Meta Horizon Link launches on startup. It should not do this.

Question

The quest app is persistently launching on startup. I have checked the apps settings and followed steps here:

I have set all them to not launch on startup. Why is there no setting in the app to just disable this. I absoloutely do not want this app launching on startup.

Meta Horizon Link Version 83.0.0.333.349 (83.0.0.333.349)

You can try the methods posted here:

Turn off this setting in Windows. The Link services will still run on startup, but it will stop the client app from running.
Or search the forum for a more complicated hack if you need to disable all the services, there is one from a few months ago.

You need to make a .bat file to kill the Link VR services like 007x007 posted in that thread. That stops Link from starting with your PC.

This also did not work, the "register program for restart" box was already unchecked.
