If you’re one of the unlucky few who have had their Windows 10 device start up automatically at startup, you may be wondering how to stop it from happening. Thankfully, there’s a quick and easy solution. To disable startup auto-open on your Windows 10 device, open the Settings app and head to System > Startup. Here, you’ll find an option to “Disable startup auto-open.” Select this option and click OK to save your changes. Now, when your Windows 10 device starts up, it will prompt you to choose whether or not you want to open your default application (usually the web browser). If you want to keep your default application open at startup but prevent your phone from opening automatically, simply repeat the steps above and select “Open default applications only when I manually choose them.” ..
The Your Phone feature in Windows 10 is a handy way to link your PC with your smartphone. Sometimes, Your Phone might keep popping up at startup when you don’t want it to. If so, there’s a way to disable the Your Phone popup.
First, open Task Manager. To do so, right-click your taskbar. In the menu that appears, select “Task Manager.”
In the Task Manager window, click “More details” if you start with a simple view, then click the “Startup” tab.
In the “Startup” tab, locate “Your Phone” in the list and select it. Next, click the “Disable” button in the lower-right corner of the window.
After clicking disable, you’ll see “Disabled” in the “Status” column beside Your Phone in the Task manager Startup list. When you’re done, close Task Manager. From now on, Your Phone will no longer launch on Startup.
