Sorry for the basic question but I'm having an issue where an ignition project I have downloaded onto my Windows 10 PC seems to launch automatically upon signing into my Windows account. Where can I go to turn this off? Is it a local setting or a setting I need to change in the project itself?

Ignition doesn't do this automatically. Someone has configured your local machine to do this.

Look for Windows startup directory entries, or in Task Scheduler.
