No matter what applications a user prefers for any other task, Chrome is the top choice when it comes to web browsing. While almost everyone accepts the application, there are still downsides to the way Chrome functions on the PC. For instance, Chrome keeps opening on startup is one of the top issues users face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a browser is not a startup application that one may require, Chrome takes permission while installation to turn it ON. As a Windows user, you may know how heavy the Chrome application is on the RAM. Think of its impact on the PC\u2019s performance when the application launches at the startup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also why many users struggle with memory management on their PC. Hence the best practice is to stop Chrome from opening on Startup. But how? Well, there are multiple ways to do so, and in this post, we will discuss all of them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without further ado, let\u2019s get started with the fixes!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Effective Ways to Stop Chrome from Launching on Startup<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 1 &#8211; Disable Via Startup Manager<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s begin with the most basic way to handle startup applications, the task manager. You can easily open the Task Manager to find out which applications start when the system boots up. To manage these apps, all you have to do is &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to launch the Task Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11753 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/task-manager-2.jpg\" alt=\"task manager\" width=\"939\" height=\"653\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; You may find Startup Apps in the Task Manager in the left panel.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; Click on it to see which applications have startup launch enabled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17346 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/07\/task-manager.png\" alt=\"task manager\" width=\"606\" height=\"506\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; Select the apps by clicking on them to get the Disable option on the top bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17398 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Disable-option.png\" alt=\"Disable option\" width=\"206\" height=\"120\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5 &#8211; Spot the Chrome application and disable it from this list to stop it from launching on startup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/best-way-to-optimize-memory-and-manage-system-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Way to Optimize Memory and Manage System Cache<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 2 &#8211; Use Regedit to Change Chrome Startup Launch<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If removing the application from startup apps in the Task Manager did not do the trick for you, chances are that Chrome has made its way to the startup folder. This means a third-party application allows Chrome to auto-launch the registries, boosting the startup experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be required to change the registry editor to stop Chrome from doing so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Press Windows + R to bring up the Run search<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; Use the command Regedit to open the registry editor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16585 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/06\/type-regedit-command.png\" alt=\"type regedit command\" width=\"408\" height=\"212\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; In the registry editor, navigate to the following path:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Computer\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; If you find any files related to Google Chrome at the above destination, remove them instantly.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5 &#8211; Once you have removed the files from the above path, navigate to the path below to do the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 3 &#8211; Disable Background Apps and Extensions by Chrome<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the applications you have allowed on Chrome are why it launches at startup. You can remove Chrome from all the launching lists. However, if the background applications are enabled in Chrome, these applications will ensure that they run, resulting in an unnecessary launch of Chrom during the startup process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to handle this situation is to use the Chrome settings and disable it.
