I have an APP the opens automatically from my top bar menu. How do I stop this APP from automatically opening from the top menu bar and how do I remove it permanently from the top bar menu without disabling the app?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
Some garbage apps will do that. There is no way to turn off their stupid interface they put in the status menu area.
If the app actually has a standard user interface, you might be able to disable the status menu item from its preferences.
If it puts that into the menu bar via a LaunchAgent, you may be able to remove the launchd plist from your user ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder. However, I have seen where removing the plist will prevent the app from loading. Garmin's app was like that. I just deleted the app and stopped using the Garmin. I don't know why developers choose to be idiots like that.

Command-click that icon and drag it out, or open the application's preferences and check for an option to remove it. If it puts the icon back and there isn't an option to disable that, contact its developer.
