Question

I get this in my history every time I go on the internet. Does anyone know what it is?

Answer 1

Okay... so, anyone.... anyone...  what does this website mean?  Is it a cryptic site where only 2 people can reply?  I personally think there is an affair going on between two people I know that isn't being shared because NOBODY knows what the **** this site is!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I get this too and don't know why,  if you figure it out, let me know and I'll do the same.

I am responding to this thread for a number of reasons as follows:

1.--I have the same question.

2.--RichardofYork asked a simple question which warrants a simple answer.

3.--It seems fairly clear that Microsoft put this on his/my computer without our knowledge

and it would be fair to say that this reflects Microsoft's attitude to its customers.

4.--Microsoft should therefore provide a proper answer!

5.--In the URL the term "gwx" is a clue, it stands for "get Windows Ten (X)" which seems to be currently

promoted by Microsoft.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Hello Niranjan

Thanks for the information.Not really what I was asking for, but thanks anyway.

My question was what the title of my posting means:

https://wscont.apps.microsoft.com/winstore/OSUpgradeNotification/gwx/prod/Prod0c97a309cc55-09252015.html?trgr=MachineUnlock-5d

What is it, and why does it appear every time I open Internet Explorer? It's not a page I have visited, so why is it there?

Regards, Richard
