Ever since my most recent QuickBooks Pro 2018 update, this application has been starting automatically upon my logging into my Win 10 computer on which it is installed.  It it doing this despite the fact that I have disabled it in the task manager startup. 

Also starting is a splash screen that attempts to sell me on data services that I do not need.  I have also disable that in the startup options to no avail.

I have been a satisficed QuickBook users for more than 20 years and was even a QuickBooks consultant for a number of those years.  I have to tell you though the fact that I can't disable this behavior is really upsetting to the point that I'm ready to junk this software and go public with my discontent.
