    so OK, I have this 3035583 installed, I see no icon on my task bar for this thing

    Win8.1pro media center with ALL updtes to date

    ==========================================

    EDIT:

    Found a way to get it to show up


    Go to C:/ or your OS drive...and search for GWX file... it is present in the folder C:/Windows/WinSXS/wow64_microsoft-windows-gwx_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17813_none_abd5ff8f5e617f0d/GWX

    Run the GWX application...and you should be good 2 go..

    no, Home OEM

    just installed IE 11, just to make sure it doesn't have a bearing on it

    I don't know what to tell you. Keep trying Windows update every once in a while.

    ah, may have found the problem, update KB 2952664 failed and it's not showing in WU even after a restart

    KB2952664 Compatibility update for upgrading Windows 7



    Edit: looks like i've managed to get it now for some reason

    I am wondering if your PC/Devices and Apps are not "good to go" that you may not receive the invitation/nag screen (depends on your point of view).
    When I first clicked on my Invitation it showed an app (Spybot) that was not compatible with Windows 10. I found this strange in that I had uninstalled it several weeks ago. So, the original scan of my system was done some time ago.
