Remove Cisco Meeting Daemon from registry

I was invited to a webex meeting and installed Cisco Webex Meetings V41.1.2 on Windows 10 Home V1903. Since that time Cisco Webex Meetings is run automatically after startup. I identified a registry key "CiscoMeetingDaemon" at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run by msinfo32. How do I get rid of this?

I cannot find the app within Windows start menu. It shows that it has been installed to "AppData/Local/Webex" in local user directory. If I run the executables at this location no frontend application is started.

How can I disable that Cisco Webex Meetings is run at startup?

I do not want the system to slow down as apps start automatically although there is no point in that. Why Cisco decided for this behaviour?

@dolomite
usually you get 3 options when joining a webex-meeting:
- download and install the Client
- download and run a temporary application (more here: Video Conferencing - Joining a Meeting Using 'Run a temporary application' (webex.com) )
- join via Webbrowser

As it seems, you decided to download and install the software.

To un-install (any) software you may use the built-in features of Windows 10:
Uninstall or remove apps and programs in Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

If you just want to manage the autostart-items:
