Edit: Not to worry, I've done a search and found how to disable it.

My laptop started running that last evening. I turned off the laptop last night and back on again this morning. It's still running Device Census after two hours.

Is this a problem. Why is it taking so long? Can I stop it?

Thanks.

You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
