Alfred Preferences opens when I log in

[Kuze32]

every time I start my Mac, the preferences page opens this is extremely annoying how do I get Alfred to launch in the background and not have the preferences pad not open... please help!

@Kuze32 Alfred doesn't have to be launched in the background, as under normal circumstances, nothing should show when starting him. The only reason Alfred's preferences would open is that Alfred hasn't been able to commit (or re-read) the current build number from the macOS prefs file.

 

Could you paste the following into Terminal and let me know the output:

 

defaults read com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred lastBuildNumber

I figured out through clean my Mac had somehow added the preferences to start at log in.
