I have an unwanted "software update checker" appearing automatically every time I start the system. I do not want to be reminded that I can download unwanted program updates (a new free 30 day trial etc) every time again. How do I delete this?
I would however like do execute this check from time to time.
Please note:
Thread moved from Operating Systems to Windows Software.
In the Settings option (or something similar) of that "software update checker" program, there must be the option to disable the program startup at system startup (most programs have such option). Disable it from there and then it will not come when you start your system.
If you do not want it to remind about any updates and you want it to be done manually, again.. in Settings... there must be some option to disable automatic check and/or enable manual update check. So that the program will not popup anytime and you can use it only when you need.
All such configuration options are there (and must be there) in such programs.
If you really don't require the software update checker that keeps on appearing unnecessarily and want to delete it,
go to the C drive -- open program files -- find the software update checker -- search the installation file -- uninstall it and remove the entire folder
