I'm looking for a tool for Windows 10 that was a script that blocked all of the annoying upgrade to windows 10 nags and altered the host file automatically.
I seem to remember it being hosted on a site that looked similar to reddit, but I can't remember the name. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

tool for Windows 7**
My bad.
I think its GWX control panel

That seems like a good tool but it's not the one I was looking for.

Sure, It's called install gentoo
Why would a script for Windows 10 block upgrades to Windows 10? You probably mean a script for prior Windows 10 versions.

I'm unsure how any of these will work with future rollup updates. I myself personally have myself installed GWX. Microsoft said Windows 7 would be supported until 2020. If their idea of support is upgrading to Windows 10, they may kindly refund the money I used to purchase 7 in the class action lawsuit.
OP here
I found the script. It seems that the author has abandoned support on it due to reasons. If anyone else is thinking about using this for win7 or 8/8.1 just know that there are probably better solutions by now if you look hard enough, but I used this script 6 months ago and found it to be really comprehensive and a final solution to stopping the win7 nag.

There's Spybot anti-beacon now.
Just install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB instead of messing about with a bunch of third party scripts.
