Apps launching when turning Mac on

Hi everyone,

I have issues with apps always launching when I turn my Mac on, even though I specifically unchecked the option "launch when turning Mac on" on each of the apps.

Apps concerned include Libre office, WhatsApp, Joplin, Spotify, Mails...

Some of these apps always launch, some others only occasionally.

Clearly there is something I must be missing.

I do always "shut down" my Mac after use so it is not an issue with just having it sleep.

Thank you for your advices

Any apps left open when shutting down will reopen unless you uncheck "Reopen…"
