Avast Secure Browser at PC Startup

Solved

Hello,
I often use Avast Secure Browser to connect to the Internet.
It works well.
However, this software starts up automatically when I turn on the computer.
And for some time now, not only does it launch at startup, but it also connects and displays the last visited page.
How can I stop this: the launch and display?
Thank you for your responses...

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 69.0.3497.100

    Hello,

    What is your version of Windows? (Windows 10, Seven...other)
    If you have Windows 10, I have a solution to propose.

    Avast Secure Browser may be launching at startup
    Check this by opening the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) in the Startup tab
    Disable it if you see it

    For the browser:
    The procedure (it’s the same settings/Options as Google Chrome)
    Open Avast Secure Browser
    Go to the three dots at the top right
    Go to → Settings
    Section → On startup
    Uncheck the box → Launch Avast Secure Browser automatically on startup


    In the section → New session
    Select → Open a specific page or set of pages
    Choose a URL of your choice
    For example Google → https://www.google.fr/


    Add a page


    Optional: Temporarily disable app execution in the background
    Still on the Settings page, scroll to the bottom and click on → Advanced settings
    Section → System (at the bottom of the page)
    Disable → Continue running background apps after closing Avast Secure Browser


    A+

      Hello, Pistouri.
      Thank you for your response, which seems complete to me.
      I have W 7.
      I read your response, but I must admit that I didn't understand everything.
      I will copy/paste it and take a closer look at it.
      Thanks again.

      The images will help you with the sections of the Avast Secure Browser

      Open the Avast Secure Browser

      1- Go to the Customize menu located at the top right (3 small dots)
      Then click on Settings


      For advanced settings, scroll to the bottom of the page


      Task Manager
      Note that you can also open the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Windows 7 taskbar and selecting the option → Start Task Manager.
