হ্যালো children of the Internet। আপনি যেন ভালোভাবে মনে করছেন, ২০১৫-এর মাঝপথে, মাইক্রোসফ্ট ফ্রি আপগ্রেড অফার করা শুরু করলো উইন্ডোজ ১০ eligible Windows 7 and 8.1 users-র জন্য একটি system tray utility GWX নামে। So far so good।
যাইহোক, এই টুলের সাথে এক বড় issue ছিল যে আপনি really defer বা reject করতে পারেন না upgrades। User freedom and choice-এর অভাব আমাকে তত বিরক্ত করলো যে আমি একটি thorough, angry guide লিখলাম কীভাবে এটি দূর করতে হয়, এর folders and files-র ownership and permissions পরিবর্তন করে। তারপর, not that long ago, several readers emailed me, telling me my method was failing। Worried and alarmed, I set about testing and verifying। Hence this article।
Wait, so you can no longer change it?
Slow down, relax। Let us check the claims। Indeed, after hearing that users were unable to assume ownership of the GWX objects, I figured that perhaps the KB3035583 update may have somehow changed। To wit, I decided to sacrifice yet another of my Windows 7 test laptops for this exercise।
Shortly after installing the update, I had the GWX icon in my system area। It was offering Windows 10, and just like before, there was no option to actually make this popup sleep for a few weeks or months, or completely reject it। Some neutering is required।
আপনি যদি first article পড়েছেন—এবং আপনার উচিত—তাহলে আপনি জানেন first task হচ্ছে GWX folder-র ownership assume করা। তারপর আমি ভাবলাম, wait, maybe some people were trying to accomplish this task while gwx.exe was still running, and thus maybe failing?
তাহলে, আপনার VERY first task is to start the Task Manager and kill the GWX executable। তারপর, আপনার একটি file explorer খুলুন, Windows folder-এ navigate করুন, GWX folder locate করুন, right click, Properties। আপনি বাকি জানেন। Please read the first tutorial।
Second time around, I had no problem with any one of my steps। আমি ownership and permissions change করতে পারলাম এবং subsequently folder rename করলাম, GWX কে null and void করে দিয়ে। Whatever had changed in KB3035583 does not affect your basic ability to manipulate Windows।
This probably means that the concerned readers who had contacted me probably tried to work with the GWX folder while the executable was still running, or they may have other, administrative issues with their setup। But then, maybe this extra bit of information can help you safely and successfully complete the procedure on your system।
Future steps & additional reading
আমরা এখনো fully done নই। আগাম সপ্তাহগুলোতে, এই টপিকের ওপর কয়েকটি আরও rather interesting articles থাকবে। প্রথম, আমি আপনাকে yet another cushty little tool দেখাব GWX দূর করার জন্য। এটি particularly useful for people who are not comfortable working with the registry, tweaking the system and such। দ্বিতীয় আর্টিকেলটি address করবে an even more amazing and useful feature in Windows, which lets you control GWX, but also pretty much any other program।Meanwhile, you might want to check these articles:

উপসংহার
সেটা হলো। কিছু ৮-৯ মাস এখন আমার original guide লিখার পর, এটি এখনো valid and accurate। আপনি safely assume ownership করতে পারেন GWX folder and files-র এবং changes করতে পারেন as you see fit। এখন, আপনি KB3035583 uninstall করতে পারেন, কিন্তু that's a different story। This article is all about user choice।
Whether Windows 10 works is irrelevant। There should be a way for loyal users to decline offers, their zero price tag notwithstanding। It comes down to respecting the people using their computers। As simple as that। Alas, big corporations often like to complicate things, but at least you know there's an easy way out। Stay tuned for updates।
চেয়ার্স।
