EDIT: oops, sorry.  I thought you were being vague.  I see now you actually mean "gnome software".  I forget that gnome gives one bit of software the horrible name "software".

But, software and gnome-keyring is integrated into gnome.

Sorry, see my edit.  Do you sue these but just don't want them autostarted, or do you not use them at all?  If the latter, just uninstall them.  They are seperate packages.

Software uninstalled, gnome-keyring too?

sudo pacman -Rsn gnome-keyring
error:
'org.freedesktop.secrets' required by seahorse
'gnome-keyring' required by xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

And do you use seahorse and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk?  If not, get rid of them too.  But if you use them, then you need their dependencies ... and perhaps you really just want them to not run at startup.  But why not?  Are they causing a startup delay?

Re: [SOLVED]How to disable startup programs on Gnome

Gnome-keyring is somewhat of an "essential" (it's not a hard dep, but many things will either start to store credentials in plain-text or not store/remember credentials at all) part to a lot of gnome software (and a bit more, seeing as it's one of the primary "libsecret" providers) are you sure you can (or rather want to) simply disable it? What is your use case/reasoning for wanting to disable it?

I left gnome-keyring. There were problems with google chrome browsers and the password entry message. Seahorse helped.

Thank you all.
