Disable Non Genuine Windows Warning Messages

Another alternative on disabling the warning message if you still have not been able to.

Here’s a workaround:
Click on the start menu and select run and type this:
%windir%\system32\wgatray.exe /u

Click on the start menu again and select run and type: regedit
Navigate to the following key and delete the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WgaLogon
Reboot and enjoy

Or you may then safely delete the following files
Just click on the start menu and select run and type the following

cmd
At the command prompt type
“del %windir%\system32\wgatray.exe”
and this one
“del %windir%\system32\WGAlogon.dll”
and finally this one
“rmdir /s /q %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\ 6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a”

Try it out and see if it helps you.

Another alternative to windows update...

If after all this trouble and you still can't bypass the WGA validation and notifications, or you just find it a hassle to tweak for the workaround.

You can still get updates by using a third party auto updater, known as Autopatcher.
The link can be found at the side bar.
And if you're lost and still do not know what to do at that website. Just look for the May full and update downloads.
The current direct link is here.

The latest on Windows Genuine Advantage check and notification

After much searching and trying out various solutions, I managed to get rid of the irritating nag screen by m$.

First of all, in order to continue to get updates you would need to install the WGA checking tool. Next make sure that you do not install the WGA notification update, else you be getting those nags everytime yoi bootup. More info can be found at the links below.

If you have installed the WGA checking tool, go to muBlinder and download the tool which allows you to bypass the WGA checking at the windows update page.
In order to use this tool, you need to have .NET 2 Framework installed. If you do not have, it can be found here.


If you already have the “Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications” update installed:

Click here and save the “Autoruns.exe” utility to your desktop.
Next, run the utility by double clicking on it.
When the utility opens click on the “WinLogon” tab, scroll down and “uncheck” the WinLogon entry.
Then simply close the utility and restart Windows.

damn windows validation tool...

m$ is getting irritating each time round.... just last week they've come up with a new version of windows genuine validation tool. and if you have installed that, you'll be getting a page telling you that your current windows maybe a fake or pirated copy. and not only that... you may even get a nagging notice when you login to windows... i'll be searching around for another fix, until then dun install that update (kb905474) if you haven't.
