MN dhawk Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Windows 10 solicitations no longer have an "x" to back out of the add. I can schedule the download into the future but not past April 4. Is anyone else being abused like this. Has anyone been OK with an upgrade from 7 to 10? Thanks.

Possi Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I won't upgrade. I can go to the bottom of the window and close it. Hover over it and right click, see if you can close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Here is the best article I have seen about dealing with the WIN 10 PIA bug... http://www.howtogeek.com/218856/how-do-you-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-tray/ It is a little bit technical, but there are a couple of places with simple instructions. Microsoft has been changing to a bad-ass bully about this, and many users are fed up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Download and run GWX Control Panel and 10 will not bother you anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN dhawk Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Another suggestion I got was to turn off automatic updates. It seems to have stopped the adds. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schirallicpa Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 mine updated on me one fine day while i wasn't sitting in front of it. Makes me mad. and annoying to get used to in the middle of busy season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 My laptop did that. I didn't accept the terms, so it went back to 7 taking a very long time. But, it went back. Not updating during tax season. Probably not updating until it's a new computer. (I'd followed some instructions I read here to keep my desktop from asking to upgrade, but hadn't gotten around to doing that on my lesser used laptop. Now, I can't find those instructions.)

GeneInAlabama Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I upgraded back in December and regretted it ever sense. To be fair though, my problems might be caused by my internet hiccupping during the download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
