Hi,
I'm using BlueStacks and OS is Windows 7.
I tried msconfig & services but failed to stop BlueStacks from auto startup each time I turn my PC on.
Is there any way ?

Install CCleaner and try to disable/delete bluestacks from the startup tab.

I used CCleaner but not working.
If I delete from msservices then stop from startup at next boot.
But,if I run BlueStacks gain then it will startup gain at next book.
Could not find any permanent solution except above process.

Blue stack is adding itself again to start up list. You have two options:
Either find a way to disable startup from within the preferences in settings in blue stack software. Usually software have such option inbuilt.
Or don't delete the startup entry, just disable it.

Start- type "Services" -in services, locate BlueStack - right click it - in Startup type dropdown box , select Manual start.

Now bluestack will start only when you open it.

That could be due to registry entries. Try the above solution.

I set manual start for all bluesatcks services from msservices except disable the update.
But,still not working.
Then again did same and this time I kill the 'HD-Agent.exe' after closing bluesatcks.
At next boot bluestaks did not autostart.
So,I have to kill 'HD-Agent.exe' every time before shutting down PC.
