Anyway to Stop win 8 from nagging me to install 8.1?

[Anubis]

I have a laptop that runs Win 8 and im getting annoyed at constantly being asked to install 8.1. can I turn this off without borking other updates?


the reason I don't want to install 8.1 is because it totally breaks switchable graphics and seemingly nothing can be don't to fix this (F U Dell) the last time I accidently hit next and installed it I had to do a full factory reset to get things working again

You could try the registry edit from here
http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-update-to-windows-8-1-for-free-notification-in-windows-8-store/

There is two keys one is WindowsStore and one is UpgradeNotification

If you have pro, you can use GPEdit for the local policy which is on that page too.
