GWX Control Panel is a free program that allows you to configure and disable the system icon "Get Windows 10" appearing in the taskbar on computers with Windows 7 or Windows 8. It is worth mentioning that the application was previously available under the name GWX Stopper. However, you should not be afraid that after using the key function of GWX Control Panel, i.e.

removing the information about the possibility of downloading Windows 10, we will not be able to install a new version of "windows", if we decide to do so. The program allows you to restore the "Get Windows 10" icon, so we will easily upgrade Windows 7 or Windows 8 to the "ten". GWX Control Panel, unlike many other tools of this type, which, for example, remove the "Get Windows 10" icon only temporarily (it appears again after restarting the computer), removes it permanently in a safe way.

Some applications interfere with Windows Update and may deprive the user of the ability to install updates to Windows 7 or Windows 8. Many users should also appreciate the fact that GWX Control Panel is available as a stand-alone executable file and does not require installation.
