For a very brief moment during MAX loading before any UI is shown, some strange window pops up… (max 2020)
It’s hard to see but it looks like this:
Very fast from showing to hiding… ~100 ms.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this might be? Or maybe you know how to capture this…
I think it’s some part of the licensing process.
This window is not owned by the MAX main window. It probably appears before the MAX main window is created.
I found who is causing that pop-up dialog box … as I expected - some Autodesk’s abomination … ADPClientService.exe
telemetry (aka. spyware)
you can turn that thing off in help-menu->>Feedback->Desktop Analytics Programm…
but not 100%, “Required data collection” is mandatory for whatever abstruse reasons
you kill it in task-manager, it comes back.
so i wrote a “spyware killer” for such intruders, quite intrusive that thing
