Lets get to it, a quick and direct step by step guide to turn off those pesky ‘Upgrade to Windows 10’ messages and hide them from returning, including removing the blue Windows 10 Update icon from the tray.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The following is using Windows 8.1:<\/p>\n

Part 1 – UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go to Start > Control Panel<\/strong>, then in the ‘All Control Panel Items’ window select the ‘up one level’ arrow<\/strong> that is pointing up, which brings you to the ‘Control Panel’ window<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Click on ‘System and Security’ > ‘Windows Update’. \u00a0Then go to the bottom left side of the ‘Windows Update’ window and click on ‘Installed Updates.’<\/p>\n

In the search field (top right of the ‘Installed Updates’ window) type in kb3035583. \u00a0You should see the file that has a longer title, but also has this letter\/number combination. \u00a0Click on it to uninstall that update.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While this removes the update, unfortunately that update will reinstall, so we have to now hide the future update. \u00a0To do this do the following so that this reminder will never appear on your computer again:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"win-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part 2 – HIDE INSTRUCTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Close out the Control Panel\u00a0windows.<\/p>\n

Go\u00a0to\u00a0Start > Control Panel<\/strong> to open the\u00a0‘All Control Panel Items’ <\/strong>window.<\/p>\n

This time, just\u00a0scroll down to and click on ‘Windows Update.’<\/strong> On the left column click on ‘Check for Updates’<\/strong>. \u00a0This will show the file you just uninstalled under a\u00a0heading of\u00a0an ‘Important Update,’ probably next to some optional updates.<\/p>\n

Simply ‘Right-Click’<\/strong>\u00a0(don’t Left-Click) on the file name (a link) that has kb3035583<\/strong> in it\u00a0and select ‘Hide Update’<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Close out the window, restart your computer, and notice the ‘Windows 10 Update’ icon has disappeared from your tray. \u00a0You are done, and free of those pesky messages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Share with your friends and family, we’d appreciate the traffic. Thanks to Chris at CSR Computers<\/a> in Indiana for the tips. \u00a0They are amazing.<\/p>\n
