2) Right-click (or control-click) on the app’s icon and select “Options.” 3) Uncheck “Open at Login.”

In the Startup tab, clear the check boxes next to the apps you don’t want to launch at startup
If you’ve installed a lot of apps, you may have noticed that quite a few of them open automatically when you boot up your computer. That’s generally not necessary, and it uses up system resources (which means your computer has to work harder, which can slow it down).
Fortunately, it’s easy to change which apps open automatically. Here’s how:
1. Click the Start button, then click the Settings cog.
2. Click Personalization.
3. Click Start.
4. In the Startup tab, clear the check boxes next to the apps you don’t want to launch at startup.
Click OK and restart your computer
Some programs are set to open automatically when Windows starts. To prevent a program from opening at startup, right click that program in the Startup folder and click Delete. This will only prevent the program from opening when you restart your computer-it won’t delete it from your computer. If you want to stop the program from running altogether, you’ll need to uninstall it.
