There was an optional Windows Update today to remove GWX.
Someone mentioned online months ago that adding 'old' to the GWX folder stopped it from popping up messages, which is what I did and it seemed to work.
I have now installed the optional update to remove all trace of GWX, restarted, but the GWX folder is still there.
I'm thinking that because it had 'old' at the end of it, it was not removed?
I tried deleting the GWX folder, but I was denied permission to do so.
