    How to Prevent Scanner from being a Start Up Device?


    I'm trying to prevent my scanner from starting up (along with its associated noise) when Windows 7 starts up.

    I couldn't find my scanner in the "Everything" tab within Autoruns (version 9.57) during a manual search or via a search using the Find option.

    There also doesn't seem to be a way to stop the scanner from starting up from the Devices and Printers window - Scanner Properties pathway.

    Is there another way to stop the scanner from starting up when Windows 7 starts up.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Have a look in the startup programs - type msconfig into start/search, hit Enter, then go to the startup tab.
