Prevent Autostart of Discover? [Solved]

Darn. It is in a restricted forum

A thunderbird update came through shown in the mX Updater icon in the system tray. With Discover hidden it does not show in the tray.. It is called updater in configure System tray.

You can set the notifications per app in here Notifications - Application specific settings:

Do you know how to prevent the Updates icon (Discover Notifier) from showing up?
I end up having to right click on the icon and select Quit whenever I boot up.

The icon in the systray, if you right click that arrow that hides and shows them, configure system tray.

Type updates in the search area, you will see that icon. Change the dropdown to always hidden. It will still BE there, but you have to click that arrow to show it with the hidden icons.

I found a solution. Go to /etc/xdg/autostart and delete the org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop file. Now Updates doesn't show up in my hidden icons area.

Maybe have a look at the [Solution] in post #2, as we won't want to change system files.
Or the alternative solution provided by richb in post #11 to adjust systray settings, which would also stop it to run at login.

I'll admit I don't like to run commands I'm not familiar with but after running the command in post #2,
I see that it copies the desktop file to my home folder and modifies it to add the hidden value which does hide the Updates icon.
