Forced to start up on boot.

Why is this happening? This is happening with Windows Terminal too. Is there a registry key / entry in group policy that is forcing this? It's also locked in windows settings.

Hey @sarahkittyy! Thanks for using FluentTerminal :)

I think you're right in thinking that this isn't a FluentTerminal issue. It's probably, as you've surmised, a Windows policy or something.

There's a policy in [User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon] called "Run these programs at user logon". I'd start by checking that.

It's also less likely that there's a logon script. You can find that in [User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff)]. (There's also a system-wide policy under Computer Configuration).

A bit less likely, since it explicitly states, "Enabled by policy," is the registry. You can find the startup items in the following hive: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Let me know if anything here helps!

@hanskokx Yeah, you're right, none of those settings existed though, however I've just entirely reinstalled windows at this point and that has fixed the issue. Painful, but necessary.
