    Ok Shawn I didn't know about re clicking the paper clip again I've tried another test run but I cannot get it to attach.

    I am sorry but tit it seems really very difficult compared to the old 7 way

    Hi Brink,

    I have what could easily be a stupid question...
    What happened to step 2 in Option Two?
    I have not yet tried to implement this solution, and seeing that none have had a problem with the procedure, it seems like it was an oversight of renumbering the steps.
    Thanks for the tutorial; it seems to be the simplest solution I've read. I will apply Option One.
    Cheers.

    Hello Alphonse, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    Yeah, it was mistake in the numbering. Thank you for letting me know. It has now been corrected.

    Shawn, does the group policy option add that reg key when enabled?

    I notice I already have that reg entry without using the reg file.

    Correct. It's not there by default, and only added when merging the .reg file to apply the policy. :)

    Thanks Shawn, I kind of figured that must be the case.

    The Group Policy Edit plus the simple GWX Control Panel at http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/ have defeated Microsoft's attempts to upgrade my desktop PC so far!

    Today for the first time I got the update nag when checking for new updates. I have since added the registry entry mentioned in the tutorial as well as set the group policy entry for the update yet I still got the nag on start up. I found the entries in task manager but Windows won't let me disable the ones under gpxtriggers. I did disable the others so on last reboot I did not get the nag. How do I make sure that I don't get it again and that Windows isn't downloading the update?

    Hey townsbg, :)

    Double check to see if this below is what you're seeing instead.

    Yes that's what it is so I already implemented option 2. How do I make sure that it isn't being downloaded?
