[QUOTE="Antig, post: 969781, member: 91131"] Today,after a week of installed life, the binisoft firewall in Windows11 warned of a Microsoft signed 'DEVICE CENSUS' asking to act. Apart from the fact the latin word 'census' usually refers to populations I wonder what the heck is this as it deals with microphones as well, it seems. So I looked around to find a way to disable (not delete) it and [URL="http://www.partitionwizard.com"]www.partitionwizard.com[/URL] advised to go to [B]Task Scheduler Library[/B] > [B]Microsoft[/B] > [B]Windows[/B] > [B]Device Information[/B]. in order to disable this potentially CPU consuming stranger. Or ,right click in Windows32 as an alternative. The fact is I do not have anything related to 'Device Information' or even 'Device' in my System32 folder. Perhaps because I dont have a camera,but only a microphone and loudspeakers inserted in this desktop machine? Is it all right ,or am I missing something in my W11 OS? [/QUOTE]
