Browser starts at the startup

I have been getting this problem lately. At startup of OS, the services of a browser starts. At first, it was Chrome. I thought it was chrome at fault, but after uninstalling it, Firefox services started with startup. The whole window of Firefox doesn't start, only the services do.

The browser services aren't even in the startup tab

    That was worth a try. An upgrade/repair install is a powerful tool that fixed me once. I'm glad matters got no worse. For less anxiety, make a Windows system image backup before doing anything big. Want instructions?

    But I think Windows just one way or another wants modules to be loaded & ready for use even after the program that uses them is closed. It's meant to speed things up in case you open it again. And there's prefetch as well as you suspected. So, it's a feature -- & an upgrade/repair install cannot "cure" a feature.

    I am doing an in place upgrade now, and in the comments of the tutorial I was watching, one guy said that after doing an in place upgrade, they were not able to check for upgrades and upgrade their PCs from settings
