After removing the get windows 10 prompt from his system tray the CPU usage has dropped back down to normal.
Trust me this system has nothing extra to spare at all. In case anybody is interested for your reading and relaxing pleasure he says in jest: Removing KB3035583 To remove KB3035583, first open Windows Update and click "Installed Updates" in the bottom-left corner. To quickly find KB3035583, you can sort by name. Once you've located it, right-click and choose "Uninstall". When you select to uninstall this update, you'll be asked to confirm and then you will need to restart your computer. Once your computer restarts, the "GWX.exe" and its associated "GWXUX.exe" applications will be removed and the system tray icon and resulting dialog will go away permanently. If the Icon Returns Some readers have noted that KB3035583 returns if you don't hide it. If you have Windows updates set to download and install automatically, this means that if you uninstall this update, it will be reinstalled automatically a few days later. To hide the KB3035583 update and prevent it from being reinstalled, right-click on it in the Windows Update application and select "Hide update". After, the update's selection box will be grayed out and cannot be checked. >From hereon, the update will be hidden whenever you reopen Windows Update unless you decide to restore it. Icon Still Won't Go Away? There's also a registry hack that you can use to prevent the icon from showing up. Open up regedit.exe using the Start search or by hitting WIN + R and pasting it into the field. Then browse down to the following key, creating it if it doesn't exist: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx Once you are there, create a new 32-bit DWORD value on the right-hand side named DisableGwx, and give it a value of 1.

I mention this since I have a system here from a guy next door and he says for the past week more or less processor usage keeps hitting 100% with nothing running. I have removed a junk yard of temp files and worthless programs off the system but processor usage still peeks out once in a while. Honestly I have never seen disk cleanup remove 16.7 GB of for the lack of a better term trash. I also removed 39 programs from the system he no longer needs. So any thoughts on the matter boys and girls. David Ferrin A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly.
