How to stop Google Photos from launching at system startup? Google Photos starts every time I turn on my Macbook Pro. It is annoying and I believe it slows down the OS' startup speed. Is there a way to turn the launch at startup option off? I do not see it in Google Photos' preferences. It seems the only option is to uninstall it:
If it's listed in System Prefs > Users &amp; Groups > [yourname] > Login Items,
select &amp; hit the minus sign  -   underneath.
