Beware Windows Customer Expereince Improvement Logoff

[tzr916]

In the last 7 days, I had two instances of failed/partial recording because of "system malfunction or power loss". Yet my home never lost power, never saw the PC reboot, uptime of ETH6 tuner shows ok. So I poked around windows and found it had loffed me off for "Windows Customer Expereince Improvement", even though this is turned OFF in the Control Panel! Looks like there are some scheduled tasks that need to be disabled-

Disable the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program

1. In the Windows 7 guest operating system, start the control panel and click Action Center > Change Action Center settings.

2. Click Customer Experience Improvement Program settings.

3. Select No, I don't want to participate in the program and click Save changes.

4. Start the control panel and click Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler.

5. In the Task Scheduler (Local) pane of the Task Scheduler dialog box, expand the Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows nodes and open the Application Experience folder.

6. Disable the AITAgent and ProgramDataUpdater tasks.

7. In the Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows node, open the Customer Experience Improvement Program folder.

8. Disable the Consolidator, KernelCEIPTask, and Use CEIP tasks.
