Roxio Burn Launcher, can it be disabled?

[MysterC 1]

 Hey y 'all, can I disable "Roxio burn launcher" without hurting anything?  Is it just part of the desktop gadget or is it a needed process? I don't use the desktop gadget and it seems that Roxio burn launcher is always running.

 

thanks

Hi MysterC,

I don't believe it's a needed process.  It just watches for disc insertion, and runs Roxio Secure Burn when it sees a disc put in.  It uses only a few MB of RAM and very little CPU, but if you want to disable the service just change it from Automatic (Delayed Start) to Disabled.

Regards, Brendon

Thanks Brendon, I'll do that. I'm just going to test and see how it works out, ever since I got the windows 10 1803 update it seems as if it's using a lot more resources than before. I think I may need to reinstall the creator in the end, but I want to try this first.

Thanks again sir.

You're more'n welcome!

You can also disable it via it's option menu.  Not sure if this also stops the service. Probably not.

There are 3 ways to do this...

1. As Brendon stated, via the Services.

2. Load a DVD and when it appears...

2.1 ...click the drop down and select 'options', or click the gear icon. Then disable for the DVD drive.

3. Open 'Roxio Secure Burn' via the Start menu, and follow 2.1
