Answer 1

Every time I start up my pc, the MongoDB database Server automatically starts up on the background by itself.

This is because you have installed MongoDB as a Windows service.

You can Stop MongoDB Community Edition as a Windows Service . But, this will be for this session only; and again when you start your PC MongoDB will start again.

You can Remove MongoDB Community Edition as a Windows Service . This will not start the MongoDB when you start the PC. Then you must manually start the MongoDB instance. .

Answer 2

First stop the service, then you can disable or remove it.

Stop the service: net stop MongoDB

Disable the service: sc config MongoDB start=disabled

Remove the service: mongod.exe --config <MongoDB configuration file> --remove or sc.exe delete MongoDB

Or you can do all these steps also with your mouse in the Services console.
