MS Word opening at startup

[MconorK]

Word auto-opens when I start up.

There is no checkmark next to "Options > Open at Login" for the program.

There is a checkmark next to "System Preferences > General > Close windows when quitting an application"

There is no other option under "System Preferences > General" related to applications or windows. Similarly, there is no related option appearing under "System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options."

I'm at a loss

Make sure you don't have this checked when you shut down or restart:

You can check the following locations for apps that automatically launch on startup and delete any you don't need/want:

• System Preferences > Users & Groups > yourusername > Login Items (SL and older: System Preferences > Accounts > yourusername > Login Items)
• In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder > /Library/LaunchAgents
• In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/LaunchAgents
• In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder > /Library/StartupItems

​

After you delete items from the list, restart your Mac and those processes should not be running.
