I’m seeing a similar issue. I do have it configured to launch at login, but I have it configured to launch minimized. As of this update (1.19.0.11806) it’s launching with the window presented.
Did this last update break how it reads launch settings?
Similar issue here. Every time Windows 10 boots up to desktop, Battlenet launcher always opens up to the main screen even though it is set to minimize to system tray. Very very irritating.
Same here, except I don’t have the “launch Bnet when you start your computer” box checked at all.
Also Bnet is not on my list of startup programs in Task Maganer. Very weird, and dosconcerting. Plz fix @Blizzard.
Same here. App starts and is running when I boot my Comp. Checked all settings. Its defiantly set to not do this. Box is unchecked in setting and app is not even listed in my startup menus. I must say, Its sort of disturbing that this app can circumnavigate my computers settings and do whatever it likes. Can we get a blue response on this please?
This is happening with my app as well. This option is turned off in my settings and not set in my Task Manager to boot at the Windows startup. A bit disturbing to be honest.
Must be a bug in the recent update. Windows 10 is treating it the same as Chrome, so if you shut down or restart with the app still running, it “resumes” by opening it again.
If you want to avoid this, you need to exit completely (right click taskbar icon and pick “exit”) before shutting down.
I haven’t tested yet, but you might also be able to ENABLE startup launching, start task manager, go to “startup”, and then disable it there, but I think that might not be ideal (I’m not saying it can or will, but i can imagine it’s not great for the software).
I’m still having this issue as well, using MacOS. In my case, it used to open even though open at Login was disabled. Today the open at Login re-enabled itself, and now I can’t uncheck it anymore.
EDIT:
I fixed it myself, it turns out in the OS system preferences, there’s login options and if it’s enabled through that method, just right clicking in the dock won’t work. You have to go back to the system preferences to disable it.
I’m on mac as well, it’s not a log in item on the system preferences, and it’s not checked in the battle.net menu either, but it keeps loading up every single time I reset my computer.
Sometimes, with Macs when the Blizzard Application is docked, it won’t update properly, a clean reinstall should take care of this. Let’s check the version to ensure its up to date. Go to Blizzard > Settings in the App, then check the bottom left corner. You should see Version 1.20.3.11914.
