Streamline WDDriveUtilityHelper fof Mac: Minimize Startup Impact and Improve Clarity

Every time I restart my computer, I notice that “WDDriveUtilityHelper” appears in the bottom-left corner of my screen. Is it possible to run this software without it automatically starting during login? The trend nowadays is for software to minimize its impact at startup as much as possible.

If that’s not possible, can you at least make it run in the background without displaying itself at startup? Additionally, it would be very helpful if your website provided a clear explanation of what “WDDriveUtilityHelper” is and what it does.
