Preventing Discord from Opening on Startup

There are several ways to stop Discord from launching automatically on startup, depending on your operating system:

  • Within Discord Settings:

    • Open Discord.
    • Go to "User Settings" (the gear icon next to your username at the bottom left).
    • Click on "Windows Settings" or "Linux Settings" (depending on your OS) in the left sidebar.
    • Find the option labeled "Open Discord when my computer starts" (or similar).
    • Toggle the switch to the "off" position. This directly controls Discord's%20Startup%20Behavior.
  • Using Task Manager (Windows):

    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    • Click on the "Startup" tab (in older Windows versions, it might be called "Startup Apps").
    • Locate "Discord" in the list.
    • Right-click on "Discord" and select "Disable." This manages Startup%20Programs%20in%20Windows.
  • System Preferences (macOS):

    • Go to "System Preferences" > "Users & Groups".
    • Select your username.
    • Click on the "Login Items" tab.
    • Find "Discord" in the list.
    • Select "Discord" and click the minus (-) button below the list to remove it from the macOS%20Login%20Items.
  • Systemd (Linux):

    • This is highly distro-dependent, and may not be the method Discord uses to launch at startup.
    • Check the .config/autostart/ directory in your home folder.
    • If you see a discord.desktop file, you can remove or edit it to prevent autostart.

By using these methods, you can disable Automatic%20Startup for Discord.
