So I have the GW10 icon in my notification area icons menu, where I can select from the drop down menu one of three options. When selecting the "show icon and notifications" option, I get a response stating that this icon is not active. How do I get it to become active so that I may register to DL windows 10?

    This is normal. It will return eventually. Microsoft is doing a phase roll out of Windows 10. If you cant wait use the Media Creation Tool and use that to upgrade your installation. – Ramhound Jul 30 '15 at 20:24

Try this:

  1. Open the Notepad

  2. Copy the following text and paste into the notepad

REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeExperienceIndicators" /v UpgEx | findstr UpgEx if "%errorlevel%" == "0" GOTO RunGWX reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Appraiser" /v UtcOnetimeSend /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f schtasks /run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" :CompatCheckRunning schtasks /query /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" schtasks /query /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" | findstr Ready if NOT "%errorlevel%" == "0" ping localhost >nul &goto :CompatCheckRunning :RunGWX schtasks /run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Setup\gwx\refreshgwxconfig"

  1. Save it as ‘ReserveWindows10.cmd’ to a directory called temp or whatever you like in C drive.

  2. Run the file by opening command prompt as administrator

  3. Once your PC is compatible, you’ll see success message at the end and a schedule task will start to open the app...

If this does NOT work, try this: Download this Batch File: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yhs9s3rd7smsqi0/win10fix_full.zip Then run it as Administrator. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK! THIS WILL CHANGE REGISTRY FILES AND SETTINGS!!

    This isn't going to work for the user. I should know, my icon disappeared, and I run that exact command. You are just rehashing the same information that has been shared in an existing question anyways. – Ramhound Jul 30 '15 at 21:13
