Speaking of threshold, I only lost speccy and I just moved it from windows.old to my hdd. Everything's fine and nothing reset itself as a default program. :>

I've been cleaning up space for Threshold 2 because of the windows.old folder. Apparently, it still isn't fully downloaded...

Unfortunately, I cannot at the moment answer whether disabling Gwx has an effect if you have already opted-in for the upgrade. None of the machines I've used the solution on have been entered (as far as I know).

I would try it and see if it works, at the very least it doesn't hurt anything, and can easily be reversed. If it doesn't work, I would try uninstalling KB3035583, then searching for updates and telling that one to be put on the ignore list.

If neither works... don't know.

To reverse the "DisableGwx" solution, save this in a .reg file and run it:

You can force the download by using the media creation tool and selecting upgrade this version, then it'll start updating the win10 build you have

Somebody should tell them nobody wants windows 10 :P

I did the update, what I meant is that it was still downloading by the time I woke up to see the download progress.

The servers were yeah pretty messed up, everyone had to get the update the same day, not wait till it rolls out to them.
