Still having trouble with your new system?

Does the GWX control panel monitor still perform its function of preventing Win 7 being upgraded to Win 10 or is it obsolete now?

Although no Windows updates show in that window I think Microsoft was trying to force my Win 7 to go out so I would have to update to Win 10. Luckily I have a Recovery partition that I ran to recover my Win 7 and boot to desktop ability.

I've scanned for problems with more than one anti-virus malware program and I'm clean, but occasionally I'll have to boot more than once to get in. I think Microsoft is trying to throw a monkey wrench into Win 7 computers that are plugged in. Before this began I backed up to portable Hard Drives so I have duplicate files of my important things.

Time has come to completely disconnect from the internet with my Win 7 computers and buy a cheap something for internet access.

MS started to throw plenty of other garbage at W7 already long time ago, GWX now is obsolete, I think. W7 is succesfully messed up.

You are right in a way, this is high time to disconnect WINDOWS from the internet. Use a Linux-based system for everything you do. Use a physically disconnected second system for your Windows-based gaming/simming - AND NOTHING MORE.

Windows 7 is no longer a safe haven from getting "telemetridized", but is a technical mess with plenty of very seriously bugged patches destroying it since over a year, and resistence to Microsoft is completely corrupted ." Imperial troops have entered the base... Imperial troops have ent..."

MS has no more busines sinterest in Windows anyway, lets face it. It cost them money, but does not generate income they wanted. Its a data collector that sells you, the owner, as the product. The real business of MS now lies somewhere else, in the cloud and swerver market. Windows as an Os is just a burden for MS. Thats why you can wait for all eternity for MS getting their homework done. In fact they are deconstructing their personell infrastructure to support it competently - and do so since two years, no, longer.

It will not get better, guys. It will just go from bad to worse, from worse to worst. Windows dies hard, but it dies. MS does not want it anymore, other than just a data collector.
