How do I stop apps from opening at login. I have gone to the preferences/users&groups/login items to uncheck. At first I was unable to get items to uncheck, but rebooted in safe mode. In safe mode, items are already unchecked and did not open. They were not open when I rebooted again, however, when computer restarted in normal mode, items opened at login once more.

I think there is a big misunderstanding:
Items that are unchecked in System Preferences->Users&Groups->Login Items
are STILL launched at login.
You need to select and remove from the list (press "-").
If you look closely, the checkbox reads "Hide" - a checked item is launched and hidden; an unchecked item is launched and not hidden.

From Within the Application(s) Preferences and see if there is an option to Not Open at Startup
apps "open at login" despite being unchecked on login items list
