Help needed (again) with KB3080351

I'm trying to permanently block the upgrade of Windows 10 on my Windows 7 Professional x 64. I'm following the instructions in the KB3080351 article:

https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3080351

Yesterday, I received help with the instructions in the article to "Disable the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update", by using the Configuration of the computer.

Now, I'm trying to follow the instructions in the article above to 'Hide the get Windows app (notification area icon) 10', but I encountered a problem with the editing mode of the Windows registry, which States:

For non-Enterprise Windows versions, the notification icon can be deleted via the Windows registry. To do this, set the following registry value:

Subkey: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx
Value DWORD: DisableGwx = 1

The problem is when I browse to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\ - there are no. Gwx.

How can I find the Gwx in the Windows registry?

Thanks for your help!

I thought he'd be more that the other question in your other post here, so I was wondering if it would really work:

Here is an article more encompassing which contains more information that might help:

http://www.askvg.com/how-to-remove-get-Windows-10-app-and-its-icon-from-taskbar/

Don't forget... There is no cancellation or quit without saving it in the registry editor to return to the top and/or make a restore point before you begin so if something goes wrong, you have a way to cancel the change:

    Hi Paul,.

    This article was created when users have faced problem with old drivers for AMD graphics card.

    Yes, you can upgrade to the last 16.1 pilots and who should work well however, you should have 1 GB VRAM or more to take advantage of the GPU processors.

  • I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and need help setting up with CCC!

    Hello world

    I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and could use help setting up with CCC.

    I did in the past without problem, but I want to assure you of a few things:

      1. This particular drive has software available in a folder on the disk backup (w / the PC and Mac versions). But... I intend to use this disk as an exact copy of my iMac HD; It must also be bootable.
      2. Should I format the drive with disk utility? Or load the software to the CCC on the disk and just leave their only backup software?
      3. One last question: I also have a MacBook Air, an iPad and an iPhone. I want to save them as well. Should I put them on separate partitions, I created? Or can we just one big happy family? The last is best.

    One last piece of information: two computers, etc, were all backed up via Time Machine. My data the most important, photos, etc., are also saved on deposit box and/or iCloud on a regular basis.

    Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Sally D.

    Delete and partition the drive by making a separate partition for each computer. The iPad and the iPhone is useless their own partition because they back up using iTunes and would appear in the clone of the computer that you use for each save. Each partition must be the size of the current cloned drive that can leave you with additional partitions for other stuff. Then format the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. Do not install any software that came with the drive, none of this is necessary.

    I use a very similar setup with a 3 TB drive. I clone my boot SSD in a single partition, my drive internal 1 Tb in a second, my Macbook to a third party, and I have a fourth partition which is currently empty, because I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I also have a 3 to Apple Time Capsule.

  • Problem weird again with multiple entries of each album and artist

    For some reason, itunes suddenly began to create an element for each song I download, whether it's an album there or by an artist that I have. I was able to correct some of them harassing again and again with the sorting, but most of the time, it creates just an additional entry! I have about 20 different Manic Street Preachers who come upward (my group preferred so many downloads). How can I fix! Very annoying!

    If iTunes displays multiple instances of an artist or an album then generally what works is to select all the associated tracks and use read the information to add say an end X for each of the areas of the slopes have in common:

    • For an album. Album, Album artist, and artist (if the artist is the same for all tracks) *
    • For an artist; Album artist (and the artist unless there are comments/featured artists listed which should not be changed)

    Apply the change which merges things together, then remove the excess characters. Occasionally, it can help to close and reopen iTunes between two renaming operations.

    * If the titles must be synchronized to a non - iOS device, there should be a common artist or the album must be defined as a Compilation.

    Use the view of songs and display fields, Album, genre, Album, Album artist, genre artist Album, artist and genre artist side by side to see you whether or not it is necessary to change the artist and if sorting values could be the cause of additional problems. See grouping in albums, titles for help if necessary.

    Another tip duplicates stubborn reality. I had three batches of various artists in the view of artists in my iTunes game library the other day that would not respond to usual treatment X back. What I found worked was adding the final X, but with each group, iTunes wanted to separate start typing a value and let iTunes autocomplete of the Var... for various artists. Collection of AutoComplete lists seemed to work when the full value of collage/montage does not.

  • I need assistance with the installation of CS5.5. When I try to install, it tells me "could not initialize installer. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. ", but the Support Advisor is discontinued it brings me to one of these gene

    When I first tried to install CS5.5, it was fine until the complete step. It would not be complete unless I closed Safari and SafariHistory (whatever that is), but to my knowledge, the Safari is not running. He wouldn't let me move forward without leaving the program, so I finally decided to cancel the completion/installation and started during the installation. But the next time I tried to install it, he gave me the message that it could not initialize. I uninstalled CS5.5, but it's always me that is not the message. I don't have another version of the Creative Suite in my computer. What can I do? Help, please.

    Sorry to hear that

    You can try to install the SafeBoot mode or via another user once account applications:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/global/start-safe-boot-mode-Mac.html

    Or try again with the root account: connect to your Mac as a root user and try to install.

    Activation and use of the user 'root' on OS X - Apple support

    or if you still get the same error, I suggest that it is better to perform the manual complete removal of files Adobe and start over with the resettlement process.

  • Impossible to uninstall CC apps again with costs re - install.

    Impossible to uninstall CC apps again with costs re - install.  Windows 8.1.  CC full suite.

    Started having some "white screen" in CC app.  Tried EVERY method of support.

    Now completely stuck between the use of the "AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe" who removed the CC app but cannot uninstall the rest of the programs (photoshop, illustrator, indesign) to reach the scene of the new facility.  What should I do next?  I'm not a novice, visited this rodeo a million times.

    What should I do?

    I am DISGUSTED that I can't get Adobe on the phone or even in a chat session for this problem.  I pay $700 / year for this and I expect to WORK.

  • How do install again with creative cloud?

    ADOBE is milking cows (customers) by asking them to pay every month for CC.

    STILL disappeared from the list of usable in the suite software.

    I need AGAIN, I produce DVD and BD

    This decision was taken without an ounce of consideration for the honest customers from ADOBE.

    If STILL is not new in CC I cancelled my subscription and return to CS6 or competition.

    Who is the marketing director for stupid product that caused this decision? Please fire!
