  1. Word opens upon Windows startup


    In the last few days, WORD has opened upon Windows startup. I've checked startup in Task Manager and Word is not there. Windows 10 is updated. I've run a virus scan. The only solutions I can find are from 2017. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & be safe.

    :)

    Win 2016 word automatically launch on Windows 10 startup

    I have tried these two options below but they did not work.Any Ideas----------------- Steps to disable startup programs in Windows 10:
    NOT IN START UP FOLDER


    1. Step 1: Click the lower-left Start button, type msconfig in the blank search box and choose msconfig to open System Configuration.
    2. Step 2: Select Startup and tap Open Task Manager.
    3. Step 3: Click a startup item and tap the bottom-right Disable button.
    I have done this in reverse and it does not work—meaning I took out word short cut

    First, create a shortcut of the Document and place it on (say, Desktop).

    Then, go to the following location:

    Your Drive:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Drop your Shortcut into the Startup folder. However, when you cold boot your computer, your Desktop will first show up and then a few seconds later the Doc should appear.

    Word opening automatically on startup (windows 10)

    Hello,

    We appreciate that you post your concern here in the Community. On the other hand, there is another way of adding or removing a program on the startup. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you verify if the
    Word application is included in the list of programs in the
    Startup
    folder of the system through the File Explorer
    and then delete it. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, type File Explorer, and then press
      Enter.
    • On the File Explorer window, click the View tab > Options > Change folder and search options > View tab.
    • Select the Show hidden files, folders, and drives option under the
      Advanced settings section and click Apply > OK
      to save the changes.
    • Go to this folder path: C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
    • On the Startup folder, click the Word application, and then press the
      Delete key on your keyboard.
    • Once you’re done, you may check if you’re able to remove the program from the startup.

    Note: You may be prompted for an administrator password and confirmation of the changes that require administrative rights. Provide the password and confirm to proceed. Please make sure that you follow the steps with care to avoid any
    issues.


    Keep us updated about your concern for additional assistance.
