After installation of Vivado Design Suite (2014.1 or later), the Xilinx Information Center (XIC) tool seems to continually run and check software updates automatically.
What is XIC?
Is there a way to disable it?
The Xilinx Information Center (XIC) replaces XilinxNotify in Vivado Design Suite 2014.1 and will provide customers with notifications regarding updates, new releases and even alerts (if deemed necessary).
An option to disable the automatic launching of XIC will be added in a later release.
In Vivado Design Suite 2014.1, XIC can be controlled as indicated below.
