered the program is contained in
C:\windows\system32\GWX. Delete the folder? - not easy because MS has assigned system privileges to the folder.
So you need to change the permissions of the GWX folder
On the C:\Windows\System32\GWX folder properties
Go to security and click advanced
Then go to the owner tab and click edit. It should automatically have Administrators and your username in there,
Click your username and near the bottom check the box that says replace owner on subcontainers then click OK.
Then go to the permissions tab on the advanced security settings Click change permissions then click Add and add your username Check the Full control box and click OK.
Then check the Replace all child object permissions and click OK Then OK on the advanced security settings window and close the folder properties window. Now you can delete or rename it.
I chose to rename the folder to GWXNOT. Which destroys the windows path and effectively kills the message. If I ever want Win 10, the folder can be renamed again and update offer re-instated.
Other may decide to delete the folder and files completely.
DISCLAIMER: This worked for me on Win 7 /64. It should work on
Win7 /32 and all versions of Win 8. But the procedure is done at you own risk without any guarantee of not causing other problems.
Enjoy......
