Re: Can You Install Windows Xp On A Windows 7 Computer
Julio Cesar Thap
I've got Windows 10 Pro. I'm currently at release 2004 (OS Build 19041.508). Some months back, my machine was really screwed up when the upgrade to Windows 10 came along. I got one of those "Let's finish setting up your device" messages, which I did. At that point, it corrupted all the profiles on my Windows 10 system. I vowed to NEVER again run that!
So, how do I stop this useless message popping up over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, without totally corrupting all of the Windows profiles on my machine? This irritating message is the equivalent of that irritating UAC popup that Windows Vista plagued everyone with.
@Kapil Arya will turning off that setting mean that I'll no longer get any notifications about necessary updates to Windows, or when the fall release of Windows 10 is available to be installed on my PC?
Hello @AshleyCizman,
Can you share us the screenshot of the screen where the computer is currently? Also, what exactly happens when you start machine, do you see the boot screen and then login screen?
Look...the problem here is that Microsoft is getting more and more intrusive. Because they can get away with it unless we're willing to go to IOS or Linux or Chrome OS. It's having to wait 15 minutes to use my office laptop when I open up in the morning when Microsoft has decided to run it's required updates...and I'm standing like a dork in front of co-workers are waiting for my presentation.
Now it's this "Finish Setting up Your Device" blue screen...on a device that I've been running for years...because Microsoft just won't quit trying to sell me Office 365 that I don't want, or using "One Cloud" that I don't want...and pushing other stuff that if I wanted it...I would already have it. So now we have this blue screen that we can't get rid of without agreeing to be reminded again in three days or hitting "continue" and going through all the screens and telling Microsoft I don't want it. How's about giving us a "No Thanks" button with a "Don't Send This Again" checkbox.
But no...if we have an early version of Wiindows 10...we can't get rid of this pop-up blue screen without spending our time going into the registry for who knows how long it will take...to MAYBE get rid of this pop-up blue screen.
It makes me long for the days of Windows 7. Hell...it makes me long for the days of XP.
We bought this gear with your operating system on it. How's about you just leave us the _______ alone and let us use it.
I'm sure a bunch of us here are working in education/public service/etc. We use Faronics Deep Freeze at a few of my sites and have used things like Clean Slate, Centurion Guard (with and without hardware keys), and even Steady State back in the XP days.
Deep Freeze works fine with the public Win10 computers but you need to set them correctly with group policies and if you have upwards of 200 PCs then you'd be crazy NOT to be using WSUS along with GPOs tailored to those frozen PCs. Using WSUS, Faronics, and proper GPOs on the frozen machines we haven't had any problems with these post-feature update screens because we are approving the updates from WSUS anyway (as one should in a production environment) and can easily tell when the screens might appear.
It's all the OTHER random machines that are annoying (home, small sites, etc), because these screens would often cause the PC in question to not even load startup programs and some services.
It's gotten less bad with newer versions and if you have that many PCs, you should have an AD infrastructure in place already where this shouldn't be an issue. Check your WSUS and other GPO settings, especially the ones tailored to your frozen machines.
I know it's not your decision but that doesn't seem very smart. With the discounts available to non-profits via TechSoup and other places, there is no reason not to have everything in AD where you can manage it more easily, especially when you are up over 100+ PCs.
If it's anything like here, the public machines can all have one (automatic) logon via GPO so you would potentially only be paying for 1 User CAL via TechSoup (or whoever). That works out to $4 to manage all your AD-joined public PCs if they are using the same login.
Of course if you have more than 50 devices AND more than 50 users that need to be licensed with CALs for accessing Windows Server devices....TechSoup may not have a cheap off-the-shelf answer. But at that point you can (and probably should) be in touch with an MS rep to figure something out. Their pricing is still usually very kind to non-profits.

Windows is the most popular desktop operating system in the world, with a 70% market share as of March 2023[update], according to StatCounter.[13] However, Windows is not the most used operating system when including both mobile and desktop OSes, due to Android's massive growth.[14]
As of 2024[update], the most recent version of Windows is Windows 11 for consumer PCs and tablets, Windows 11 Enterprise for corporations, and Windows Server 2022 for servers. Still supported are some editions of Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 and later (and exceptionally with paid support down to Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded POSReady 7).
As of 2024,[update] the only active top-level family is Windows NT. The first version, Windows NT 3.1, was intended for server computing and corporate workstations. It grew into a product line of its own and now consists of four sub-families that tend to be released almost simultaneously and share the same kernel.
