I tried the Windows10 update..Don't like the fact that I can't have a standalone version, without going out and buying it. Except for the start menu in Wiin10, Win8 in almost the same. I went went back to Window8.1, ran the GWX_control_panel.exe to get rid of the "Get Windows10 icon" from...

My first computer was a XT that was a 8 megahertz cpu, with a 20-meg FM hard-drive. Now I run 2 towers. My better is a i5 quad-core with 16 gigs ram, 7870 chipset videocard. My first car was a 1963 Chevy Canso, with a 194 six-cylinder engine. ....now I'm rebuilding a car I bought last year...

If you already have the "Get Windows 10" icon in you're system tray... download and run "GWX_control_panel.exe". Worked great for me.

I was thinking it too. Just a bit annoying seeing it in the system tray until then,,,,,,

Ok... I ran both those .bat's in that zip file. I still get the GWXUX after several reboots. It's not a big deal. Just click on "close program" takes care of it. Just a bit annoyed with that dumb icon in my system-tray.

I have windows 8.1 and am quite happy with it. Don't want to upgrade to the "free" Windows 10. But getting a bit po'd about the GWXUX cropping up on every re-start. (no hurry to get win10). Don't give me some crazy amount of steps to get rid of it. Is their a REG to just kill it...??? (or...

Software from the 3.1 days might be stretching it. The quick-launch bar came in Windows 95b...

I was surprised to see that my legal copy of Paint Shop Pro 7 actually works just fine, even in Windows 10....!

I'll have to check. My cpu is a i5 3330 quad-core, and have 16-gigs of ram...... hummm.

When I am watching a tv series off my hard-drive... after about 15 or so episodes... vlc starts to act funny... though it may be Windows. I have to manually un-click the watched episode, manually click on the next episode, then right-click and click on play. Plus the spacebar does not...

OK... I'm still a Win7 nut. I actually ran an official oem of Win8.1, didn't like it.... tried the alpha AND beta version of Win10... still don't like it. Microsoft has offered me like many, a free version of Windows10. Makes you wonder................. Even when they screwed up...

You're right my module p/n numbers are different than suggested. Still works fine now.

Ok, I'm late in my response. The problem seemed to be in my ram. The board had my 16-gigs of ram clocked at 1.5 volts. The ram is actually 1.65 volts. Once I clicked on custom, then profile1, it automatically went to 1.65 volts. Now why couldn't Gigabyte figure that out in the first...

I have had several times in the last while where my system 2/3's freezes up. Can't get back to the desktop just after minutes, but still able to reboot. Wondering if it is this B75M-D3H Gigabyte board..?

I am firm believer in Ccleaner.. Used in in Win7 and Win8.1. Get it from the original source is right. I've done the registry clean portion a number of times... just save the REG as the program suggests, before doing so...
