How do I stop apps to open at Start Up on macOS Ventura 13.0 version? Hello everyone, I am going a little mad, can anyone please tell me how do I stop apps to open at Start Up on macOS Ventura 13.0 version? It's an iMac that I use. I have no idea why it bothers me so much but every time I open this computer it's a game of closing apps. Thanks for you help, Roxy

Apps launching when turning Mac on Hi everyone, I have issues with apps always launching when I turn my Mac on, even though I specifically unchecked the option "launch when turning Mac on" on each of the apps. Apps concerned include Libre office, WhatsApp, Joplin, Spotify, Mails... Some of these apps always launch, some others only occasionally. Clearly there is something I must be missing. I do always "shut down" my Mac after use so it is not an issue with just having it sleep. Thank you for your advices
