Google Chrome ALWAYS launches on restart

I have taken Chrome out of my login items countless times but EVERY TIME I restart my computer, Chrome launches. And when I go and check my login items, it is back in there. I use Chrome for a small handful of things so I need to keep it.

How do I make this stop?

Chrome keeps adding itself to startup when I login Every time I open up chrome it adds itself to the auto startup at logon list. I then have to remove it and then next time I open chrome it adds itself again. There is no open at login or anything selected. Chrome is just acting like some annoying malware. It also seems to do this on every mac device I own. I'm running MacOS Ventura 13.0.1

Chrome keeps adding itself to startup items Hi, Coming from the thread When I start up iMac, Chrome automaticall… - Apple Community I saw that the answers didn't work for me. The solutions offered was to right click on Chrome icon and uncheck "open at login", and removing Chrome from system prefs > users > login items. However, after a couple of startups Chrome adds itself to the login items again. I've done this at least a dozen times but it just keeps coming back. This started happening on every startup since I've checked Chrome as default browser. I'm using a 27" iMac late 2015 with Mojave 10.14.6 Thanks.
