Find what starts on login

What are all the places where things can start from, at login of Ubuntu (Gnome)?
There's an application that crashes every time I log in and I want to remove it (but not the application itself because it runs fine when started manually; the startup is probably some updater)
- It's not in Gnome's "Startup Applications"
crontab -eof administrator and user are both empty- It's not in
snap
Could it be other cron jobs scheduled to run on each login? I've tried and can't find a way how to list cron jobs. What other places than these can I look?

"it runs fine when started manually" means that you know what application it is. Please tell us, otherwise we can only guess and it will be difficult to help.

NetBeans (Oracle Java VM crash). VM downloaded myself and I use it all the time.

I don't use that program. Let us wait for someone who knows about it.
