    I can't find any relevant settings in preferences.
    Modify or remove the key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run doesn't help. It always get recreated.

    So I guess, there is no way to turn this off?
    What's a stupid decision

    Just wanted to share that the Hub does not autostart with Windows sign-in.

    It does! Hub writes a registry key into HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, named "com.unity3d.unityhub", pointed to "C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\Unity Hub.exe", which makes it start after login.

    I don't use Unity everyday, so I have to manually delete that key everytime I opened Hub.
