How to disable a process from auto-run at startup

[Guest]

Every time I start my computer, there's a process 'StarWindService.exe'
running. I know how to end the process after the computer starts but I
don't know how to disable it from aut-run at computer start up. Any
suggestion appreciated.

You might use SysInternals Autoruns to try & locate it. Sometimes
it will simply start as a service which requires use of the Registry
editor and navigate to the alphabetical Service listings at:
HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
-If found in services, you can disable by modifying it's Subkey called
Start to a value of 4.
Click Start, Run (Type) Regedit [Enter] to run Regedit. Registry
editing always has some risk involved so be careful.
AutoRuns found here:

That service belongs to the software product Alcohol 120% which you may
have installed on your machine. Disabling it may cripple some features
of that program.
