How to remove (or acquire) the Windows 10 free copy icon | InfoWorld
So The instructions are simple. Run the cmd windows batch file as administrator. Then there is a disclaimer and if you wish to continue press enter. Then I pressed enter and then enter again. Then I pressed 1 to check, and then I press 2 to use "quick method #1". For me it worked after that. it put the app on the bottom right next to my network icon. after that i reserved windows 10.
Again IT worked for me although I'm not so sure if it will work for you guys. The only required update for windows 10 I have is kb3035583.
Thanks for your help guys.
Thanks man, after hunting the whole internet and trying several methods, this batch file did it! I can finally see the notification icon on the tray
I would recommend anyone who has KB3035583 installed to use this method (if not, follow below).
Although there were some other problems that I first needed to fix. If anyone runs into the same problem can try this:
1. To know whether you have KB3035583 update installed or not, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed updates > Click "Name" to sort by name > Look for "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3035583)"
2. If you don't have the update there, try searching for on Windows Update. If it fails to install every time you try (as it did in mine), do this:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Right click "Windows Update" and click "Stop"
3. Now, delete everything inside these folders:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
If you don't have Windows installed inside C:\ ,replace it with wherever it is.
4. Now turn on Windows Update service again by going to:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Right click "Windows Update" and click "Start"
5. Try searching for updates in Windows Update and you should be able to download KB3035583 and other recommended files.
6. Once done, download this file:

7. Extract the file to desktop, and run it as administrator by right-clicking on it.
8. You'll be offered with four options, try each of them sequentially until you get the Windows 10 mini icon on your system tray.
