How to disable Illustrator CC 2019 from opening on startup

Hey all,

Recently replaced my iMac and done a Time Machine restore to get everything from the old iMac to the new one. 

Once the restore was done I updated Illustrator to CC2019 and now Illustrator opens up every time the iMac starts up.. even when 'Open at Login' is disabled :S

Done some googling and see plenty of help about Illustrator not starting but can't find anything about stopping it from starting >.<

Any help appreciated as this is driving my nuts.. I just don't need Illustrator opened every time I turn on my machine.

That is indeed a new one :-)

Your system is doing this. Illustrator cannot just start on its own, unless you have a haunted house. You might want to take a look at the start objects (or whatever it's called in your language in System preferences > Users & groups.

Or maybe there's an Automator process running.

It might be a good idea to ask in Apple forums.

Thank you, it was indeed a start up object but not Illustrator it was a random SVG file :S

Just tested and all back to normal.. YAY!
