Cannot turn off Program Compatibility Assistant

I hope someone can provide me with a way to disable the program compatibility Wizard. I had this same problem in the Beta, but of course during the beta test I used Windows 7 Ultimate. First off I would like to start by pointing out that I do run with Windows 7 Home Premium.

That said, I know that this means that the most common solution, using Local Group Policy Editor to disable the program compatibility Wizard won't work, as the Home Premium does not gpedit.msc.

Now, this is the part confusing, at least to me. I found an alternative solution specifically designed to fill this gap. I was directed to the access to Servicesand localization Program Compatibility Assistant Service, stop the service and then turn it off (via the properties for this service). I did exactly that. He is arrested and the Startup Type is "off". I even rebooted.

Now here's the part that confuses me... it always comes back. How can he do that when I have the service stopped? This is another aspect of the security of Windows 7 I am not aware of this must be disabled?

As a note, when I tried to install the software in question, I chose "Run as Administrator", just in case, and who didn't yet have any advantage. If anyone knows what I have to do, including instructions on changing my recording, let me know. Thank you.

Hi Mobius187,


I'm afraid to say that in Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, it is not possible to disable this feature.
The only way to turn it off is by using the Group Policy Editor.
 
 
Hope that answers your question.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • iTunes 12.5.1.21 cannot turn off shuffle

    Since downloading the latest version of iTunes for Windows, I can't shuffle to turn off anywhere. The shuffle at the top bar (where the songs show they play) is off, but the Shuffle all that is next to each album and also the top artist is on and I can't find a way to turn it off. I hate shuffle and I never use it and I never want, and still iTunes wants me apparently. Any suggestions for what?

    I don't think they want to be able to use shuffle with no possible way to turn it off.

    Many people have the same problem and it is obviously a programming problem.

  • Cannot turn off option "sleep and fresh."

    I can't turn off the option "sleep" and fresh. I did not need, and it disrupts the functioning of my scanner. Apparently, we should have two types of USB ports: with the sign 'Flash' (used for the options 'sleep... ") and normal. I have on the left side of my black ports two laptops and Satellite on the right two blue ports.

    I can't find the sign "lightning" anywhere and sleep... ' icon appears whenever I plug the scanner; This happens for all 4 ports. I entered the "sleep...". ' Set up the menu and try to disable this option, but it does not work. I tried to uninstall the option "sleep...". ', but it does not appear on the list of programs, you can uninstall.

    We should be able to completely eliminate the options that it is not necessary, but I can't manage it.

  • Qosmio F50 - cannot turn off microphone on Windows 7

    Since installing windows 7, the microphone on my laptop seems to be permanently. Which is really bloody annoying when you go to your music and you get a very high feedback sound height. If anyone has had this problem or can anyone help?

    also the Fn key works more :(

    > Although I still can't get the FN button work. I can not see the maps flash at the top of the screen, but I could never before. I tried to restart the flash cards, but which does nothing. I don't want to do that all the time, like using my mouse to click on them. I just want to use the FN key to use.
    You can turn off flash cards so that they don't appear on the display.

    So navigate to start > all programs > TOSHIBA > utilities > settings for Flash cards

    Clear the option allow the mouse to make the maps. This means that cards Flash appears only if you press a FN key, but not with the mouse more. :)

    See you soon

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A210-16F and it won't turn off sometimes.
    Happens to the window "Stop", but it wont close and stays like that until what I stopped it manually by holding the POWER button.

    What could be a reason for this problem?

    Sometimes I can't stop my laptop or closing procedure crashes as impossible to close some of the processes that are running in the background automatically.

    In my case, sometimes it software Adobe acrobat reader crashes and I have to manually close this process (in the Task Manager).

    In most cases, the operating system cleaning can help I use the program known. CCleaner. It s free and you can clean the system and the registry.
    There are also other applications that could do the job so but I m satisfied with this program.

    Maybe this will help you too
