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

    MpKslDrv.sys file not found. I researched on it (*binging) and found that it is some file to secure the system from new malwares. 

    i am suspicious on these:

    Neither do I know. Well, caution is certainly appropriate...

    (1) Use the Options menu to "Hide Microsoft Entries", if you like Microsoft.

    (2) If an entry says "File not found", it's just taking up space & costing a nanosecond/so for Windows to consider it during boot. It probably is a remnant of a sloppy uninstall. You may...

    (a) Uncheck it at left to disable it. Then you've got your nanosecond back.

    (b) Right-click it, & select Delete. It's gone -- you've got your nanosecond & your space.

    I clicked Search Online on that (atmfd,dll) & discovered Microsoft did work on it due to a security vulnerability. I searched in File Explorer to see the file indeed didn't exist. Then I deleted the entry, (as I had deleted a bunch before).

    (3) If an entry is for an app you've uninstalled, probably it is a remnant left over & can be at least disabled (unchecked). But best do the Search Online.

    Now that's the problem. I don't know which one is needed and which one isn't 😅

    See how many there actually are? Use Find in the Entry menu if you don't immediately spot the offenders.

    Careful you don't turn a thing off that needs to be on.
