Here's a perfect example. I just searched because just recently Microsoft Office made one of Microsoft's typical changes without asking about something they have absolutely no reason for doing. I's sure it was due to a recent Office update. Suddenly Word just began starting up automatically!
I checked scheduled tasks and disabled the automatic updates for office there. I also checked in the Apps folder to see if they had stuck something in the Windows Startups, but nope. I read check the Word Options and turn off the display startup screen. That did nothing. It still starts up. I ran System Internals' Autoruns and didn't see anything in the Longons. When I close it and check the task manager, there's nothing there recognizable as well.
Even all you Microsoft trained sycophants should ask yourselves why in the world do you have to go through a million different hidden ways to get at some **** like this Microsoft has pulled. What possible benefit to the user is it for Word to start up automatically?! If the user wants it to run, she can just start it up. ****?
Anyway, after a ton of searching, I came back here to the Community Forum and searched on word starting automatically. Here's one titled "Windows 10: Word automatically opens on startup." Word opening automatically on startup (windows 10).
It was asked in December 2017, never resolved, 1240 people with the same question, unresolved, locked. Add me, so 1241.

This one was asked in December 2017, 568 people had the same question. It was also never resolved, locked, and blocked from anyone even adding they had the same question. What the blazes is going on with the people who moderate this?
Look, I know your volunteers and hope to do your best to help, but there's something wrong with Microsoft. Every time they do some change that doesn't need to be done (that seems to be standard operating procedure over there), they just cram it down users' throats. We all know there are redundant hundreds of ways to get to the same point in the Windows OS. If something isn't hidden in one place, it's hidden in another.
It's wildly frustrating to have to go through all this when someone gets a bug to do one of these idiotic things. We go through ALL of your suggestions. None of them work. We're often finally forced to find a way to edit the registry which of course Microsoft doesn't support and can often mess up something else.
And the question is still not answered or resolved. This wasn't just an issue in 2017. I've had Office since before then. This garbage just began AGAIN in 2020. Ask. Track it down. Microsoft just did this in a recent Office update. The HUGE unanswered question is WHY? Everybody is getting tired of their hamhanded bullying, blocking competition's apps from their store, bundling their own inferior products, never asking before they make extensive anti-competitive changes to default user set handler apps to force their own on us.
Oh, and here's the most idiotic, shill answer. Get this, this is given as THE ANSWER!
"In Word, click File | Account | Update Options | Update Now regularly, to get the update that fixes this problem as soon as it has been released.
Also, make sure that you get patches for Windows via Windows Update."
That's the LAST thing you ever want to do. Do your research. Microsoft has a horrible history of totally "effing" things up with their updates. After it breaks your computer and you have to go through Dante's Inferno to fix it, you're expected to wait for an update that fixes the mess they created in the first place!
GOOD GOD! THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER
