lmstudio should have an option to disable automatically running startup processes and should respect the user's choice to disable automatic startup on Windows (e.g., using the Windows task manager). The current behavior of re-adding disabled startup tasks when the app is opened or updated (I'm unclear about what exactly triggers this behavior) is an approach commonly used by malware and raises red flags.
