[How-to] Remove BlueStacks Ads (Sponsored Apps Popup)

2015-06-01

Comments

If you are annoyed by BlueStacks Ads banner, here are couple of ways to remove it from BlueStacks.

If you have BlueStacks version 0.9.24, 0.9.25 and higher:

Open Windows command prompt (cmd.exe)

Run command

"c:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks\HD-Adb.exe" shell

Then execute:
```
/system/xbin/bstk/su
```
And then:
```
pm disable-user com.bluestacks.s2p
```

Alternative solution:

Start BlueStacks
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to: /data/downloads
Remove file S2P.apk

If you have BlueStacks older than 0.9.24:

Run BlueStacks
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to: /system/app
Remove file S2P.apk

Having purchased my subscription to Bluestacks I now find that the whole site has been taken down and I can not open the program at all, was this all a big scam to get subscriptions from hundreds of people if so you need to be prosecuted for theft. I would like my money back ASAP.

Bluestacks is a bloatware. Install Memu. It's better because there are no intrusive ads.

After using Windows command prompt method then removing it using root explorer. It can still return! How to permanently stop it from returning? Bluestack must have download its core

I think you can disabling it by running Task Schduler > Task Schduler Library > Disable BlueStacksHelper
