You can just uninstall and hide the corresponding windows update to get rid of it too.

... and this is the reason why they put that shit there now. Why? Because windows 10 has this:

How to turn off Windows 10's keylogger (yes, it still has one) | PCWorld

Thats why all of a sudden you get that annoying box, which they never had with previous new windows releases. I'll never use windows 10.

PS - thanks for the software, gonna use it now.
