SUMMARY Right now, there is no way to disable autostart from programs from /etc/xdg/autostart in autostart kde settings. Right now i use this two commands to disable startup of two programs: sed -e '$aHidden=True' /etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop > "$HOME/.config/autostart/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop" sed -e '$aHidden=True' /etc/xdg/autostart/gcdemu.desktop > "$HOME/.config/autostart/gcdemu.desktop" STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install kubuntu or any distro with kde. 2. Go to autostart settings. 3. No discover or any other program from /etc/xdg/autostart is present. OBSERVED RESULT No discover or any other program from /etc/xdg/autostart is present in autostart settings. EXPECTED RESULT Having /etc/xdg/autostart programs in autostart gui. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Related https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413053#c7
Likely best to split it into two tabs under Autostart User Startup (current layout) Global Startup (all users) (from /etc/xdg/autostart)
Makes sense IMO.

(In reply to Justin Zobel from comment #1) > Likely best to split it into two tabs under Autostart > > User Startup (current layout) > Global Startup (all users) (from /etc/xdg/autostart) I think another kcm for system autostart is better as the user autostart doesn't need apply buttons or enable/disable buttons but the system autostart does need them
