Garuda Rani → App settings → disable “Auto-start application”.

If Rani still starts automatically, check the autostart entries in your system. And if you have the files org.garudalinux.rani.desktop and/or garuda-rani.desktop under ~/.config/autostart/, then simply delete them.

I deleted both files from autostart folder and now ok. The first option did not work for me. Thank you very much for the quick response with proper solution.
