Nahimic companion, keeps reinstalling

Question

Some days ago I got a popup, about if I agree with the terms of nahimic companion.

I looked and saw it was installed on my pc, I never installed it.

I tried to remove it, but it keeps getting back.

I don't use it, and I don't want it.

Any idea how to remove or that is it required?

Answer 1

I agree this is ridiculous.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, Nahimic came installed on my computer. Not to mention: even if I did have a proper system restore, would you really even call that a fix or..? That's really just wiping my computer to another save state essentially, and I'd rather not have to do that, especially when it will reinstall in the future anyway, seems like a cycle with no end point to me. There's gotta be some better way to remove the app, and not only remove it, but prevent it from reinstalling. And I'm hoping the microsoft community will be a little more, what's the word, willing, to find a way to remove the product. Because, as I previously stated, Nahimic ain't doin sh*t 'bout it (as I'm sure you would imagine).

And yep, I agree, it's easier to break a comp than to fix one. And thank you for trying to help, Joe.

Answer 3

Here's what I did: 

I removed Nahimic from my Programs and Features list.

But then, I found I also needed to go into Task Scheduler (under Administrative Options in control panel) and right-mouse-click to "DISABLE" the 4 scheduled tasks related to Nahimic (e.g. NahimcTask64, NahimcTask32, NahimicSvc64Run, NahimicSvc32Run).  At first, it looked like 2 of the Tasks were not disabled, but when I rebooted and looked at Task Scheduler again, it did show that all 4 tasks were now DISABLED.

Answer 4

I could not find them either. I could only find the services and files in system32. I really wish Microsoft/MSI/Nahimic would tell us how to stop this. I kind of want to end able my onboard audio again but can't because of Nahimic.

Answer 5

I cannot find  the 4 scheduled tasks related to Nahimic . Where are they?
