Do you have a camera or on iPhone or iPad connected to a USB port? Photos may start automatically, if a camera is connected or a card reader with a USB card plugged in. If a connected photo device is the problem, disable "Open Photos for this device" in Photos, when it launches.

Hi, Kenneth,
Go to System Preferences/Users and Groups. Click on the Login Items tab and check to see if you have Photos listed as a login item. If it is, it will open automatically upon login. You can remove it by selecting it and clicking on the Remove button. See if that solves your issue.

Thanks, I’d been looking for that location with no luck, but I don’t have anything listed there as a login item.
Thank you!
I believe that solved it. I keep my iPhone tethered via USB as a mobile hot spot.
I found and unticked a small checkbox near the top of the Photos window. Seems to be working.
You're welcome 😊
