I base that on when I uninstalled GE, it removed just about all the Garmin files from my pc, but when I reinstalled, I could still find all of my Garmin running records.
#Garmin express exe software#
Do you know what software processes your pc uses when it is shutting down? It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that Garmin Express communicates with Garmin Headquarters while Garmin Express is running and stores my data there. I use Win 7, so perhaps that causes the problem. However, unticked significantly slows down starting Garmin Express when I want to use it, compared to being ticked, so swings and roundabouts. When unticked, the bootup is a lot quicker than when ticked. Untick that box, and the problem never shows. Strangely, if I have that box I mentioned ticked, so Garmin Express starts working in the background every time I boot up my pc, the problem at shutdown doesn't happen every time, just 50 or 60% of the time. I have had Garmin looking at this for about a month (or more - may two months by now).
#Garmin express exe update#
Hello a few days ago, I had an update too (v7.4.0.0) but it made no difference. My thought now is "could it be the software that is trying to read the memory address where it clashes with exercise.exe the problem, in which case, how can I identify that software?" I reinstalled Garmin again, and the problem is back. This time all the Garmin files went (apart from two very tiny ones in c:/program data/Garmin) - don't know why this time but not last - I didn't knowingly do anything different. (3) I have just uninstalled Garmin again. I unticked that box again, left it like that, and never had a shutdown problem for a few weeks I reinstalled, and the shutdown problem returned. The Garmin files were still there, but the Desktop Garmin icon had gone.

This time I uninstalled then ran a search for Garmin files.


(2) Garmin then advised me to uninstall Garmin Express, which I did. I did that and the shutdown problem disappeared Garmin told me of a place in Settings where I could untick a box that would stop this 'running in the bacground'. (1) I found that Garmin was working in the background even though I hadn't used it - I found I had several log files on a day when I had used the pc on and off, but hadn't been for a run so didn't use Garmin.
