franzon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 How to prevent Microsoft Sync Center from running? This damn process mobsync.exe is executed without my will and it remains active for hours and hours, forever, until I shut down my PC!! :angry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872762-how-to-prevent-microsoft-sync-center-from-running/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skulltrail Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Disable it from startup process and disable its service: Start Run (type in run if in Vista/7 and press ENTER) Type in "msconfig" (no quotes) Under the Startup tab, remove "mobsync.exe" (uncheck it) [This will prevent it from loading at start up] Under the Services tab, uncheck any service that sounds like it involves mobsync; look for something like Microsoft Sync Center or Synchronization Finally, restart your computer.
