Weird problem with opening the game.

Hi so I just came across the weirdest thing I ever witnessed. I donwloaded DAO like normal from the EA PC App. Somehow the game starts itself on startup AND ONLY THEN. I tried to turn it on normally from desktop/app and it just didn't start. Anyone has any idea what had caused it and how to fix it? I do have it modded but I played with the same set of mods before and never had an issue like this.

    Its possible that the "daorigins.exe" is set to run at startup

    This might be because of a entry in the Task Scheduler or a shortcut of the exe in the Startup folder. (Press the Windows key and R at the same time and copy and paste "shell:startup" (without the quotes) into the Run command line > ENTER)

    There are other ways to start a application automatically as well. 
    Do other people use this system? 
    Did you preformed a full malware and virus scan?
