Magix Connect

Thanks much, Acorn and Steve.

I just uninstalled it. I'll see if that does the trick.

Thanks again.

If this problem is due to MAGIX Movie Maker, no need to uninstall is. There is a method to remove the ads. But, it may only be for older versions. Mine is 2016.

From the desktop use <control-alt-delete>, pick <Task Manager>, under the tab <Process> find (something like, I don't see it any more because I removed it) <Updater...>, right click <properties>. In this version it should say <QMxNetworkSync.exe>. Click <End Task>. Close the <Task Manager>.

Open <Windows Explorer>, got <C:\Program Files\Common Files\MAGIX Services\Update Notifier>, and delete <QMxNetworkSync.exe>, reboot the computer.

In my version, I get no more ads. When I run <MAGIX Movie Maker> so far it has not complained.

I hope not. Because if it does I will, as others have indicated on this Forum, Uninstall it. No flame war intended. Simple dissatisfaction with MAGIX.

Hope this helps a few of annoyed customers.

this is an old thread, not sure it is even an issue

but if it is, I think just uninstalling is a cleaner sloution....

The current incarnation is called Update Notifier. You can either uninstall it or go under the Info Channel tab and disable everything for which you don't want to see messages. I have some turned on because I want to know if there is a new version of these.

For Xara user who also use Magix nle's, Movie Edit Pro, Video Pro X or PhotoStory, you may want to keep the Update Notifier as the program also allows you to download files - WiFi transfer from a cell phone with Camera MX to your computer. Cloud Import is linked to the nle Import tab and allows you to access and transfer files that may be stored on the cloud under MX One Drive or Google Drive for use in the nle. You can open the Update Notifier from the hidden icon tray.
