On overwolf: Settings (gear icon on the top right) > General > Start Overwolf when Windows Starts
On curseforge: Settings (gear icon on the bottom left) > Curseforge (should be what it lands you on) > Exit CurseForge and Overwolf + Run CurseForge on startup
Quick Explanation: On overwolf we are making it so it doesn’t start when your computer starts and on curseforge the first we are making it so when you close curseforge you also close on overwolf and we are also stopping it from Starting when your computer starts (it will not change overwolf starting when pc starts when changing on curseforge but it will notify you about it)
Overwolf made my old PC so slow i eventually had to set up a new Windows install even after upgrading CPU and ram

Overwolf and Curseforge both suck. If you’re using it for Minecraft, I recommend using the modrinth launcher instead – has all the same features, but it’s open source and made by people who actually care about the modding community.

Overwolf is something you should just get rid of. I think it can be easily considered bloat ware now

Not to defend overwolf, but why are so many people not controlling what programs are allowed to start on their own during startup? Can’t stop you from shutting down if it never starts (unless you turned it on and never shut it down).
