На днях я получил электронное письмо от читателя g-ek.com с вопросом, можно ли запретить автоматический запуск Office Click-To-Run в фоновом режиме. В этом руководстве рассмотрим, что такое Office «Нажми и работай», и как его отключить в Windows 10.
Что такое Office «Нажми и работай»?
Microsoft Office «Нажми и работай» автоматически устанавливается вместе с программным обеспечением Office. Фактически, это часть пакета Microsoft Office. Эта служба управляет координацией ресурсов, фоновой потоковой передачей и системной интеграцией продуктов Microsoft Office, а также их обновлений. Она должна быть запущена во время начальной установки программ Microsoft Office по сети, их использования и всех последующих обновлений.
Хотя Windows не поддерживает удаление Click-To-Run, есть обходной путь, чтобы предотвратить его запуск.
Примечание: Мы не рекомендуем отключать Office нажми и работай, поскольку это может помешать Microsoft Office получать обновления. Это означает, что ваша установка Office больше не будет обновляться автоматически. Рано или поздно, у вас будет устаревшее программное обеспечение Office. Более того, служба Office «нажми и работай» не требует большого количества системных ресурсов.
Поскольку другого способа отключить Office «Нажми и работай» нет, нам нужно отключить службу.
Запретить автоматический запуск Microsoft Office «Нажми и работай» в Windows 10
Выполните приведенные ниже инструкции, чтобы остановить автоматический запуск Office «Нажми и работай».
Шаг 1: Откройте диспетчер задач на вкладке «Процессы».
Шаг 2: Найдите в списке запись под названием Microsoft Office Click-To-Run (SxS) и разверните ее.
Шаг 3: Теперь кликните правой кнопкой мыши на Службе Microsoft Office «Нажми и работай» и выберите в контекстном меню «Открыть службы».
Шаг 4: В программе управления службами найдите и откройте двойным кликом «Служба Microsoft Office «Нажми и работай».
Шаг 5: В диалоговом окне «Свойства», измените тип запуска с Автоматического на Отключено. Нажмите кнопку «Применить».
Шаг 6: Перезагрузите компьютер. Это все!
Служба Office «Нажми и работай» с этого момента не будет запускается автоматически. Это также означает, что установленный пакет / приложение Microsoft Office может не обновляться автоматически.
Чтобы восстановить исходную настройку, на шаге 5 измените «Тип запуска» на «Автоматически», а затем нажмите «Применить».

The other day, I received an email from a reader asking if it is possible to prevent the Office Click-To-Run from automatically running in the background. In this guide, we will see what Office Click-To-Run is and how to disable it in Windows 10.
What is Office Click-To-Run?
Microsoft Office Click-To-Run is automatically installed along with the Office software. In fact, it is part of Microsoft Office suite. Click-To-Run is basically used to install and update the Office software. Though Windows does not support uninstalling the Click-To-Run, there is a workaround out there to prevent it from running.
NOTE: We do not recommend disabling the Office Click-To-Run as doing so might stop Microsoft Office from getting updates. This means that your Office installation will no longer be updated automatically. You will be left with an outdated Office software. Moreover, the Office Click-To-Run service does not take much system resources.
Since there is no other way out there to disable the Office Click-To-Run, we need to disable its service via the Services window.
Prevent Office Click-To-Run from automatically running in Windows 10
Complete the given below directions to stop the Office Click To Run from automatically running by disabling it.

Office Click-To-Run service will not automatically start from now on. This also means that installed Microsoft Office suite/applications might not be updated automatically.
To restore the original setting, in the Step 3, change the Startup type to Automatic and then click Apply.
