Oh, I see. I was under the impression that these "Run at startup" apps were using the opportunity to check-in, report telemetry, and the evil ones to start GPS tracking.

At least for the last you can go into Settings->Location and either revoke location permissions entirely or at least make sure they're set to "Allowed only while in use".

After startup\reboot, I've resorted to going through all the apps and clicking "Force Stop".
