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
