About this tag
The GWX Manager is a component of Microsoft's Get Windows 10 (GWX) application, which was used to notify users about the free upgrade to Windows 10. In discussions on WindowsForum.com, users have reported issues where security software like McAfee blocks the GWX Manager, preventing the upgrade notification from appearing.

The tag covers troubleshooting steps for GWX Manager-related upgrade issues, including conflicts with antivirus software and error messages during the upgrade process.
