george27:
I ran this your batch file

Echo off

taskkill.exe /F /IM "gwx.exe"
takeown /f "%windir%\System32\GWX" && icacls "%windir%\System32\GWX" /grant administrators:F
ren "%windir%\System32\GWX\" "GWX_Old"

exit

It kills gwx.exe but doesn't rename to GWX_Old. I am the admin and have full rights. Manually rename should be fine?

Julian:
did you download the batch file or create one on your computer with the script? Windows likes to block batch files from other computers    :smiley:
If you downloaded the batch file right click go to properties under the general tab click unblock see what that does for you. or you can copy

Echo off

taskkill.exe /F /IM "gwx.exe"
takeown /f "%windir%\System32\GWX" && icacls "%windir%\System32\GWX" /grant administrators:F
ren "%windir%\System32\GWX\" "GWX_Old"

exit

then open notepad.exe paste save as remove10nag.bat

let me know what that does for you.

george27:
I created the bat file myself, tried it again and still a no go.

Julian:
okay I revamped the command a little bit.... looks like ren messed up and Could not find the path.  been awhile since I used these commands but copy paste to remove and ill paste a fix to bring it back

copy paste into a wordpad save as .bat

Echo off

taskkill.exe /F /IM "gwx.exe"
takeown /f "%windir%\System32\GWX" && icacls "%windir%\System32\GWX" /grant administrators:F
robocopy "%windir%\System32\GWX" "%windir%\System32\GWX_Old" /E
rmdir /s /q "%windir%\System32\GWX"

exit


To bring it back

robocopy "%windir%\System32\GWX_Old" "%windir%\System32\GWX" /E
rmdir /s /q "%windir%\System32\GWX_Old"
%windir%\system32\GWX\GWX.exe /tasklaunch

now lets see if that did it :D
