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.

    Hi,

    It can be a possible software conflict. To help you resolve the issue and for us to isolate the cause of the issue, try booting your PC in safe mode by starting up your PC using a limited set of drivers. It helps troubleshoot problems in the PC. You can also run an antivirus scan on your PC as it can also be a possible virus causing the issue.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    I've also experienced this exact thing, before the latest windows update it would never launch on start, but now it does and I find it annoying as chrome takes forever to load and it makes the whole startup process slow. For me; it's not even listed in the start up-tab in the taskmgr.

    Not only chrome, but since updating windows, Spotify has also started tagging along in the start-process, another slow to start-program and once again not visible in the task manager, you dun goofed microsoft.
