If you actually installed it, as I did (I tend to prefer Windows Installers for these kinds of things) go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and you should find GWX Control Panel there, and you should be able to right-click on it and click on Uninstall. If you have the notifier, the little monitor app that’s running the little 10 icon that’s sitting in the Taskbar, turn that off, exit the interface and then if you just downloaded and ran the program, simply locate wherever you downloaded it to and delete the program. Review the other settings in the interface, and then turn off the notifier. Revisit that setting set it to what you want.

My recommendation has always been that automatic updates should be on and should be automatic especially in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 where you at least have some amount of control returning those settings to always automatically update to me is the safest most secure thing to do.īut again, revisit this setting, because it is something that you probably altered in order to prevent the Windows 10 download. Most notably is the control of Windows Automatic Updates. Before you do so, once again, I recommend that you run GWX Control Panel’s interface and review the settings that are there to make sure that before you get rid of the program, the settings are the way you want them. In either case, you can get rid of the program.

You could simply download it and run it, or you can run the installer. In the case of GWX Control Panel, there were two different ways to run the program. Then all you need to do is not run it again delete it do whatever you like. You may not have to it’s up to you, but if you want to restore your machine to the state it was before this entire fiasco started, that’s probably what I would do. My recommendation for that one, run it again, determine if you want to undo that setting change. It’s simply an application that you run, it makes a setting change, and then you’re done with it. In the case of Never10, for example, it’s not really something that runs all of the time. So, in theory, and I’m going to come back to why I keep saying, “in theory”, in theory those applications are no longer necessary, so yes, you can uninstall them. In theory, those applications are no longer necessary because in theory, Microsoft is no longer going to be pushing Windows 10 on to machines that aren’t currently running it.

The free update that GWX (Get Windows 10) was about has passed as of a couple of weeks ago. Whether or not people wanted it, or at least nagging people who knew that they weren’t going to want it, both of these programs allowed you to basically disable those warnings, disable those messages, prevent the automatic download, and in many cases, prevent the automatic update. Now you may remember that GWX Control Panel and another application called Never10 were solutions to Microsoft’s insistent downloading and automatic updating of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines to Windows 10. I got a question from a friend, actually, earlier this week asking me if it was time to go ahead and remove GWX Control Panel. So, is it time to remove GWX Control Panel?
