When the next upgrade comes along, if you want to use the Assistant again, you’ll download and install another one, anyway.Upgrade Assistant is a free download that scans your PC, desktop apps, and connected devices to see if they'll work with a later version of Windows, and then provides a free compatibility report. Personally, I think uninstalling is your best bet (it’s safest and easiest, too). For those details, see Step 4 in this story from TheWindowsClub. That’s handled in File Explorer, where you’ll reset its “Read & execute” security properties. Or, remove execution permission on the program ( Windows10UpgraderApp.exe in the Windows10Upgrade folder) for all users. Manually deleting the folder and its contents will do the trick (don’t forget the desktop shortcut, either). Other removal methods make the Update Assistant program unable to run through various means. Alternatively, if you prefer to use a third-party uninstaller (I’m a fan of Revo Uninstaller myself) you can use something like it instead to bid adieu to the Update Assistant. It will also remove the shortcut to the program that it leaves on your desktop, too. Select that option, and the uninstall program will remove the Windows10Upgrade folder and its contents at the same time it gets rid of the Update Assistant program itself. Right-click the program name, and “Uninstall” appears as an option.
Visit Control Panel → Programs and Features, where it shows up in the list of installed programs. The easiest way to make this go away is to simply uninstall the Windows 10 Update Assistant. Performing the Post Upgrade Windows 10 Update Assistant Cleanup There’s really no reason for this (you’ll have to download a new one for the next upgrade anyway), so clean-up is a good idea. As soon as you give the go-ahead, the Update Assistant sets up a root-level directory on the C: drive and gets to work.Įven though they’re no longer needed, the Windows10Upgrade folder and its contents stick around afterward.
