How to remove "Download Windows 10" icon on Windows 7 System Tray ("official adware")? [duplicate]

windows windows-update notification-area

I managed to solve it (getting rid of the system tray icon) by renaming the folder from:

C:\Windows\system32\GWX

to:

C:\Windows\system32\MicrosoftYouShadyBastards

and rebooting. Which seems to work fine, Process Hacker doesn't show anything wierd running.
