Just a carpenter, that took a liking to computers..

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...

Ok... I've been with Windows since 3.1. XP was pretty good, but Win7 just rocks. Micky is bad, not to give it a service-pack-2. I had Win8.1 on a laptop, and tried Win10 beta on my tower. I can't say that I love it...unless you like your laptop screen shaking everytime you tap it. ...and...

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