Disabling Backup

When I turn on my Windows 8.1 computer backup begins automatically even though I had pressed the stop backup button before closing. Is there a way to disable or stop backup from occuring at startup permanently?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

You should be able to prevent the software to load up through the System configuration.

I do understand that I can do that but I wanted to keep the feature that Smart Ware has that lets me shut down the hard drive after a specified amount of time.I have removed Smart Ware from startup but then the shutdown feature doesn’t kick in.

Maybe there is no way to have it both ways.
