Mystery Startup Applications

On my MacStudio there are applications that start up when on login. I need to these not to be. No applications show up at: System Settings => General => Login Items Where else is there to look?

The startup apps that are opening are:

  • iPhone 14 Pro simulator
  • Activity Monitor

I believe the simulator is opening because I have been developing an iPhone 14 app with XCode. But once started, somehow, like the Sorcerer's Apprentice's brooms, it just keeps on appearing on its own, even if I have closed both it, and XCode, before shutdown. So now, to keep this off at startup, I need a sorcerer?
