[NAME]  I am running the same version of SupportAssist and I have no issues with scans starting automatically.  By default, SupportAssist does schedule scans, but you can go into "Settings" (gear wheel, upper right) and then select "Schedule Scans and Optimizations".  Uncheck the top box on that screen: "Turn on automatic system scans and optimizations".  Before I unchecked that box, I went to the three different schedules below, and set them to monthly, then unchecked the "master switch".  I don't know if that makes any difference. Please let me know if this helps, which I hope it does.  Have a great day. Regards,-Phil
I am using the latest version of Support Assist 3.5.0. If the registry cleaner runs it deletes valid entries and makes the associated application unusable. So I want to manually run other components of Support Assist that do not effect the registry. If  set it to run manually, after a few  days it will automatically start anyway, and I risk losing my application access due to the registry scan. If I set it to run automatically and choose a time when the computer will be off to prevent it from running that way, after a few days it will also start scanning automatically when the computer is on. Fortunately I have been able to stop it when it starts and not lose my application access, but that has been just luck to be using the computer when Support Assist starts and catch it and stop it. There seems to be no way to prevent Support Assist from running on its own. Why does Support Assist take over no matter what I do. That is very invasive. Is there a solution or do I just have to uninstall it and do without it?   Greg
I cannot prevent Support Assist from running
