Hi vasugy,

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community


Wondering which apps / folders / documents are opening windows on start-up.


You may want to check Apple Support's article to see what needs changing:


Open items automatically when you log in on Mac :

Eg: Add or Remove automatic items

Else if they are Safari windows you may need to check Settings there:


Eg: Safari > Preferences > General >

see what is set at the top ... "Safari opens with".

(eg: "All windows from last session" or "A new window" etc.)


All the best :-)
