Can I disable niSvcLoc.exe (NI Service Locator)?

I'm trying to improve the reboot time of my PC and want to disasble all unneccessary services. I use standalone Labview packages.

The NI Service Locator, as the name suggests, locates services. It is used by a lot of different programs, such as the LabVIEW Example Finder and LabVIEW Help. If you are absolutely sure that you don't want the functionality of the NI Service Locator, there is a way to disable it. However, we do not recommend you to stop the NI Service Locator and any part from here on is on your own risk:

In Windows, log in as Administrator and go to "Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services >> NI Service Locator" and select "Stop". You can also right-click on the service and choose Properties >> Startup type: Disabled" if you don't want NI Service Locator to be launched at startup.

Again: We do not recommend you to stop the NI Service Locator. If you do, we do not guarantee the functionality of your NI software.

bonjour,
j'ai un problème d'ouverture des exemples de programme fournis par labview.Dès que je clique sur un exemple, le message suivant s'affiche: "an error occured the NI service Locator is not running''
Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider à résoudre ce problème?
Est-ce un problème d'installation ou non?
Est-ce un problème avec mon window?

je vous remercie d'avance

Tu as besoin de l'archive C:\WINDOWS\system32\niSvcLoc.exe
Tu peut verificer si le programme s'aranche par le mirant en Task manager et aussi au sevices comme indique en haut. Le "starup type" soit etre Automatic et necessite l'option -s.
