No shots intended but if every bit of software on my PC decided to open at startup to remind me it was there and doing its stuff, I'd get nothing done.
I don't like things foisted on me. I would rather it just sat there quietly and only made itself known if it was not working etc.
Also I am lazy and it steals two seconds of my life each time it opens and I have to close it.
I will try the disable fast startup and then re-enable it next time. Thanks
Sorry the popup now back so only workaround is to disable fast startup.
I've tried the disable/enable fast startup solution and it doesn't work for longer than 1 reboot.
This is really annoying, particularly as the pop-up cannot be clicked away too quickly - it promptly reappears. If you just leave it in the background it jumps to the foreground the second you open something else. This means you MUST study the pop-up before you can do anything else. OK if there is a serious problem, definitely not OK if the information you're getting is purely informative.
Hi , yes this is true that the disable/enable fast start up doesn't work for me, i thought it did until i booted up again and it just reappeared. i would rather turn it off completely rather than have obtrusive "adware type" pop ups.
One more annoyed customer here. I know that I am using McAfee and I don't need to be reminded every time.
McAfee Security Center 16.0.5 on Windows 10 Pro version 1703 build 15063.726
Disable/enable fast startup also doesn't work for me. Ta.
Ok after 4 reboots no popup went to bed got up next morning it is back, This I agree is annoying. Funny though next reboot with fast startup enabled did not popup. It appears to take a boot or 2 to return. Will pass this onto the manager of the product
I am getting the interface upon startup NOT using windows 10.. using windows 8.1
As a above poster commented I don't want to have to close this application EVERY time I start up the computer.. this is reason alone for me not to purchase this product in the future... please post if there is a real work around. Turning off fast start is not consistently doing it.
I have emailed the manager of Livesafe wait and see what he says
I have also been having this problem for a few days now and as all before me have only been able to stop it temporarily. I would expect it from 'Free Software' that imposes pop ups and adverts but NOT from subscription software. It is invasive and unwanted. I am prepared to uninstall and go elsewhere if this is not resolved despite almost one years subscription left.
