Tired of the increased load time due to OGA notifications that has been long time ago retired by Microsoft? Here's a simple VBS script to cleanly and entirely remove it (it both uninstalls the MSI and deletes the remaining scheduled tasks). How to use: save as a VBS file and run it. Or alternatively download the ZIP file attached to this post where you can find the VBS inside. Code: Const msiInstallStateAbsent = 2 Set Installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer") Installer.UILevel = msiUILevelBasic + msiUILevelHideCancel strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Product") For Each objItem in colItems If InStr(1, objItem.Name, "OGA Notifier", Text) = 1 Then Installer.ConfigureProduct objItem.IdentifyingNumber, 0, msiInstallStateAbsent Rem objItem.Name, objItem.IdentifyingNumberobjItem.Caption, objItem.Description, objItem.Vendor, objItem.Version, objItem.IdentifyingNumber, objItem.InstallLocation End If Next Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Dim TasksToDelete(2) TasksToDelete(0) = "OGADaily" TasksToDelete(1) = "OGALogon" For Each TaskToDelete in TasksToDelete WshShell.Run "schtasks.exe /delete /F /TN """ & TaskToDelete & """", 0, true Next
