Settings for uninstalling the update, to get rid of the GWX files yes, one has to go to explorer, find all the GWX files and individually take ownership and change permissions in order to delete. Just finished doing that so it appears a hard reset isn't required.Why are you crawling around at the Settings? You can uninstall updates starting from the explorer or the control panel.Now I don't know if this will work or not, go to Check for Updates (in Settings since you have Win 8), look for Update History and find update kb3035583. If it's there right click on it and see if it gives you the option to delete it. You may have to find a way to open the updates as Administrator.The Win 10 upgrade will start loading itself automatically after bootup if you don't catch it and stop it
Actually I have (yet another) "update" scheduled to boot up today. Maybe I should deliberately kick it in so I can intercept it? Will that even be possible?
If it's not there then open the Update Available box, find it among the updates available for download, right-click on it and select Hide. That way it will not download the update.
The problem is I don't know if it will work on Win 8 since it's set up different than Win 7.
Shit, just discovered Win 10 downloading after rebooting even after uninstalling the GWX files........ Fuck!!!!
