GrumpyChair Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 I may have done the wrong thing. I used Iobit unlocker on smartscreen.exe and deleted it from System32 . not sure if it was smart or not but no errors as yet. Did i do something totally stupid? I have Iobit antimalware, Hitman pro, Malwarebytes antimalware, super antispyware all up to date. 1 Quote

GrumpyChair Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Posted April 21, 2019 i'm trying to Stop most of the microsoft crap that i don't need or use. i do not use edge of explorer browsers. smartscrean opens with Edge. so i close in taskmanager. so far i have deleted most XBox live crap. i believe pc stuff should for pc not console cross over crap. plus windows 10 is so full of crap no one wants. i also disabled all Hyper V stuff in services. And i will be doing this after every big update, ITS a game and stream rig. P.s I have using a pc since windows 1998se. and how windows change so much in personal data collecting. Quote
Solution Steve Krause Posted April 26, 2019 Solution Report Posted April 26, 2019 OK got it. Makes sense. Smartscreen isn't something I ever enable on IE/Edge etc... But if you nuke it, shouldn't hurt anything I can think of. Quote
