![]() This is just the way Garmin has done it and it seems to be one of the most common reasons for users’ frustration judging from the comments they leave on the review pages. – You may not be able to uninstall the currently active watch face, which means you need to switch to another screen on your watch first. So you may find that some things just don’t work there, and in such case it is always good to try with Garmin Express which appears to be more reliable. – Connect IQ app is quite remarkable for its poor engineering quality. This is usually much more convenient than with Garmin Express. + You can see the setting changes effect immediately after you press ‘Save’ button, which generally makes the adjustments easier and faster. – You won’t see the results of your changes until you disconnect the watch from the computer, so if you want to try different settings to decide which you like most, this will be somewhat tedious. + You can uninstall the watch face currently active on your watch. ![]() ![]() To customize Connect IQ watch faces settings, you will need to use one of the available Garmin tools:Įach of these tools has its pros and cons: If the settings on the watch are supported, you will also see another choice “Customize”. When you are there and your face of choice is being shown, you will always be presented with the “Apply” option. To do this, first you need to get to the watch face selection menu on your watch. Directly on the watch, if the watch and the app allows it Its just a thought, but I am desperately scraping the bottom of the barrel.Connect IQ watch face settings can be adjusted in two ways:ġ. I wonder if GE tells headquarters "I am shutting down" and needs, but sometimes doesn't get, a response in time before Windows needs to use a memory address that 'exercise.exe' also uses. I base that on when I uninstalled GE, it removed just about all the Garmin files from my pc, but when I reinstalled, I could still find all of my Garmin running records. Do you know what software processes your pc uses when it is shutting down? It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that Garmin Express communicates with Garmin Headquarters while Garmin Express is running and stores my data there. I use Win 7, so perhaps that causes the problem. However, unticked significantly slows down starting Garmin Express when I want to use it, compared to being ticked, so swings and roundabouts. When unticked, the bootup is a lot quicker than when ticked. Untick that box, and the problem never shows. Strangely, if I have that box I mentioned ticked, so Garmin Express starts working in the background every time I boot up my pc, the problem at shutdown doesn't happen every time, just 50 or 60% of the time. I have had Garmin looking at this for about a month (or more - may two months by now). Hello a few days ago, I had an update too (v7.4.0.0) but it made no difference. ![]() My thought now is "could it be the software that is trying to read the memory address where it clashes with exercise.exe the problem, in which case, how can I identify that software?" I reinstalled Garmin again, and the problem is back. This time all the Garmin files went (apart from two very tiny ones in c:/program data/Garmin) - don't know why this time but not last - I didn't knowingly do anything different. (3) I have just uninstalled Garmin again. I unticked that box again, left it like that, and never had a shutdown problem for a few weeks I reinstalled, and the shutdown problem returned. The Garmin files were still there, but the Desktop Garmin icon had gone. This time I uninstalled then ran a search for Garmin files. (2) Garmin then advised me to uninstall Garmin Express, which I did. I did that and the shutdown problem disappeared Garmin told me of a place in Settings where I could untick a box that would stop this 'running in the bacground'. (1) I found that Garmin was working in the background even though I hadn't used it - I found I had several log files on a day when I had used the pc on and off, but hadn't been for a run so didn't use Garmin. ![]()
