Autoruns is "portable" software meaning that it does not require an "install" to the registry, but rather runs from whatever directory in which you simply place it.įor those of you who may be a tad reluctant to install something non-standard and, to me even better, free, I offer this reassurance. This is a package by SysInternals which has become a part of Microsoft. The way I solved that problem - and the way to solve the fact that GE is always running - was with Autoruns.
MANUALLY UNINSTALL GARMIN EXPRESS UPDATE
What I found out a few years back was that Intuit (the maker of TurboTax had installed a "Service" that periodically "Helps Intuit applications automatically update themselves." Why, I asked myself, would I want to be updating something that I was through with? We all file our returns by April 15th and then are through (hopefully) until the following year - when I must purchase a brand new version of TurboTax, different from the package I just used. I use TurboTax to prepare taxes for myself and other family members. You might find another example of mine interesting. I personally like to control what runs at Startup and keep to a minimum Services that I do not currently need (and which are always stealing cycles from my computer). The other relates to the Garmin Core Update Service which is a "Service" that periodically checks to see if there are updates to GE itself. One relates to the GarminExpressTrayApp which causes GE to load upon Startup and be available in the System Tray. There are two entries that GE makes in the registry that need to be disabled. One can just disable GE from starting up and "enable" it only when needed. However, uninstalling GE and then installing it again 4 months later is not really necessary. The fact that it is always running (with no options given by Garmin to change this) has caused several member to uninstall GE.
That is a valid complaint and Garmin concedes that it makes several entries into the registry to ensure that GE is always there at the ready, so to speak. A consistent complaint about Garmin Express (GE) is that it is always running and slows down Startup times - BUT, for the most part, one only needs GE when new maps or firmware are available
