After the latest Windows 11 Update, OneLaunch keeps popping up every time I use the computer, even though I exit every time! IT IS VERY IRRITATING!!! How do I stop it?!? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm Sumit, here to help with your query on the Microsoft Q&A forums.
Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.
What exactly does the popup say? Did it fail to load?
Please press the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keys.
Go to the Startup tab.
Turn off the app from there.
If it does not exist, let me know.
Thank you, Sumit! In the Task Manager, OneLaunch itself wasn't listed, but
OneLaunchUpdaterProxy.exe was.
After Disabling it, and Rebooting the machine, it seems to have solved the problem.
Thanks again! Anton

Thank you!
This worked for some time, but after the latest update it started popping up again!!!
The Setings - Startup & Wake option does not show up! Very frustrating again!
What to do now?!? Thanks again!

Hi Anton Teodorescu,
I understand how frustrating this is, especially when it keeps returning after Windows updates.
Since disabling OneLaunchUpdaterProxy.exe only works temporarily, I recommend trying two things next:
1. Fully uninstall OneLaunch
Because OneLaunch is a third‑party app (not part of Windows), updates may re‑enable its components.
2. Test with a new Windows user profile
This helps determine whether the issue is tied to your current user profile (startup items, background tasks, or settings).
To create a new user profile:
If OneLaunch does not appear in the new profile, the issue is likely specific to the original account and we can focus on cleaning it up there. If it still appears, then OneLaunch is being triggered system‑wide.
Please let me know what you find and I’ll be happy to help further.
Thank you! This seems to have worked.
It also answers my other question - why would a vendor design an application that forces itself upon you?
I didn't really want to uninstall it (was using it occasionally), but if that's the only way to stop it...
Thanks again.
Hi Anton Teodorescu,
I’m really glad to hear that helped.
Apps like OneLaunch may add startup or background components that re‑enable themselves after updates, so uninstalling is often the only reliable way to stop it if there’s no built‑in option to turn it off.
If you need it again later, you can always reinstall it.
Thanks again for following up, and please feel free to reach out if anything else comes up.
Best regards.
Hi Anton Teodorescu,
Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Q&A, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the frustration OneLaunch has been causing. I understand how disruptive it can be when an application keeps appearing unexpectedly, especially after a system update.
To help resolve this issue, here are a few steps you can take:
1. Disable OneLaunch from Startup:
-Open OneLaunch.
-Click the three-dot menu on the dock.
-Select Settings > Startup & Wake.
-Toggle “Launch on Startup” to Off.
This should prevent OneLaunch from launching automatically when you start your computer.
2. Uninstall OneLaunch (if preferred):
If you don't use the app and want to remove it completely:
-Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
-Locate OneLaunch, click the three dots, and select Uninstall.
Please keep me posted on how it goes, and feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance. I'm here to help.
