In reply to AJ. Because I don't want to reopen the application which is left open.

When you go to shutdown deselect the check box that says “Reopen windows when logging back in”

Thanks, dear Guido for Nice comment.

There is another solution as well. If you can’t exit the apps on start up. Before doing anything, you should quit those apps that you don’t want to pop up on start up.

Hi, if like me you have followed these instructions and still have applications opening at startup, then you need to remove stuff from these folders:
1) /Library/LaunchAgents
2) /Library/LaunchDaemons
3) /Library/StartUpItems
You can find details here : macpaw.com/how-to/remove-startup-items-in-osx.
Cheers,
Guido

if you shutdown with apps open(with a dot beside them on the dock), they will auto open when you boot.
dont just close the app, quit it by right clicking the icon in the bar. that should solve problems with DDLEITE’s issue.
also, check the setting/preferences in some apps(adobe cc for example) and make sure its not set to start at boot/login.

In reply to Mukhtar Jafari. Yes, it works, but it's not really ideal. What's the reason for certain apps not showing up under users and groups?

As have been mentioned by others, I also have problems with applications starting up on their own at login, without being listed in login items under users and groups. To stop these apps from running, I have to go into that app’s settings and untick the box. How do these apps avoid the system’s default way of handling login items?

In reply to DDLEITE. Make sure you've logged in with the same user that show startup apps. It's the same way that you can remove the startup apps.
