Last Small Gift to Public (that came up over this GWX crisis) They were always a nuisance and anyway, I am totally happy with my 8.1 as it IS, so if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!! Another precaution I have taken as Administrator, is to block ALL Windows Updates in the Security Options of my computer. When I downloaded 10 initially, it knocked out my keypad and rendered my 8.1 computer useless. This is just SO evil! Windows 10 also removes the Administrator’s abilty to do System Recoveries – either limited or advanced. And according to a Guardian report, MS is now using the top righthand cross as AUTHORITY to download Windows 10. I was always VERY careful when erasing it each time. The taskbar icon has gone, and touch wood, I am hoping I will not get any more little blue screens asking me to “Upgrade” to Windows 10. I am extremely grateful for the advice and am hoping this has done the trick.
