Prevent sound control panel opening at startup

[alecchalmers]

Whenever my computer starts up it loads/displays the sound control panel. I cannot find what is causing this, possibly something in startup processes but I've had a look and I can't tell which one.

It's just one of those little annoying things, but any help would be greatly appreciated because I use my laptop for work presentations and ideally I'd like it to look very professional and not be flooded with popups etc.

If ccleaner is installed go to tools/startup. Bottom right. Copy and paste whats there in here

If you have win 8 or 10 just open up task manager, go to the startup tab, it should be listed if it is disable it.

The only one I think it could be is maybe the Realtek Semiconductor processes, but I was thinking I shouldn't turn these off because they came with the laptop as default software. Trying to research if they actually do anything now.

Here's the ccleaner info:
