I imagine a world in which NO APP can just add some BS process that auto-starts when I sign in to Windows. And that these apps must ASK me first. EVERY TIME.

And my answer will always be the same. NO. A million times no.

Screw you, Spotify, Discord, Xbox, Teams & so many more.

@thurrott I once wrote a VBScript (and later a PS script) that would stop processes and automatically remove items from the "startup" registry key, and folder, that I did not authorize. Then I put THAT script in the registry key.
