How to disable Windows 10 Upgrade

Problem:

Windows 10 trying to force upgrade. System and software may not be compatible with Windows 10.

Cause:

Windows 10 logo appears in bottom right corner of the screen. Messages now state that machine is on a countdown to automatically update.

Solution

Download the attached zip file, and unzip batch file to your desktop. Right click file and select ‘Run as Administrator’, the machine will now restart  This will remove the notification and block the associated windows update.

NB: If the upgrade has already started then this solution may fail. If the upgrade fails then it should revert back. If the upgrade goes through then you will need to revert system back.
