Additional background-service controls

  • Disable more visual-analysis features: New controls stop the screen-analysis and content-cognition managers used for food/text discovery and subtitle recognition. Disabling these affects related AI and accessibility features.
  • Block Gaming Hub’s background components: Disable two additional backend apps and their startup service, extending the existing Gaming Hub controls.
  • Turn off unused remote-support services: Block Samsung Remote Management, Easy Support and Shop Care while preserving the separate maintenance tools.
  • Disable Remote PC: Block the Remote PC launcher and background manager while retaining its sandbox and the shared browser.
  • Add an optional Alexa startup-helper block: Covers a separate helper when it is installed. It was absent from the tested TV, so this control was skipped there.
  • Check that services actually stopped: Detect selected helper processes that remain running after their main service stops, and undo the attempted change if verification fails.
  • Expand service inspection: Add a live service audit and broader inspection of both TV and One Connect firmware to identify components needing further investigation.

Compatibility and limits: Support is currently limited to the Frame Pro QN65LS03FWFXZA running firmware 1301.0. Apps are disabled rather than uninstalled, and AI model files remain installed. These controls do not establish that every microphone input, advertising component or telemetry source is blocked.
