Posted in FACEIT— 1 min read
If you're tired of FACEIT launching automatically every time you start your PC, you're not alone. Thankfully, disabling it from startup is a simple process. Here's how:
Steps to Disable FACEIT on Startup:
- Look for the small upward arrow (^) in the bottom-right corner of your Windows taskbar.
- Click it to reveal hidden icons.
- Look for the FACEIT icon in the system tray. (If you don’t see it, make sure FACEIT is running.)
- Right-click the FACEIT icon.
- Uncheck the option "Launch on Startup" (or similar wording).
That’s it! FACEIT will no longer start automatically when you boot your computer. If you ever want to enable it again, just repeat these steps and check the box.
Alternative Method (Using Task Manager)
If the option is missing in the system tray, you can disable FACEIT through Task Manager:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Click on the Startup tab.
- Find FACEIT Client in the list.
- Right-click it and select Disable.
This will prevent it from launching automatically.
