Isn't there a setting so can disable stop-start ?.

There is, but it turns back on every time you turn on the ignition,
there may be an OBD-II setting to permanently disable it.

Sometimes it is more trouble than its worth, depending on your usage.

I'm fairly used to it now, it did initially annoy me with its
inconsistency, such as stopping when you come to a halt, then restarting
as soon as you take your foot off the brake ... I don't mind that so
much now that I also know that taking my foot off the brake doesn't turn
off the brake lights anyway, so I leave my foot on the brake for short
stops.
