Uninstall in Windows Programs and Features
If there’s a program/app you don’t recognise – Google it before removing it (as per previous: before uninstalling, it’s great to have a clone as backup!)

Use the
Startup section of
Task Manager
To run Pro Tools with the “bare minimum” of extras:
with no Internet connected (computer offline for Pro Tools) type “
System Configuration” (without the inverted commas) in the Search Bar (see attached image) -
In the
Services tab, tick the “Hide all Microsoft Services” box
Click on the Manufacturer tab (for alphabetical order)
Click the “Disable all” button, then tick just 4 rows:
Bonjour Service (for MP3 conversion)
Conexant Audio Message Service (use your Onboard Audio instead)
Mbox Pro Device Monitor (use your Interface instead)
PACE License Services
Click the Apply button
Click the OK button
Restart computer
Launch Pro Tools
On the Desktop, it's handy to have shortcuts to:
‘Sound’
‘Avid Mbox Pro’ (or your Interface)
‘Programs and Features’
‘Device Manager’
‘Screen Saver’ etc., as well as
‘This PC’ and ‘Control Panel’
LicenseCrawler is a great free app that compiles a list of your License Keys (such as Windows 10, Microsoft Office, IK Multimedia etc)
They can come in handy (as long as you remember to copy them from your computer to an external drive!)
LicenseCrawler 2.3 Build 2566
