How to Disable Logitech Download Assistant Startup

Logitech Download Assistant is a software designed by Logitech which is used for detecting the new updates on Windows startup. This helps you download and install the new updates for your keyboards and mice automatically. However, this showing up at every startup is annoying for several users. Uninstalling and disabling this will not change anything for your Logitech devices, as this is just a utility for the updates.

To remain as efficient as possible, we advise you to follow the methods in the order that they are presented. One of them will help to resolve the issue in your particular scenario.

Method 1: Disabling Logitech Download Assistant in Startup

This is the simplest method to prevent the Logitech Download Assistant from opening at every system startup. Sometimes the application will get the startup option by default without letting you know. The startup tab in the Task Manager will show you all the applications listed for the startup of your computer. You can disable the LDA application for a startup from the Task Manager by following the steps below.

1. Hold the Windows Key and Press R to open Run, now type “taskmgr” in the text box and click OK to open Task Manager
2. Select the Startup tab and find the “Logitech Download Assistant“, right-click on it and select Disable

   

3. Reboot and check if the LDA still pop up at startup or not.

Method 2: Disabling the Logitech Download Assistant in Settings

Some affected users have managed to resolve the issue by turning off the notifications for the Logitech Download Assistant in Windows settings. You can check your “Notifications & actions” in settings for LDA, if the assistant is available there then turning off the notifications will stop showing this window for the user.

1. Hold Windows Key and Press I to open up the Settings, then click on “System”

   

2. Now open Notifications & actions and scroll down to check Logitech in the list

   

3. If it’s listed then you can toggle Off the notifications
4. Now you can check if the Logitech Download Assistant still appears or not.

If this option is not available in your settings, then the next method is a permanent fix for the appearing of the assistant window.

Method 3: Deleting the LogiLDA.dll file in System32

In this method, we will be deleting the LogiLDA.dll in the System32 folder to get rid of the LDA window showing at startup. Users also reported that deleting this file made no difference or didn’t create any conflict with the main Logitech module. The downside is that you would have to update your Logitech product manually in the future. The automatic update feature will not work.

1. Open your File Explorer by pressing Windows + E keys
2. Now locate the LogiLDA.dll in the following directory:

   C:\Windows\System32
   

3. Right-click on the LogiLDA.dll file and click Delete

   

4. Restart your system and the LDA window will not appear anymore.
