Gwxux no longer works - what to do?

Gwxux is an executable file that comes from Microsoft. This is used to download Windows 10 and has also been added to Windows 7 and 8 via an update. If there is an error in the file, you can fix it or disable the tool.

What to do if Gwxux stops working

The Gwxux executable file comes from Microsoft, so it is not dangerous for your PC. However, if there is an error, this can lead to constant error messages. Therefore, you should fix the problem directly.

1. If you want to repair the Gwxux.exe, first press the Windows key and R to open the "Run" command.
2. Enter "Cmd" in the box and press Enter to open the console of Windows.
3. After that, enter the command "sfc/scannow" in the console to check your system for errors and problems.
4. If there is an error in the Gwxux file, this command will usually fix it.
5. Once the process is complete, you can close the console and the error will not be displayed again.

If you want to disable the file instead because you do not want the update to Windows 10, then more effort is required. Da es keine Unterstützung für ältere Betriebssysteme mehr gibt, ist ein Upgrade auf Windows 10 jedoch sinnvoll.
