Yesterday my Netgear Genie Auto Updated the software on my computer which is a Windows Vista Gateway Desktop and ever since it was updated whenever I reboot my computer the Netgear Genie keeps popping up and asking me which wifi connection I want to select despite the fact that I already have one selected automatically. How to I set it to stop popping up without clicking on the icon first which I am not doing since I don't need to select Network. Please let me know how to stop the annoying pop up. Thank for taking the time to read this everybody.

Hi DukeNukeum,
Try to uncheck it on the start up of your computer. Also, if you don't want to use the Genie, you may uninstall it.

Re: Netgear Genie keeps poping up
Actually that solution above didn't resolve the problem. In regards to checking it off since I couldn't find the part on the computer to do that. And I don't want to uninstall the genie since I need it on the computer since my desktop doesn't have wifi built into it like later models since mine is from 2007. But I think I will just let it go. It is not that big of a deal anyway. So I will just say solved then. Thanks for your help.
