there may be another reason for the slow down, I signed up for a free upgrade to windows 10, and I have not noticed any slowdown whatsoever on my computer, or any program or app, it doesn't seem to have any effect here.

Ditto.

Kevinwal, thanks.

On Windows 7 Pro, it appears to be update KB3035583 that is the problem.

I'm windows 7 and I don't have that update.

Consider yourself lucky! You might want to watch out for it. If you don't mark it for updating, it won't install.

Wooops. I misspoke. I do have that update. And I have no problems with using mt space bar to start or stop a SONAR project.

Thanks. I see it on my Win Home Premium install and it is indeed in the Optional Updates section so I'm good here.
 
Seriously thank you for that. I was kind of wondering why I wasn't seeing it since everyone else is but I also did not want to be nagged about it all the time. I want to try Win10 but I actually don't want to use the "upgrade" method if at all possible. I would rather use my license, get the full program and then do a clean install. Not sure if that is even possible and I have yet to research it (but will).
 
Cheers.

Grum,
 
I'm talking about what the thread title says.
 
It's a little icon that, when clicked, takes you to a page about upgrading to Windows 10.
 
I'd love to know how to get rid of it.

I'll try again. Why do you think you have to wait a year for Windows 10?

I read up on that upgrade program. It is available July 29 and will be ready to run on that date. It also said that the required files would be placed on your computer before that time so it's ready for the 29th. No idea how much space I need to reserve or when things will be installed.
