    Hi,
    If you follow the wizard, there is an option to no show the wizard again. If all else fails, complete the wizard and then disable Alien Sense within command center.

    Same thing happened to me. So I disabled it from startup and disabled it within command center as well.

    I get the same every now and then on my M17, and trust me i have followed this wizzard several times ;).

    I know what causes the wizzard to pop up again, its after you lock your pc and then unlock it.

    No idea how to fix it though...doesn't happen to often and i just click it away when it pops up.
