Applications launch on log in

Some applications always open anytime I restart or turn on my MacBook. I have gone to options on the application icon and made sure the "open at login" command isnt active and yet these applications still open. Please can anybody help me?

MacBook Air, macOS 12.6

In addition to the solid advice by P. Phillips: some applications may install “agents” or “daemons” that work in the background and may launch the main app without user intervention.


If after following P. Phillips advice, there are still applications launching at login, please tell us which applications they are. And Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.

Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.

This will tell us about the agents and daemons.
