I didn't understand what "it" refers to in "UNLESS, one selects it, right clicks and chooses to Hide it." I thought
"it" must refer to the Get Win 10 icon but right clicking that icon in the task bar does not offer a "hide me" option.
No, in context of the post, we are still in Windows Update, where the Win10 upgrade nag thingie one just uninstalled is
showing up, trying to get re-installed. Right click the line for that update to hide it. Then it no longer shows up as
an "Important Update". It may be unhidden if one changes one's mind later.
Maybe the same thing but my solution is to left click on the small triangle that represents the set of hidden icons on
the taskbar. Then at the bottom of that little window left click on "Customize..." That will bring up a window which
shows a column of all the icons on the taskbar along with a second column of selectable "Behaviors".
Look for the icon labeled "GWX" which is the "Get Windows 10" icon. Click on the Behaviors menu item next to it and
select "Hide icon and notifications". That will move the GWX icon into the set of hidden icons and also turn off any
nagging notifications the app might produce.
It does not, however, stop it from automatically downloading the upgrade, and probably not from then asking you to to
install it. The above really kills it.
