Now I know that there are several other ways to disable Startups and/or Services - but this seems to me to be the simplist. If you want GE right then, then go to Start > Programs, locate GE and run it. Whenever you do want GE again, run Autoruns and put a check mark in each of the two entries we disabled above and GE will be active the next time you start up. When you do, you will find that GE is not running. Now, if it is convenient to do so, shut down and restart your computer. Click on the box to its left to disable it.

Click on the box to its left and this startup entry will be disabled.Ĭlick on the Services Tab and locate the entry "Garmin Core Update Service". Finally, do a "Shift" "X" to close Autoruns and then immediately reopen Autoruns (which should now have the sizing you just set).Ĭlick on the Logon Tab and look for the entry "GarminExpressTrayApp" which will be found in the "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" section. Then, adjust the column widths so that you can easily see most of what will be in each of the four columns (some of them will be really wide, so it is up to you to strike a balance). Run Autoruns and resize the Autoruns window to suit your preferences. Now, whenever you need GE to run, you can go to your desktop, double click the Autoruns shortcut and enable the two Autoruns entries we are about to disable - assuming, of course, that you have GE installed.

Once you have Autoruns in a directory of your choice, I suggest navigating to that directory and right-clicking on autorunsportable.exe, then selecting "Send To" and then selecting "Desktop (create shortcut)".
Garmin espress download#
However, I think it better to do the actual download fromīecause this will be the easiest way to get Autoruns on your computer by letting the "AutorunsPortable_11.42_English_" unpack Autoruns into your chosen directory.
Garmin espress software#
Click on the first entry it returns to verify that this software is a Microsoft product. Go to the site and then type Autoruns in the search bar (searching only the "" site).
Garmin espress install#
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. 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
