Autodesk Desktop App, No option to not start on start up.

I need the developers to include an option to disable autostart for the Autodesk Desktop App. Thanks.

why? You can turn that off in WIndows https://www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-startup-programs-windows-10/

Or just uninstall it since you obviously don't wish to use it, it will not hurt anything and you can get your updates manually from the Updates link at your accounts page https://manage.autodesk.com/cep/#products-services/all

That is a horrible response. How do you know he is running win 10 at all? The idea " Just don't use it/Install it" Is total bogus. This issue has been brought up since 2014. Fours years ago. And the official response was that it was passed on to developers.

This should be standard. Clients should have control on what applications starts when without doing some complicated registry changes.

What is your operating system OP, i might help you out with instruction on how to disable auto start

What complicated registry changes? Just uninstall the offending app, like everyone in any OS can do all day long for that last 30-years now.

You are still missing the point.

Registry changes, auto startup, startup folder whatever the method: the autodesk client should have the option to disable autostart. The issue has already been brought up four years ago and still no changes. I believe that clients who paid for software should have control over its behavior. Not everybody is computer savvy and an option to disable auto startup should be standard. End of story.

What bothers me is that they lied to us saying that it would be implemented and it still isn't.

This is ridiculous. Uninstalling the app. This is a violation of user control.

On Windows 10, you can choose which apps to run on startup:

Not sure about previous versions of Windows since it's been a long time I used them but I remember there was a similar way of controlling it in Win 7 so must have also been possible in Win 8. If you are using an earlier Win version then I'm afraid it's not supported anymore.

Hope that helps...

Because we need it stored in hibernation for when Blender is effortlessly juggling 100,000,000 tris on screen in Eevee. For the other 1% of the time, we need it to comply with other 3ds max users.

Sorry for reviving this thread, but that does not work. At all. Unchecked Autodesk app, restarted, it was there. Unchecked again, went to another window in the settings app, came back, it was checked again. This is just not the behaviour I would expect from any program, I have other updaters and launchers installed, with the *OUTSTANDING* feature of being able to open them when *I* Need them, instead of bogging down the startup with something that most of the time just does nothing for no reason.

Yeah unfortunately same for me which is why I uninstalled. Just pretty frustrating.

Autodesk needs to learn something from this. And yes, even from Blender.

Autodesk bloatware checks licence use, collects user data and supposedly boosts performance. One useful thing: the software updates. That's still not a good enough reason to justify badly integrated clientware. Your software booting speed certainly pails compared to Blender's, and auto updates are a Blender specialialty, particularly on linux.

Your customers are in metaphorical pain. The cure is ease of use, accessibility and fun. All of which is free elsewhere. You have all the money in the world to do something about it.

Your lofty prices alienate most 3d artists, your bearacratic compliance measures kill productivity when license issues meet network trouble. Your bloated software bottlenecks the average user's pc performance. You are losing your loyal customers. The free alternative is already taken to the corperate sector, where waiting for software is even worse, particularly where companies are run overseas. People Never thought blender would be addopted at the corperation i work, yet here we are. You should know that there's more to this than money Art is bigger than you, the few in proprietary are outweighed by the many of opesource.

It's a shock to see you still resting on your lorels with this lack of standard user expectation. It is no longer enough that you are considered the industry standard. Your position is fading, your record of success is attached to this last thread of humility for the customers who sink thousands of dollars into your products.

In other words, stop placing profits on top, start placing PEOPLE on top. Who else but the people source your families income?

Either lift your game or prepare for an uncertain future.

You lost me some time ago, thenow but I'm a gold sponsor of Blender. Somehow the industry is still insists that your software experience is 'industry standard'. Don't make the mistake of losing them too.

Do it for your customers.

BTW no one here is Autodesk: you're just venting on a street corner downtown in rush hour traffic.

Try here instead (pick your software package) https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback

Sorry you think i care enough for autodesk to see this. This was what you
call an open letter... Who are on the streets? People. It's written for
people who are sick of this particular form of BS. No mistakes were made.

And much as I love the idea of rallying for something that Autodesk does
not deliver, I'd love much more for Autodesk get out of the way and make
room for the collective global power of innovation through open source
software. Besides, that is Autodesk's job and the job of users who think
Autodesk is still worthy of its industry standard title.
