    How to disable Sticky notes automatic start?


    I don't want that sticky notes starts automatically when logging in. I've tried the steps on this page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...6-76700ddec51b but it doesn't help. I've also tried uninstalling the app but it keeps reinstalling.

    What can I do?

    My build number is 18362.1082.

    Very strange.

    Did you try re-setting Sticky Notes in the Advanced options of Apps & features first, then performing the change of DWORD, and finally Restarting?

    I hope this helps!

    Yes, that is exactly what I did. It did not work.

    Download install and run Auotoruns from MS (free).

    It shows everything that loads on startup. If Sticky Notes is being launched directly from a startup location then the Find option in Autoruns should find it.

    If it's launched somehow by something else, it won't.

    If you perform a clean boot (Google or see tutorial if unsure how) does it still launch?

    Conversely, this is how to get Sticky Notes to launch like that:

    I think you've already seen this:

    Thank you. The tool showed that there was a shortcut to it in the Startup folder of the Start Menu. I removed it and it worked.
