If you’re the
type of person who installs a lot of software on your PC *puts hand up*, then
you may have seen the following message after successful installations:
Most of the time, the
program I am installing installs fine and this message is an inconvenience. In
a quest to click my mouse less, I set out to disable this dialog box. Learn how
to disable this also in this guide.
Note: This guide involves stopping a
service. This service is for the following:
This service provides
support for the Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA). PCA monitors
programs installed and run by the user and detects known compatibility
problems. If this service is stopped, PCA will not function properly.
Thus,
by stopping this service you may have compatibility issues with other
running programs.
Disable “This program
might not have installed correctly” Message
To
disable the This program might not have
installed correctly message:
- Click
the Start button, type services.msc, and
press Enter.
- Scroll down to Program Compatibility Assistant Service, right click it, and click Properties.
- Change the Startup type to Disabled and click Stop
Now you’ll no
longer see this box and can use the saved
mouse clicks and time (oh so much
time) to browse this site for more tips!
