Are you tired of Windows Update constantly harassing you to upgrade to Windows 11?
Does your PC have a Gigabyte motherboard, specifically a B450M-DS3H?
You are in luck. You may be able to simply go into the BIOS and disable Trusted Computing, also known as Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0). It worked for me. No more being harassed to update to Windows 11. When I am ready to upgrade, I can simply go into the BIOS and re-enable Trusted Computing.
