Preventing Garmin Express from Running in the Background on a Computer

Garmin Express is designed to run as a background service on the computer. It does this to check for updates, download files, and sync with wireless ANT fitness devices.

If this is not desirable, Garmin Express can be prevented from running in the background.

Windows

1.	Open Garmin Express
