      Greetings! I'm experiencing an exasperating situation with Opera GX auto-starting despite disabling the option in the settings. This behavior is contrary to what I want, and it's driving me crazy. Any ideas on how to tackle this problem and regain control over the startup behavior?
      I've double-checked the settings and made sure that the start up with Windows option (Both Opera GX, msconfig and start up software) is turned off, but it still insists on launching itself when my PC boots up.

        On the startup tab in the Windows Task Manager, in addition to make sure launcher.exe isn't there (or is at least disabled), make sure browser_assistant.exe is disabled.
