Windows 7 SP1 support notification for Windows 7 Professional

Windows Update

This update is available through Windows Update. If automatic updates are enabled, this update will be downloaded and installed automatically on devices running Windows 7 Professional. For more information about a similar update applicable to other editions of Windows 7, see KB 4493132.

Note for organizations

Devices in managed organizations will not receive notifications. After it is installed, this update will run additional checks and will not show a notification on domain-joined devices, devices in kiosk mode, or devices that previously turned-off free upgrade notifications through registry settings.

Devices that do not meet this criteria will see a notification but can disable future reminders by selecting Do not notify me again in the lower-left corner of the notification, and then close the window. If you are an IT professional, you can set the following registry keys to disable notifications:

Registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx
DWORD name: DisableGwx
Value data: 1

Registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
DWORD name: DisableOSUpgrade
Value data: 1

We do not recommend uninstalling update KB 4524752 as it will be downloaded again the next time the device scans for updates.
