No matter what I try, the Stocks App insists on opening in the background when I'm on my Mac. I can force quit, but it just comes back a little later. What's going on?

It's the Stocks APP, thanks. I didn't even know there was a StocksWidget. That seems to be open in Activity Monitor as well but doesn't appear in Force Quit list. Every time I restart, and usually when I wake the laptop up, Stocks reappears.
I'm old-fashioned. I don't use widgets.
Please provide a Screen Shot from Activity Monitor >> View >> View All processes
Make sure to capture the 1 - Stocks Application and 2 - Stocks Widget that appear in Activity Monitor

The " Stocks " application is one of those few builtin applications
When the User ( you ), clicks the Red Button on the Streetlight of the application
The Stocks application will Closed Completely
The application, will not automatically Re-Launch itself without there being some type of expressed Interactions between the user and the application - full stop
Let's put it this way. Even if I close/quit the Stocks app, which I know is built-in, by the way, I've always been aware of that – when I restart the laptop, or whenever it goes to sleep and wakes up, the Stocks App appears in FQ. All I want is to find how to stop that, or perhaps even if it's possible.
thanks for trying anyway.

I'm not sure you entirely believe me! :)
The answer to your question is here:
But only the Stocks APP appears in Force Quit (and immediately on startup)

Have to ask if you please
The Stock Application or the Stock Widget ?
They are Not one and the same.
Add and customize widgets on Mac
The Widget may appear " To open Notification Center, click the date and time in the menu bar or swipe left with two fingers from the right edge of the trackpad. To close it, click anywhere on the desktop. "
You can also Remove the Widget
Remove widgets from the desktop
