In depth
A closer look at Portable GWX Stopper
Ever since Microsoft has launched Windows 10, users of previous operating system editions, such as 8 and 7, have been subjected to a continuous flow of upgrade notifications and offers. Running under the name of GWX, the 'Get Windows 10' app was deployed back in 2015 as a recommended Windows update, being included in the Windows Task Scheduler to periodically display nagging upgrade reminders. Fortunately for those who find upgrade messages annoying, developers promptly responded to Microsoft's advertising program and created various applications that can block the Windows 10 upgrade and the somewhat tiresome notifications. One of these applications is suggestively called Portable GWX Stopper.
