Hi. Due to recent events I needed to install Zoom on my F29. To do this I browsed to a zoom meeting link and was presented with the download screen where I hesitantly installed. All went ok and it works as it’s supposed to but it automatically starts at boot and I shut it down and it keeps restarting itself when the laptop is suspended somehow and when I open it back up it’s hogging the rescources and it takes a minute till I can move the mouse. I was surprised not to see any other threads on this here. So how would I go about stopping the “nifty” autostart feature? I am running LXDE. The package is:
rpm -q zoom
zoom-3.5.361976.0301-1.x86_64
Hi @how0909,
Fedora 29 is no longer supported (see End of life - Fedora Project Wiki)
Install F31 and try again … if you still encounter problems, you can always come back and we’ll try and work it out.

As simple as.,

You mean you have no idea where startup scripts are stored etc? Has it been THAT long?
You may want to try with gnome-tweaks. It has a section on startup apps, and I believe I’ve seen (and removed) Zoom from the list.

I got lucky and found a very interesting write-up on the problem here:
http://zarnovican.github.io/2018/05/20/autostarting-zoom-app/
All I have done is
Menu > Preferences > Screensaver > Display Modes tab > Mode > “Disable Screen Saver”
…and that seems to have solved the autostart after sleep… Because (wait for it) Zoom Starts as a Screensaver, ahahaha, at least in F29/LXDE. Now I will fix the file mentioned.
For reference, I am running fedora 31 w/ gnome. I installed the app from the official rpm on zoom’s website. Worked like a charm. No problems with the app at all.
I also had it while on F30 and I also did not face any problems.
