Exactly what the title says. It's a service I don't want or need, and I don't want it to run. I have looked for the entry in Startup Apps in Task Manager, it doesn't show up. I've tried turning it off in settings, it still runs. I have even tried editing the registry key, and IT STILL RUNS. I've exhausted the suggestions I could find online. I even put the CrossDeviceResume.exe file in the recycle bin. THAT stopped it, but Windows got mad because it couldn't find the executable, which means it has an auto-start SOMEWHERE. HOW DO I KILL THIS THING. I don't want to have to "End Task" every time I start up my laptop! (Edited to include screenshot)
