How to disable Microsoft Upload Center 2013 ?

ccleaner worked...

I tried also sheduled tasks on computer manager uner win 8.1.

Did not work anyway.

It's a pitty that you need thrid party sw to disable ms products!

It's an even greater pity how pathetic Windows itself has become. I hate the SmartPhone for PC OS... piece of garbage. Makes me want to avoid using the systems that have been "upgraded" to Win8/8.1 OS.

I have skydrive installed. The office upload center starts on my system and I do not have a problem with this. However, there have been a few files appear in the upload center as needing updates even thought the files were not opened or editted. In once instance the file corrupted on both sides, my client and the skydrive cloud. This caused me to loose the file.

Is there some reason why it would be seeing random files as needing updates, possibly virus scans or something along those lines? Are there exclusions for skydrive, office or office upload center?

I think it is possible that an antivirus or security program could alter and corrupt documents, and especially true if the documents contain macros and the security software settings are not properly configured.

This will largely depend on what software solution you or your employer have selected for virus/malware protection. Unless something has recently changed, consumer versions of McAfee lack the ability for the end user to set file and folder exclusions. This is one of many reasons I refuse to use McAfee products.

Most of the better options that complete with McAfee, including Microsoft Security Essentials and the subscription-based (not free) options do allow the end user to set exclusions.

Limitations to setting file and folder exclusions may also be implemented by an IT administrator in a business environment.

Simple solution: 

Ccleaner>>StartupItems>>ScheduledTasks

Also, if you navigate to windows scheduled tasks, you will find the entry there despite any illusions.

Removing mysosync is not a good idea unless you want to be the first to try and let us know.

Hello,

For office 2013, the upload center is a service that has to be disabled.

open services.msc > find "Microsoft office services" stop the service than set to manual or disabled.
