    Hmm, is there any list or anything of what software is incompatible? As far as I know I don't have anything out of the ordinary installed.
    You have Windows 7 SP1 installed? All updates from Windows update are installed, including IE11? You have Windows update set to automatically update? That doesn't mean notify of updates.. it means automatic..

    Yup, I'm totally up to date except for a couple device drivers that I've hidden. The Update settings are set to "Install updates automatically" with every box below it ticked.

    Since I don't opt in to the Customer Experience Improvement Program, I've been disabling the tasks listed here for years:

    VMware Documentation Library

    On my Windows 7 system, I did not get the upgrade icon. In Event Viewer, I found GWX-Ins events stating that "Ceip is not opted in". Remembering the CEIP tasks I had disabled, I tried re-enabling and running the 5 tasks mentioned in the VMWare article, and the one that made the difference was Consolidator. I don't know if it caused Application Experience service to run or not; currently it is not running and set to Manual, and I have never touched it. I also did not opt in to CEIP after re-enabling the tasks. Anyway, after causing GWX to run again, the Windows 10 update icon appeared in the notification area.

    Alright so I got it working! I basically followed all of the advice offered since my last post in one go (probably not a good idea in general), rebooted, and manually ran GWX.exe under "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\GWX". I'm not entirely sure what specifically triggered it, but thanks a lot for the suggestions guys!
