I turned off launching Fing on boot in preferences, but it's still launching on boot.  What else can I try?

    When you have auto start disabled in the app, have you looked at Windows task manager / startup and if you have, is Fing still listed?

    Oh, the problem might have solved itself - just tried another restart and this time it didn't reload.  Maybe took a little while for my preference to sink in ;)

    Hi, how do you reach the menu option to disable fing on bootup, shouldn't it be the default.  Not the I don´t like, but Been using Fing for years now started to get used to it thru the mobile cellphone, thanks in advance I read you!!

    Click on the Version number on Fing desktop and it will take you to the Preferences page where you can disable settings.
