Marcum Start Ups Keep Returning

I've been working to reduce my list of start up apps when Windows first boots up, but Marcum Reflect is a tricky one.

The thing is...I HAVE got this to not auto run at startup, removing it from places like msconfig, disabling in services, start up app settings and my Autorun manager app. The problem is, when I load the program, it reinvokes the start up process every time. Not sure what about the program internally is doing that.

How can I deal with this pesky quirk? I really only use it a few times a year (and don't need it loaded every single day forever).

The ones that keep returning are:

• Marcum Reflect Monitor
• Marcum Reflect UI Watcher
• Marcum Reflect Utility Service

 

Ok, but that is the program. That is how it's designed to function. If you don't like it switch to something on-demand only, like Image for Windows.

 

Agreed, the best option to avoid that is to find another product. Your only other alternative would be to find a way to prevent the executable from having write access to those entries. Likely a difficult task. Maybe a HIPS that could block it? Probably more hassle than it is worth.

 

"Marcum"? or more "Macrium"? someone please correct the topic titel.

 

It's a standard practice for that Imager as already pointed out.

You could change Image Programs here is one and has a solid thread in this same forum. Hasleo Backup Suite

Even Hasleo autoruns services. If you don't want that, try Drive Snapshot or Image for Windows.

 

True HASLEO does, and i don't know about Macrium Reflect Imager, But you can open Services and set the properties of HASLEO pair of services to manual OR if your more learned set them to DISABLED under Properties-Start Up Type. I sometimes do this myself to cut down on such Services NOT-IN-USE

 

But if you do that your scheduled imaging won't work, nor will, I think, delta restores. You'd be crippling it.

 

I'd consider making boot media then uninstall Macrium Reflect. A few times a year, create images using your boot media.

 

As already suggested, if you don't want processes running in the background, it's best not to use Reflect, unless you only use bootable Reflect media as Brian suggested.

 

Thanks all, will take a closer look at some of these and follow up if needed. Much appreciated. - Marcum in the Middle
