    Hi Lorraine,

    In the list of installed Apps, do you see ConnectWise Control

    If you see that, uninstall it

    Also check your Windows Startup for either ConnectWise Control or ScreenConnect

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Click on the Startup Tab

    See if either app is listed there

    If it is, select it and click 'Disable'

    Close Task Manager

    Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

    When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

    Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

    In the remaining list see if either app is listed, uncheck any you find

    Click Apply and OK

    Restart your System and this annoyance will be gone . . .
