Software that launches at startup cannot be removed!?

Hello,

I have the software "Multi-Screen Connect" that launches at Windows startup and I can't find how to stop it!
(Oppo software to connect my PC to my Oppo phone)
It doesn't appear in the Startup list of Task Manager...
As well as in my registry at
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I am on Windows 10 for another software (Linked Mobile/Link to Windows) I had this problem but by going through "Apps & features" and clicking on the software then "Advanced options" and disabling "Background app" this software no longer starts at startup as desired.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Did you check in this key?

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    Hello,

    I also have an Oppo smartphone.

    During installation there is a box to uncheck so that the application "Multi-Screen Connect" does not start at Windows startup.

    The detail :

    During installation, once the terms are accepted (I have read and agree...), you must click on --► Custom settings (Custom settings).

    And uncheck the box --► Launch at startup (Launch at startup).

    Think about it the next time you reinstall the application "Multi-Screen Connect"

      Thanks for the info!
      Indeed, for next time it will be useful, in any case I find it sly/annoying that it’s difficult to prevent it from loading at startup, especially when the software opens directly to your splash screen!

        The same principle applies to any software you install.

        Some software offers an option during setup (advanced installation or advanced settings as in the case of "Multi-Screen Connect"
         

        And sometimes it's in the software's own options.

        In short, you shouldn't click blindly during installation, but rather look at these small details (often at the bottom of the software) if there is an advanced configuration.
         

        By the way, this very morning I just received the update ColorOS 12 for my Oppo Reno 4 Z.

        (20 to 30 minutes to install, 9 steps to perform in summary)

        Display of the latest tech with additional options, but it's random as information.

        Good luck continuing.
