Windows 10

Good luck, JD. It sucks when crap like that happens. Not the end of the world, just a big pain in the butt.

Thanks.

Reinstalls are always a pain - which is why I had hoped the restore to Windows 7 would've worked. But they are beneficial from time to time.

Truth be told, I'm actually a lot less bothered than I normally would be about this and that's because I have my board games and modelling.

That would almost makes the hassle you've gone through worth it, wouldn't you say?

It's working for me.  2 games installed and that's it.  I admit Sword of the Stars will be going on tonight too.

Not until your homework is done, Mister.

Damn it!  I know, I know.  Taking a break right now to watch State's football game.

Stupid get Windows 10 app was installed again by Windows Update. 

[Staggerwing]

Yeah, I got it on my game rig a week or two ago. I couldn't find that '$something-or-other' folder anywhere so I ignored the icon.

Now the icon is gone. Somehow that seems even more ominous...  ???

It probably downloaded and is sitting on your machine waiting to be installed.

I had to uninstall the damned update...again - http://www.howtogeek.com/218856/how-do-you-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-tray/

Here's where to find the install files if they downloaded

FU Microscum. I've uninstalled KB3035583 (the update that adds the Get Windows 10 tray icon) twice and hidden it in Windows Update 3 times. And it still wants to install when updates are run. Malware BS!
