Removal of Windows 10 Upgrade Prompts
Windows 7 and Windows 8 based systems are probably prompting you to upgrade to Windows 10.
If you do not wish to upgrade to Windows 10 then these prompts can be disabled
There are two steps to disabling Windows 10 Update prompts.
Step 1 - Remove the KB3035583 so it no longer looks to see if you need to upgrade to Windows 10
Step 2 - Update the Registry with the keys to disable the update prompts
Create a Batch file to remove the Windows update
echo off
cd\
cd c:\windows\system32
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3035583 /quiet /norestart
exit
Create the Registry Edit file, then create a batch file to run the registry update
Create a registry edit file with the following;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"DisableOSUpgrade"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX]
"DisableGWX"=dword:00000001
Create a Batch file to run the Registry update
Remember to save the batch file in the folder where you saved copied the .reg file.
(Remember to enter the correct patch to your shared folder)
@ECHO OFF
mkdir c:\tmps
xcopy /Y \\192.168.200.57\apps\disablewin10upg\*.reg c:\tmps
cd c:\tmps\
regedit /s disable-win10-upg.reg
rd c:\tmps /S /Q
exit
Create a Third Party Job Temple that will run the two batch files to remove the KB and update the registry
To confirm the registry has updated, regedit on a target machine and check that the new entries are present
