title: How can I turn off automatic start up of tomcat8 on windows
body: <p>I've running Apache Tomcat Server 7.0.56 on Windows 8.1. Whenever I start Windows up, I see <code>tomcat8.exe</code> listed as a process in the Task Manager window.</p>
  
  <p>I would definitely like to turn off this automatic startup and only start it up manually when desired. I don't find it in the "Services" tab so am assuming it's not installed as a service. </p>
  
  <p>I went to <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html#Installing_services" rel="nofollow">https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html#Installing_services</a> and there are example commands in the "Updating services" section referencing the parameter <code>Startup=auto</code> but these are only if apache is installed as a service, right?</p>
