Every time after windows is starting a smart scan runs

Norton 360 for Windows
1

Hi there,
every time after windows is starting with the new norton 306 app (version 24) a smart scan runs, although I’ve turned all scans to manually. This behavior only occurs after updating to the new version. How can I stop that? A workaround is to go to Smart Scan menu and interrupt the scan.

Windows 10 latest version including updates

And you’ve confirmed that Smart Scan is Run manually > Save?
Please try Preset scans Smart | Quick | Full as Run manually > Save…as test.

Definitley yes. And doing that again and again. And as I’ve posted: ALL Scans are set to manually!

head scratch
I’m not seeing (afaik) as you describe…my side.
Presumably, you’ve run Restart (not Shut down) machine.

And otherwise 24.8 feels okay?

I did clean reinstall 24.8 on my dust collector machine.
Then I clean reinstalled 24.8 on my daily rider.

I’ll need to monitor my machine starts.

Well, “all” standard procederes I’ve done, because I am really experienced in software / hardware including an MCSE (just a few years ago …). A clean install was not on my list, because this shouldn’t be an option with an upgrade procedere with “Live Update”. 24.8 is working except the startup behavior …

But there are some posts (but with Win 7 I hink …) where similar problems have been reported

Maybe a registry key to avoid a smart scan?

just mention as an aside
I’ve not finding how to stop Software Updater runs.
