I also removed KB3035583 but the Win 10 icon is still back after a PC restart. I have seen the removal of KB3035583 referred to elsewhere too as being effective, but it is just pure nonsense.

I 1st tried the taskbar notification way, and when that did not work (after PC restart) I did the registry hack. But, after a PC restart this one does not work either.

Thanks Anand… once again, great article. I agree with ReadandShare; I would like to chat with the idiot who decided to push this icon in everyone’s face. Instead or renaming .EXEs, let’s rename Microsoft to Moronsoft. There… isn’t that more appropriate?

In reply to ReadandShare. If you uninstall the update to remove the icon, you can always install the upgrade manually by downloading its setup file, when it is made available. If you rename the file, you will not be informed that the download is ready.
