Prevent Dymo Connect opening when plug-in a printer USB about dymo-connect-framework HOT 18 OPEN

Found a solution to this POS software.

First kill all applications that start with DYMO (dymoconnect.exe, dymoconnectlauncher.exe, etc.) using task manager.

In C:\Program Files (x86)\Dymo\Dymo Connect or C:\Program Files\Dymo\Dymo Connect rename the file called "DymoConnectLauncher.exe" to "DymoConnectLauncher.exe.crappysoftware".

Reboot your Dymo and the connect software should no longer launch upon plugging in.

Annoying indeed ... there should be an option in the preferences to disable this!

Well yes i'm using 11 Enterprise but msconfig should work on all windows versions as I recall. what can't be done in your case? does msconfig not start. if you reconnect the printer while not rebooted it will start the app again as the service is still running.

I have no problem opening MsConfig, I meant disabling the DYMO Connect PnP Service and rebooting afterwards had no effect. As soon as I plugged the printer back in after the reboot the app opened up again. I double-checked the service was still disabled after the reboot and it was.

You know what your absolutly right!, I checked and yes it still does. :-( (don't get why it did not the first time)

But then we look in a different location: Start task manager -> then select the "Speed tab" and deiable the startups there.
now i tried 3 times this should work.

I disabled all from Dymo but i suspect only "Dymoconnectlauncher" is the one you need to disable.

Having the same problem here. Unbelieveably annoying. I have the printer plugged into my docking station so every morning when I log in, Dymo Connect is there right in the front. I want this to stop. The fact this was even written into the application is gobsmackingly insane, was the dev team completely high when they worked on that bit?

And this first comment was 6 months ago. Great support Dymo, good to see you actually care about your customers.

Each time I'm logged out and I sign in again. There it is...:-S Even when the screen just locks.
I also have it connected to my USB dockingstation.

Thanks so much for this! I'm going one step further and pushing this out as GPO to remove the file and disable the DYMOConnectPnP service. My end users are going to be thrilled (we're all on docking stations too)...

Disappointing to see this has still not been addressed. It's quite intrusive and extremely annoying not having control over this configuration.

from dymo-connect-framework.

Just to bring in another device class to this annoyance:
I've got a PC with a second monitor and a USB hub attached to it. As soon as I power up the monitors in the morning, the USB hub is "activated" and thus the dymo software popups up every day.
This is even worse than a printer - powerup...

Yes annoying is is this phone home we will always show full screen when we start software.
But to disable this you can do that easier without renaming and searching.
run: MSCONFIG.exe
choose the services TAB:
scroll down to you find: DYMO connect PNP service. and disableit.
Save all.
you don't have to reboot the next time you do the app wont start anymore so you need to start the DYMO software yourself

You can also disable the Service from automatically running on login.

from dymo-connect-framework.

For anyone running into this issue on Windows Server or a like - go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Startup" and disable it there
(This is because on Windows Server there's no Startup tab in the Task Manager)

Same may also be on Windows 11

from dymo-connect-framework.

Really annoying! Pops up every time I reactivate Win11 from energy save mode.

from dymo-connect-framework.

I no longer have the issue. I believe it is because of the previous advice on disabling startup apps. My Startup apps are now disabled like this.

from dymo-connect-framework.

I've disabled service, stopped process and removed from autostart months ago.
But it started again annoying me after I have used the App once, yesterday.

from dymo-connect-framework.

FWIW, if you're on a system where msconfig doesn't show startup options, you can manually remove this from HKCU/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run. I suppose on some systems in might be under HKLM instead of HKCU.

Obviously please do be careful editing the registry of course, and consider backing up the relevant key before deletion (as if anyone would ever want this "feature" restored).
