Thank you kindly :3
For some reason I had 2 copies (and 2 updates I had to hide) of the file in question, but after the second one it worked.
Thank you so much for sharing this :3

  No problem. The GWX.exe was such an annoying "feature." I'd rather everyone know how to get rid of it <3.

I beat you to the punch with this one. xP One person had problems doing these steps once though.
