| | How is dpupdchk.exe stopped? I found the below information to stop dpupdchk.exe from running and eating up 3 to 5 MBs of RAM but it doesn't apply to my version of Vista Home Premium since there is no Local Security Policy or Software Security Policies under Administrative Tools. How do I stop this from running? To prevent this task from running you will actually need the assistance of Windows itself, as follows : a) Open Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. b) Look for Software Security Policies. c) Right-click Additional Rules. d) Choose New Path Rule. e) Click BROWSE and choose C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliType Pro\dpupdchk.exe. f) Set the Security Level to Disallowed. g) Click OK. h) Close "Local Security Policy". i) Reboot your PC. j) You're done. |
