Discord opens without permission

Guilherme Tito

I have turned off the option for Discord to start with the PC, but it keeps opening regardless. It annoys me very much, especially when I am trying to work.

    I've had this issue for a long time with Discord. I want to assume the best of people, but it really seems like Discord purposely doesn't want to fix this because they want people always running Discord.

    The Autoruns tool shows where things autostart from in Windows -

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

    I checked it on my PC (Win11 23H2 10.0.22631 / Discord stable 308210 (396byac) Host 1.0.9152 x64 (49057)) and deleted the registry value causing it to run at Windows startup (run from elevated CMD or PowerShell) -

    reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v Discord /f

    *** PLEASE DISCORD CAN YOU FIX THIS LONG-STANDING ISSUE? THANKS! ***
