No "Get Windows 10" icon

JamesAB · Jul 24, 2015

Hello everyone,

I am quite excited about the upcoming windows 10. My wife and I have two desktop PCs and a Laptop between us. The Desktops operate W7 Home Premium and the Laptop W7 Professional. All are properly licensed copies of their respective operating systems and all have SP 1 and all necessary updates.

Only the laptop has the "Get Windows 10" icon.

I have read all I can about getting the icon for the desktops but have had no success. The "GetWindows10.cmd" script, given elsewhere in this section of the forum, goes into a closed loop when run.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi, Jim.

In addition to the KB article referenced by Jared, I remembered your post when I saw this article at The Windows Club: Get Windows 10 app icon is missing or not showing in taskbar.

Hi Jared, Thank you for your reply.

The link you gave was the one that I referred to and I did run the script "ReserveWin10.cmd" After running for some time this script indicated "Success" but I have still not received the W10 icon (or if I have it is hidden somewhere!) i am not sure but it maybe that it will appear on July 30th. but as my system seems to fit all the requirements, I can't see why i haven't got it! I guess all will be revealed in due course.

Thanks again.

Jim

Hi, Jim.

I also found a fairly long topic with an update provided by Susan Bradley (trusted) and an additional update provided by Barb Bowman (trusted) for non-English language systems. See I want to reserve my free copy of Windows 10, but I don’t see - Microsoft Community.

Thanks again, Corrine. I have just uninstalled KB3035583 with a view to re-installing it as it appears that this could solve the problem. Unfortunately Windows Update is not signaling that I no longer have the update so I am looking to reinstall it manually.

regards,

Jim

This is fun! Having verified that I have uninstalled KB3035583, when I try to re-install it I get the message "The update is not applicable to your computer!" Oh Joy!

It gets better: I found an alternative way to reinstall KB3035583: A way to download KB3035583? Solved - Page 2 - Windows 7 Help Forums and, lo and behold, the "Get Windows 10 icon now safely resides on my taskbar!

Kind Regards

Jim

PS now to do the same on my wife's PC (I hope)

Good job, Jim!

If anyone wants this for future reference there is also a blog post on Sysnative about it - "Get Windows 10" Icon Missing - Issues reserving Windows 10

Just thought I'd post it here so anyone that wants to refer back to it can
