How to stop mongodb server on Windows startup?

Question

I have mongodb installed on windows 10 and it is always working in the background on windows startup and it is just annoying me cause I don't need to work with it all the time so how do I stop it from running on startup or is the only way to actually remove mongodb?

I tried mongo admin --eval "db.shutdownServer()" but that would only close it but after restart mongodb will show up again in the background :(

Does it run as a service ? If yes, just configure it to manual. — Fabzien, Jul 10 '17 at 12:26
thank you.. its much better.. I could always start it from services now when I want to use mongodb :) — user3808955, Jul 10 '17 at 14:20

Go to your windows services.msc and set your mongoDB on manual. To start your DB open admin prompt net start mongodb. To stop it net stop mongodb.
