Netgear Genie is blocked by Windows "User Account Control" on computer startup
Does any know how to get Netgear Genie to start up automatically? Now, any for some reason this just recently changed, i have to manually allow Windows "user Account Control" to allow Neatgear Genie...
I tried genie a few times over the years, in my case I didn't see the benefit and deleted it. I understand they do update it so be sure you're using the latest version.
delete it
install as administrator
Thanks searay. I think i did that back in April and it has been working fine since then. Only a coupole weeks ago it start to be blocked by "User Account Control"
When i check PROGRAMS, STARTUP PROGRAMS, It shows that Netgear Genie has "no classification" I think if Netgear would register the program with Microsoft it would not be blocked.
I'l try reinstall again as admin.
