Click Remove one or more Windows Essentials programs.
Select Windows Essentials 2012 / Windows Live Essentials and click Uninstall or Change or Remove. I am tempted to disable the service and delete the whole folder, but maybe I am overseeing something here. Press Windows + R, type AppWiz.cpl and click OK. However, the 'Windows Live ID Assistant' is still running as a service and does whatever it is that it has to do.įor the moment I blocked it. One should think that no silent logins to Microsoft servers happen anymore. I checked the installed programs with several uninstallers: no Live installed anymore. On the other hand Live had been deinstalled.
I was not using Outlook or the Messenger, just the Movie Maker program for a while. After some time Windows Firewall Notifier (a plugin for the Windows Firewall to show outgoing connections) popped up after booting:Ĭ:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\windows live\wlidsvc.exeĪka 'Microsoft Windows Live ID Service' tries to connect toīut I have no Live ID. After deinstalling Windows Live with IObit uninstaller it first seemed to have disappeard.
