如何阻止Amazon Chime默认自动启动？

Ugh, that default "start on boot" setting for Amazon Chime is such a nuisance—wasting system resources without explicit permission is definitely frustrating. Let’s get this sorted out permanently, depending on your operating system:

Windows Solutions #

• Permanent Fix via Chime Settings
  Sometimes the setting might not save if you just minimize Chime instead of closing it fully. Try this:
  1. Launch Amazon Chime, click your profile icon in the top-right corner.
  2. Navigate to Settings > General.
  3. Uncheck the box next to "Start Amazon Chime when my computer starts".
  4. Critical step: Right-click the Chime icon in your system tray and select Exit (don’t just close the window). This ensures the setting sticks.
• Disable via Task Manager
  If the app keeps resetting the setting, use Windows’ built-in tool to override it:
  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Switch to the Startup tab.
  3. Locate Amazon Chime in the list, right-click it, and choose Disable.

macOS Solutions #

• Chime App Preferences
  1. Open Amazon Chime, then go to the menu bar: Amazon Chime > Preferences > General.
  2. Uncheck the box labeled "Open Amazon Chime at login".
  3. Quit Chime completely with Cmd + Q to save the change.
• System Settings Override
  If the app ignores your preference, use macOS’s native login items manager:
  1. Open System Settings > General > Login Items.
  2. Find Amazon Chime in the Open at Login section, click the "-" button to remove it from the startup list.

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian-Based) Solutions #

• Desktop Startup Applications Manager
  1. Search for Startup Applications in your app menu and open it.
  2. Find Amazon Chime in the list, uncheck the box next to it, or click Remove to delete the startup entry entirely.
• Terminal Quick Fix
  For command-line fans:
  1. Navigate to the autostart directory: cd ~/.config/autostart/
  2. Delete the Chime desktop file: rm com.amazon.chime.desktop

Extra Tip #

If the setting keeps resetting after Chime updates, just repeat the steps above—sometimes updates revert default settings. If you’re on Windows, try running Chime as an administrator when adjusting the setting to ensure it saves properly.
