Beginners Questions • Prevent HTOP commands from autostarting

In a Debian 12.5 Stable (bookworm) GNOME wayland VirtualBox VM the commands listed below autostart. Is there a way to identify how they started using HTOP or maybe another app based upon PID?

One approach to preventing the autostart is to remove execute permissions on the app or move the app to another directory. While trying to limit running process in KDE I moved several apps to ../maybelater folders. In those instances where the server would not boot or simply displayed a blank screen mv ../maybelater/[moved app] resolved the issue. Preventing the load failure due to a missing or non-executable file seems like a better approach.
