GWX Stopper is a lightweight utility designed to disable GWX (Get Windows X) scheduling tasks on Windows 7/8/8.1 systems. It prevents the execution of GWX-related processes, thereby stopping intrusive Windows 10 promotional ads and forced upgrades.

Key Features:

  • Blocks GWX Execution: Prevents GWX.EXE from running, eliminating unwanted advertisements.
  • No Resource Monitoring: Operates without real-time monitoring, conserving system resources.
  • Removes Background Tasks: Disables scheduled tasks that trigger GWX activities.
  • Protects Against Forced Upgrades: Sets policies to block automatic OS upgrades.
  • Lightweight and Efficient: Runs with minimal impact on system performance.
  • Easy Installation: Available for installation via winget.
