Chrome adding itself to login items.

Since updating my MacOS to Ventura 13.0, every time I open Chrome, I get a System Settings notification that Chrome has been added to my login items.

The suggestions to remedy this problem involve removing Chrome from login items, but I am already logged in to my computer when this is happening: it's not that Chrome is opening itself at startup. It's that it's ADDING ITSELF to the startup menu every time I open Chrome.

I immediately remove it from the login items, but the next time I start Chrome, it adds itself to the login items.

How do I fix this? I have not found any settings in Chrome or in the Ventura 13.0 system settings that fix this.

Mac mini 2018 or later

Hello All,

I had the same issue with Chrome and apple support unable to provide a solution. they didn't even know where to look for the issue. After multiple investigations and cracking the Ventura/Chrome codes, I think I found the solution... It worked for me 100%.. I restarted the machine and launched Chrome

If you have Chrome app added to the dock, remove it.
Check all your extensions on the chrome. there might be some extensions that you have provided access for startup.. Remove all extensions..
Close Chrome and clean-up your login startups one last time..
Restart Chrome and let me know if it works...

Thanks and happy holidays.
