Launcher Settings

Recently, Nexon Launcher has been running on my PC whenever I started it up so I went to the launcher settings of the Nexon Launcher and attempted to turn off "Run Nexon Launcher when my computer starts". However, if I close the settings tab and go back to the settings tab, the option seem to re-apply itself. Is there any fix for this problem I am having with the settings of Nexon Launcher. (This is happening to all settings not just that one).

    Are the changes being saved? There should be a small green dialog box that pops up when the change is saved.

    In addition, you can manually disable any program from startup using the Windows settings. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and open the Task Manager. Go to the "Startup" tab, right-click on the program you want to remove, and select "Disable".

    The green box pops up but the settings don't actually get saved.

    I can't confirm then, my setting save just fine. Try manually disabling the launcher via Windows settings.

    I can confirm the changes being saved is shown (but the changes aren't saved)

    for ex: usually i always had a check mark on the don't show dismissed Pop-Ups (after a recent update to the nexon launcher, adds always show, even after clicking multiple times on the don't show ads, and re-installing,re-starting, and even full-shutdown of the pc didn't fix it, so it's a problem of the launcher)

    so in short; the nexon launcher save feature doesn't work properly, and i even propose that the gamelauncher.exe (will be brought back, since that had no, or less problems then the current nexon launcher; even the developers, and while the game is on testing, the game being used with Gamelauncher.exe (AKA; Direct Launch)

    NEXON should have never forced us to use the buggy, and unstable/unusable NEXON launcher (which still feels like it's in Alpha)

    For some reason I don't see a startup tab in task manager, I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate.

    That'd be different, then.

    Go to the Start menu, select "All Programs", then click "Startup"
    Right click the program you don't want and select "Delete"

    If the program isn't in the Startup menu, do this:

    Press the Windows Key+R and type in "msconfig"
    Click on the "Startup" tab
    Uncheck the items you don't want
    Press "Ok"
    Restart your computer to finalize the changes
