Any way to permanently disable autostarting tray program?

Recommended Posts

I've recently installed the current beta of ASC 5, and am overall pleased with it, but it comes with a major irritation: running the program automatically enables "Advanced SystemCare 5 Tray" that loads on computer startup, and if I disable it via Msconfig, it just gets re-enabled when I use ASC again. This is unacceptable to me, for I don't allow any autoloading trays or junk like that on my machine. Before the final version is released, can this be configured so I can disable the tray icon permanently? Thanks for your consideration.

Hi AnthonyM1229, welcome to IObit Forum! :grin:

 

ASC5 main GUI=>click More=>click Settings=>click General Settings=>General section=>untick checkbox of "Load automatically at Windows startup"=>click Apply button=>click OK button

 

This way ASC5 will not start with Windows unless you start it.

 

Please have a look at Clean Install by solbjerg or Clean install by wozofoz.

 

Cheers.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I definitely made sure to look for such a setting and disable it, the first time I ran the program. In fact, just now, I opened the program to double-check, and that setting was already unchecked. But, right after I closed the program, I checked MSConfig, and sure enough, that stupid ASC Tray had re-enabled itself. It's like, just opening ASC triggers it. If I have to attempt some stronger measures such as finding the corresponding Registry key and denying the program access to it, I will, but I really shouldn't have to.

hi Anthony

Have you tried toggling the setting?

I am not sure if you need to at least log out and log back in to get msconfig to change. I would think so.

 

or you can go to Windows Start type if I recall correctly msconfig.msc to bring up the Windows GUI and remove ASC from the Startup list that way. I haven't try that but it should work.

I've solved my problem by blocking access to the Registry key where startup entries get added--I don't know why I never thought of that sooner...now no program at all should be able to add their autoloading junk, haha :)

 

But still, my issue with ASC was annoying...before applying my registry change, I did toggle the setting, and I sure had restarted after my MSConfig change. The first night I ran the program, I disabled the setting, and then a few days later, the next time I restarted after using the program again, I was shocked to see that tray icon loading on startup, and the corresponding MSConfig entry re-added. I don't know why it would do that.
