    Yea it does. Bring up task manager and go to the startup tab. There will be an item there called git something-arather. Disable that item and discord doesn’t start with windows.

      Oh, so they’re just insidiously hiding what you actually need to disable? You understand that’s worse, right?

          If they were just being informative they wouldn’t have led with “yeah it does”. Or they would have phrased it differently.

        … I just disable it in their settings without issue.

        Reminds me of OneDrive hiding their don’t start with Windows option.

        It’s such a fetch thing to do now.

        I mean, there are a lot of other apps that put their start-up behavior here, too. And there’s a setting in Discord not to start at boot

        Largely I agree that their platform is cancer, but not because of their startup settings
