Hello. This isn't what I mean. I don't mind Facebook messenger running, but it automatically opens the Facebook Messenger chat window upon startup. I don't want the App to open this on to the screen on startup. It never did this before.

Hello Johnnyzenith,
Thanks for updating me with that information. Have you tried my suggested methods in my previous response?
When Messenger app opens at startup, it will immediately display the chat window.
I recommend taking a screenshot of the issue and post on your next reply.
Note: Don't include any personal information or sensitive data.
Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

HI John, I will check that, but I find that very poor design indeed.
Will this affect the way Messenger runs because I still need it to be ready to tell me about messages on startup. Also it never did this before so why now?

Hello Johnnyzenith,
Thanks for updating me with that information. I also have Messenger installed and I tried to set Messenger to run at startup. It opens immediately and displays the chat window. If this is not what you mean, I urge you to take a screenshot of the issue but make sure not to include any personal information or sensitive data.

Unfortunately my computer will not allow me to click the toggle. I can click the toggle below it but nothing happens when I try to toggle off Launch Messenger On Startup. What next?

Have you checked with Facebook, it's their app. Uninstall the app restart the computer then install it again to see if it's any different.

This is malware. Unacceptable behavior. After auto updating, Messenger added itself to startup and now launches a window every time you start up your system. This is not ok, but I expect that kind of non consensual invasion from facebook; however, it should NOT be permitted by microsoft. It's a security risk, on top of being morally abhorrent. This must be addressed.
I tried to submit a review on the microsoft store but the system is so broken that my review wont even submit successfully (it says "you cannot review this because you do not own this product" even while it's installed and running on my system - another failure), so there's no way to even publish these concerns as a user. This is deeply troubling. Everyone needs to go into the Microsoft store and report this app for privacy violations and malware.

Hi, I don´t know if this would be what you are looking for or if it would be of any help, but maybe try this:
Open the Messenger App on your computer, go to the upper left corner, click of the Messenger icon.
Hoover over "Messenger", than go over to "Preferences" and click on it.
This should open a new window and the second option there is "Launch Messenger on start-up".
If this option is active (blue) you should be able to disable it by dragging the bar to the left.
This should stop the opening of the app on Windows start-up.
At least this worked for me on my PC with Windows 10 Home :)
