[Windows] Disable and Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications
July 28th, 2009
So you decided to download a pirated copy of Windows XP, and accidently downloaded the Windows Updates- only to witness the below image. You can either buy a valid Windows License, or use my method to remove this naggy Window. You rather use my method? Of course, here’s what you need to do:
- Lauch Windows Task Manager.
- End wgatray.exe process in Task Manager.
- Restart Windows XP in Safe Mode.
- Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32.
- Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32\dllcache.
- Lauch Regedit (Start > Run > “regedit”.
- Browse to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify - Delete the folder ‘WgaLogon’ and all its contents
- Reboot Windows XP.
Moving forward, check what’s in the Windows Update before installing. If you see “WGA Notifications”, uncheck it. You can also buy a legit copy, cheap ass.
