I just disable anything related to the browser wherever I can, and it stops occurring until the next update(s).
It's not the end of the world, just a periodic nuisance.
Scroll down to "On Startup"
Switch button off on "Launch AVG Secure Browser automatically when your computer starts"
I'm having the same issue as Jude. I've already disabled "Launch AVG Secure Browser automatically when your computer starts" and "Continue running background apps when browser is closed". There is nothing in Task Manager's "startup" tab for this program. Still, upon every rootboot and startup, AVG's browser pops up.
It is not set to launch on Startup in the AVG Secure Browser settings, and I CANNOT disable it in the Window 10 Task Manager - clicking on the Disable button does nothing!
Any other things to try?
Please open AVG secure browser window.
Click on three dots at the top right corner and select "Settings".
Click on "Advanced->System" from it.
Please check whether you see "Continue running background apps when browser is closed".
If yes, disable that option and check whether it helps.
Keep us posted.

Valerie, I appreciate your efforts in helping Jude.
Jude have already mentioned that it was disabled on startup which is why I suggested to disable "Continue running background apps when browser is closed".
Thank you.
Could you please check whether it happens right after an update released for AVG Secure browser?
Please check the current version of AVG Secure browser and when the services run again on startup please check the version of browser.
