How to remove all stardock products from startup

from Stardock Forums

I have been happily using almost all Stardock products for over 10 years.  Everything was fine until I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11.  Now I am having problems with at least 4 of your programs.   The most serious was that every time I ran file explorer Fences would crash my computer.   I had just installed Fences 4.  No change.  I am now concerned because the last time I had to shut off the computer because of this it entered disk repair during reboot.   Instead of uninstalling all the different programs I would like to just remove them from startup and put them back in startup when Object Desktop 11 or Windoblinds 11 is released.   I tried to do this with Task Manager, Free Task Manager, Winpatrol, Ccleaner, and Glary Utilities.   The only ones that I could find were Cursor and Fences.

Please tell me how to remove your programs from startup.   Thank you.

If you wish to remove Fences from your system try uninstall and reboot. If that don't work try purge, use this guide : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling. Most of other Stardock Software products have their own purge.bat which you can find in their respective FAQ section.

Note : If you just want they not to startup, you can disable Startup in your taskmanager "Startup tab". Refer screenshot below : Example : Disable it to set CursorFX not to startup upon boot.
