Why does my Turbo Tax program launch itself automatically?

The program launches by itself

What do you mean?   

Are you using the CD/download version installed on your computer?

If so, Mac or Windows?

I am using the CD / download version on a Windows 10 PC.

I boot up the computer and, within a few minutes, the program opens with no action to do so taken by me. I close the program. It will then open itself up again. Sometimes in a few minutes; sometimes it will take longer.

I have gone into the update settings and turned off all automatic updates / downloads.

That sounds like a Windows feature.    I am a Mac person, but Mac allows a user to specify specific programs to start automatically after a reboot.    Probably Windows does also.

(A quick search turned up this MS link for startup apps)

Sorry, that's not it.

I am familiar with this Windows feature and it was the first thing I checked.

Also, that would not account for it auto-launching over and over.

see if there is a listing for TT in Windows Task Manager. TM can start programs automatically and there are numerous criteria which can be set which will restart the program.
