    Windows 10 spam from MS

    Im a Windows 8 user and have "upgrade to Windows 10" spam pop up regularly enough. Is there a way that I can stop this or is Microsoft going to bully users with spam until they relent and upgrade to Windows 10 to stop the popups.
    Cheers
    Slunnie

    Do yourself a favour and upgrade it - everyone that bought a computer with Windows 8 gets a free upgrade to 10 because 8 is a dog and they know it and the upgrade is well worth it. Much more stable and user friendly. SWMBO used to drive me crazy with her temper when she was running 8, now her tantrums at the computer are much less...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Go into the Task Manager and end the process called "GWX.exe", will remove the taskbar icon and stop popups.

    Then go get a copy of Windows 7 and enjoy a logical user interface for a change my next computer will have to be a Mac if they keep carrying on with this nonsense...

    completely wrong is pretty self explanatory.
