Autodesk sign in prompt at login with network licensed apps

[ProtovisionSunnyvale]

Greetings,

I recently created a Maya 2026 deployment, and pushed it out to a test computer.  Deployment worked great, however I'm noticing whenever a user logs into Windows (not having launched Maya at all yet) an Autodesk sign in prompt pops up.  Our Maya is licensed via a network license server which is working.  If you simply close the sign in pop up, Maya launches fine complete with network license.  What's causing the Autodesk sign in prompt at login, and can that be disabled?  Again this is with Maya 2026 network licensed.  Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the Autoruns to see what's triggering this?

I don't know anything about Maya, but I'm wondering if perhaps Access or Desktop Connector got installed with the install of Maya?  Those would require a login, so may be the cause?  Just a thought.

Thanks all for the replies.

The culprit was the Autodesk Flow Service being launched at login, and that's what was in turn calling up the Identity Manager login prompt.
Removed it from the startup folder – problem solved. 👍
