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 Judy,

    Based on the information that you've provided, the said browser is still launching automatically even after making changes in the settings. To help you with this, we suggest that you check if the browser is listed on your startup programs and delete it. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + R.
    2. Type shell:startup in the Run dialog box, then press Enter.
    3. Locate the browser, then delete it.
    4. Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

    For any results, just send us a reply.
