EAC Running on startup but services says otherwise ???

ive been noticing a trend since the past couple of days in which every time i startup my PC Easy Anti Cheat is all ready running and gobbling up about 25% of my CPU usage.. reported as high usage. i dunno why its doing this and im not comfortable with it starting up on its own without even launching a single game.. this is just at boot

anyone know of a way to disable this process at startup even tho services say that its on a manual startup ???

It depends, if its the Epic Games Launcher thats using the Easy Anti Cheat, then click your name on the bottom left of the Epic Launcher > Settings > disable Run on startup

Screenshot your entire Details tab on Task Manager, also the Startup tab

Download Autoruns by Sysinternals extract it, and run the one that says "Autoruns64.exe" wait for it to load all the items, and screenshot all of them, also dont try to disable anything on ur own

that screenshot is directly on startup. EGS is never ever running on startup. this issue has started to happen since installing archeage
