Disable GWX Windows 10 Upgrade Prompt

There is no user friendly way disable the annoying task bar icon that prompts you to "reserve" a free upgrade to Windows 10. You can however get rid of it by adding a registry key under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX

The key you are adding should be a DWORD named DisableGWX and it's vale should be set to 1.
