Startup Manager won't stop Google Chrome from starting

[got5ieb]

I bought this ( ASC v7 ) partly to stop Google Chrome from starting at startup of computer. I want to try Google Hangouts but can't tolerate this auto Chrome feature. It is not listed in my "startup" file, which is empty. Chrome has no option to choose when it starts. I tried adding Chrome .exes to startup manager and disabling them. That didn't work. I don't really want to take my computer in to a tech for $100 fee to fix this.

Hangouts and Chrome are different products. Please specify what starts up without permission. Is it Chrome or Hangouts? Also do send the screenshots to help solve your problem.

Hi got5ieb

 

Sorry you are having an issue. However the issue s quite common and there is no need to spend any hard earned dollars on a trip to the shop.

Please see this link as it may help with your problem.

Chrome is the issue, and screen shots are not always necessary to resolve an issue.

But from where did Hangouts come into chrome as they are different programs by same manufacturer.

Or are you saying about the plugin

I only mentioned Google hangouts as reason for not deleting Google Chrome.

True, had forgotten to check msconfig. All of Google is unchecked same as my printer and other things I rarely use.

Where is Google Chrome hiding that it always starts on startup, even before Avast! ( my anti-virus )?

I don't use Chrome but I believe it adds tasks to the Scheduled Tasks folder. Check there and see when it is scheduled, it might be scheduled at log-in.

I don't know if you can permanently delete the task, Chrome might put it back again next time you launch it or probably when you update it

 

All the best, woz of oz

Hi Got5ieb,

i believe Woz is on the right track.

yes Chrome will replace any deleted folders/tasks it finds when it auto updates.

 

But

you MIGHT be able to change the triggers and fool Chrome.

see screenshots

control panel>admin services>Task scheduler>library

select all google listed highlight and click on it and right click>properties>triggers>edit>uncheck enable.
