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:
