Can anyone suggest me how to STOP Google Chrome from automatic launch during Windows 10 STARTUP ?

This problem started after few regular boots post updating Windows 10 to Build 1709 (OS build 16299.64) & Chrome to latest version(Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit)). I've already checked the Startup tab from the taskbar , which I earlier Disabled for chrome from startup. But it is annoying every time I boot.

    Go too default apps under settings and make your browser anything BUT Chrome. This fixed it for me. 

    That's nice, but I actually want Chrome as my default browser, so this isn't a good solution for me. How to I keep Chrome as my default Windows browser and stop it from opening on startup? The solutions marked earlier in this thread have not worked for me.

    I tried starting in safe mode - Chrome did not auto start that way.

    I am using version 1709, build 16299.125 and the problem started with the latest update.

    This only happens with Chrome.

    I don't want to uninstall because I have a lot of saved bookmarks and I would hate to lose those in the process.

    Thanks - does this help you narrow down where the problem is?
