Anna: I don't know the answer to your question.
Perhaps others on list might be of better assistance than I can be, since my experience is based only on Windows 7.

[JAWS-Users] Instructions For Getting Rid Of "Get Windows 10" message Hello. I received permission to post the following set of instructions for getting rid of the "get Windows 10" message from a member of the JFW support list. Specifically, the instructions come from Adrian Spratt, and seem very easy to follow: 1. Begin by typing "Command Prompt" in the Win7 search window. Wait a moment for JAWS to settle. Maybe arrow down once and up arrow once to ensure focus is on that prompt. But don't do any more arrowing than that. 2. Now, use your applications key, and arrow down to "run as administrator." On my system, it's three times. Press enter. 3. Run the command prompt window with Win key-r. 4. Type or copy: WUSA /UNINSTALL /KB:3035583 5. Follow the on-screen prompts, and when complete type exit to close Command Prompt. That should stop the Win10 notification from appearing until the next Windows automatic update. It will also put the nasty file in your critical or important updates when you commence the second stage, aimed at ensuring the file is not included in the next automatic update. To hide Windows Updates from installing it again: Go to Windows Update via Windows search and press enter. Tab to "Change settings" and press enter. Check the third item down, something to the effect of "Do it myself." Tab to OK. Tab to something like "Critical or important update available" and press enter. If the file is there, right-click and down arrow to hide. Press enter, then OK. Tab back to "Change settings." Select "Automatic." Tab to OK. Alt-F4 out of the dialog.
