A recent upgrade to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client causes the anyconnect client to load at windows startup. This is a pain in the ass since I'm not always going to connect to my VPN when I start windows. Thanks for taking the MS approach on this one Cisco. Thanks also for not providing a simple way to turn this off via the UI. To prevent this client from loading at boot:
start -> type: msconfig.exe
click the tab "startup"
uncheck "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client"
click "ok"
click "exit without restart"
Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteIt can also be done through the registry, which is what the msconfig.exe does indirectly. This value is in HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run - look for the one labeled "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent for Windows".
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. It solved my nightmare in a quick fix!
DeleteThank you! This was just annoying me moments ago.
ReplyDeleteSuch a retarded change in an already incredibly annoying program.
