    Initiated by you or Windows - at startup?

    If it's a start up launch control your start ups with Starter

    If it's a scheduled task such as an updater change the program preferences.

    If you initiated the launch just close it when loaded.

    Not aware of a keyboard shortcut to abort a launch.
