How to stop the Google Update background tool?
- by Dimitri C.
On my Windows Vista PC, there is always an instance of "GoogleUpdate.exe" running. I find this annoying, so I'd like to make sure it doesn't start automatically. This proves to be not so easy, as I have tried these solutions:
I disabled the "Google updateservice" service
I removed the registry section "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Google Update"
None of these worked. The registry section is simply re-added.
Does anyone know the trick to avoid GoogleUpdate.exe to be started after booting the system?
