I never have ExpressVPN automatically start with windows.
Now all of a sudden, its always there in my systray. I have to manually close it now?
I have looked in My start up folder to see if maybe there is a shortcut there? no…
I have checked the task scheduler to see if there is maybe an instruction for expressVPN? No…
What else can it be?
"Launch expressVPN at startup is Un-checked…
If anyone finds a solution Id like to know. Even after disabling all services in task manager, after a minute or so it restarts on its own without any notice.
I have found the solution.
You need to open the services menu in task manager and individually change startup type to manual for ExpressVPN App service, System service, as well as VPN Service.
Once you’ve updated the startup type, end the service from the service menu and then it should keep ExpressVPN from launching on its own.
I also have this issue. None of the settings fix it. It might be a bug. The next step for me is to reinstall.
I have this issue as well. It starts on startup even when I have it set not to.
This worked after a computer restart! No ExpressVPN background services automatically started on a fresh boot. And no issues running expressvpn with manual triggers. Background processes will still be present after launching/closing ExpressVPN, but stopping them seems to keep them closed. Thanks my dude.
Thanks this has really helped me too.
Yea I already have that unchecked.
I will maybe uninstall it and try a reinstall
Cheers!!
Not sure if the app updated. But it’s no longer happening from today.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Strange.
Never mind; it’s still launching for me.
