I didn’t intend to upgrade to Windows 10 yet, and this version isn’t even a year old. I’m looking to remove the annoying Windows upgrade button. Should I turn off a startup option in tools like CCleaner or msconfig?

Remove the update from Windows Update. I don’t recall the exact version, but you can cancel that optional install.

I believe the procedure is GWX.exe, ending it could help resolve the issue.

I received a comparable issue from a friend. Removing the KB3035583 update didn’t resolve it, so I opened Task Manager and terminated GWX.exe. Even after that, the file remained visible, so I moved the "GWX" directory in C:\Windows\Sytem32 to "noGWX" (or deleted it if certain) and restarted the computer. The icon is still missing.
