Win7's 3035583 WinX Plague!

[Z15CAM]

Hide the UpDate and it returns every month as an UpDate - WTF with's MS!

 

[bbhaag]

I noticed it popped back up on my 8.1 computer too so it is not just Win7. Hide it again I guess and we will see what happens. That's what I'm gonna do anyway.

When it wast first released, it was the only update responsible for the upgrade. The Micro$h4ft kept adding more and more updates that are either telemetry updates or Windows 10 preparation updates so you need to have them all uninstalled and hidden.

Check my post there that is updated regularly, you probably have all the other Windows 10 upgrade preparation updates installed!

Updates to hide to prevent Windows 10 Upgrade / Disable Telemetry

PS: I never had this update show up again ever after doing the Disk Cleanup / Windows Updates Cleanup Tool

Unfortunately your first link is not applicable for 8.1 systems. At least not on mine. When I run regedit and click through the tree the GWX folder is not there. It might be a very nice solution for Win7 users though.

[QUOTEthe GWX folder is not there. ][/QUOTE]

Don't exist on my Win7 Sp1 64-Bit Ultimate OS and neither does the GWX entry in the Registry - Go Figure?

Unselecting this in WU settings should help
Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates

Mine is gone for good, after uninstalling it, hiding and doing mentioned.

Well I'll be damned if that didn't work. Thanks for the link man much appreciated. So far it works great.

Trying it myself - I don't want to be nagged with the MS 2025583 WnX UpDate

 

[Z15CAM]

Thanks!for the responses - I went for the RegEdit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\. Create new dword value named: Gwx/DisableGwx, with a value of 1.

Hopefully I will not be nagged with the MS UpDate 3035583 prescient UpDate to UpDate to WinX next month.

If it don't work to rid the 3035593 UpDate NAG I will delete the KEY and start over

Will Let you know next month - LOL!

Hopefully it works for both of us. I've already reset my pc 3 times, ran Windows Update, and just for good measure ran sfc /scannow. All of them ran without issue which is a good sign IMO.

So far I haven't gotten that annoying Win10 icon in the system tray at start up and Windows Update looks normal. No more nag update screen. I'm not holding my breath that this will last but I'm enjoying it for now.

Control Panel > Windows Update > Update options > UNCHECK "Give me recommended updates"

Easy.

I don't understand why it unhides it, but just telling Windows to not even do recommended updates and only critical security updates only works on every single system I've done this to (dozens of computers).

Personally I'm liking Win10 but I can understand why others wouldn't want it, or at least not right away. Most of the systems I manage will likely go to Win10 in the future but just not right now seeing as they are in corporate environments. It will happen when we want it to happen, not when it decides to.

For those who want a simpler option, here it is:

This is what i use at work to permanently hide that update. Works on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 with no problems.

Takes about 5 seconds to do

When was this update released.. It seems our domain admin has not allowed it to be installed on our domain systems or it hasn't hit our wsus

 

[bbhaag]

Back in September I believe. Right around the launch of Win10.

Back in September I believe. Right around the launch of Win10.

it came few months before Win 10, which came out July 29th.

Has it really been that long? dang....It feels just like yesterday when Microsoft was forcing it down our throats.

Let them all install, and then disable GWX via the registry fix: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2449765

Same with the telemetry updates. You can install them, and then disable the Diagnostics and Telemetry tracking service via Services, which will have the same result as not installing them in the first place.

If you go trying to avoid every GWX related update, you run the risk of withholding some updates that might be important to your current OS.

I'm starting to lean towards this approach, if it was just 2 or 3 updates... meh, big deal; but the sheer number of updates certainly means something worthy would be left behind.

I've deleted GWX in some manner previously (I don't remember the exact process) so it doesn't show up in my system. I went into Services and disabled Diagnostic Tracking Service... but I don't have 'Diagnostics and Telemetry Tracking Service' specifically. Is this the correct fix or am I missing something?

same thing happened to me, i hid this update a month ago and it came back this morning. I do not wish to be forced to windows 10.

A moderator at NBR Forums created a script that uninstalls all the bad updates in one shot, try to run it then reboot once its done.

Then search for Windows Updates again and hide all the new updates that appear. This way you are sure that you didn't miss out on any of the bad updates.

Make sure to run it as admin

If you want to create the script yourself, here it is:

berryracer: Yes Berry I do not any of them Updates on my Win7 SP1 64-Bit OS and have hidden them all but MS still is determined that you install KB3035583 by listing it in your monthly updates although you have it hidden.

So be aware of the KB3035583 NAG every month as you will have to hide it again and don't forget to inspect the new Win7 updates for Telemetry which you also have to hide.

thanks for warning me boss. I appreciate it

Time and Date is 10:38 PM Friday, October, 2015 - That &^%$*& KB3035583 NAG showed up again in the MS monthly Update on my Win7 SP1 64-Bit Ultimate OS.

So I'm going to HIDE it again and delete the useless Reg GWX entry in the registry I put in last month plus I don't have any GWX (Get Windows 10) directories in my system or any of the above updates that BerryRacer refers to.

*&^$ MS for this CRAP.

 

[GrumpyMan]

Lol, yeah it showed up again for me too the other day along with another telemetry KB that I had hidden before . I'll keep hiding it a usual.
