If you have recently installed or updated uTorrent for windows. You would have noticed that nowadays it starts on its own.
I used to disable uTorrent auto startup by disabling it in startup applications. But it does not work anymore.
Method 1
Step 1.
Open uTorrent
Start>
Step 2.
Type uTorrent
Step 3
Menu Bar>Options>Preferences
Step 4
General>Windows Integration>Uncheck Start uTorrent when Windows Starts
Step 5 Click on Apply button>Ok
Method 2
If method 1 did not work for you. You can use another method to disable uTorrent application.
Step 1: Stop uTorrent application
Open taskmanager
Press win(Windows key) + r > Type taskmgr
Step 2
Stop uTorrent in Process
Step 3
You have to remove a helper application that comes with uTorrent installation.
Go to helper directory in your computer.
C:\Users<your-user>\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\helper
AppData
Note: AppData folder is hidden in windows
Go inside your user folder. Then, enable show hidden folders.
Note: "Your user" depends on the name of the user when you login in your computer.
You will have to go inside the directory. It will be present inside your user directory.
Inside this helper directory there will be a helper.exe file, delete it.
Done!
uTorrent will not bother you anymore.
