How to stop Windows 10 from autostarting apps? [duplicate]
Windows 10 has been autostarting calculator, weather, movies & tv, store, xbox, and photos usually after login. It isn't in the task manager autostart list or in the task scheduler. Any help is appreciated.

Go to Start then Settings, select Privacy and click on Background apps. From there disable the apps that you don't want running in the background.
These apps don't start with Windows, that's why they don't appear in the autostart list or the task scheduler. They are called upon by the Windows Runtime that manages universal apps. Most of the time they only take up RAM and not CPU as universal apps are very limited in the amount of background tasks they can perform.
You can download and run Autoruns for Windows:
It is the most powerful program for viewing things that automatically run with Windows.
