Re: FIX FOR MICROSOFT FORCED WINDOWS 10 INSTALL

Hey Smoky!   Well, that sux.

 

Were you using the 'monitoring' feature of CCleaner?  I just Googled your problem and was reading a bunch of stuff.

 

 

But one thing I saw is that maybe installing it again but not using the 'monitoring' feature would help.   I don't use the monitoring feature of CCleaner, so when one update a while back brought that on, I disabled it.  I just pull up CC when I want to use the functions.

 

Maybe that will help or maybe not - just a thought.  It sounds like it's just MS being overly bossy.  Smiley Sad

I guess that's another reason I'll add to my "Reasons I don't want to install Win 10 to my Win 7 laptop" list, @smoky22Woman LOL   It'll be interesting to see if it will be made compatible with Win10 in the future as it's such a popular tool with users at large.

@chickenbutt  thanks.   I think I'll do some research on the compatibility of CCleaner and Windows 10.

Thank you for the reminder -- running CC cleaner is imperative.

I sent GPX Control $10.

Sorry, @Spurt,  It's Ultimate OUTSIDER!!  Woman LOL

 

 

While I have you... Once you install the program, you'll be blocking all the Win 10 update files from installing.  In addition, I suggest that you run a "cleaner".  I use CC Cleaner (freebie) here.  Also, the Register Cleaner within the program.  MS leaves behind some unneeded files so this will clean them out.

Isn't it 'GWX Control Panel'?   That is what the one I have is called.
