Sorry if this kind of question isn't allowed here, but I'm at my wit's end. VB randomly started launching on startup about 2 weeks ago (on EndeavourOS) and I can't figure out why. There's no shortcut in ~/config/autostart, it isn't in the KDE startup apps list, and I can't find anything virtualbox-related with systemctl either. There's also no setting in the VB app itself. WTF?

It's not a VB problem. I have the same issue with other programs too in Endeveaour OS. It appears that when you turn off the machine sometime a program get "stuck" and will keep auto starting itself without reason. The first time it happened to me it went away after an update, but now I'm having Firefox and Strawberry starting themselves just because they feel it.

My hypothesis is that if you shutdown the machine without closing a program it gets stuck. How to get rid of it? I still have no idea

Interesting... Do you also use KDE?
