Problem with printer head going center and then to the edge of an object before printing it

Detailed explanation:
Object - simple cylinder.

1. the print head goes into the middle of the circle of the (soon to be) first layer

2. the print head goes to the edge

3. starts extruding and printing

I want to eliminate the first step and go to the second right ahead. Reason: printing with paste where extrusion cant be stopped and when the printer goes to the middle (for literally no reason) it leaves a residue that messes up the first layer.

are you using the default startup gcode?

I don't see any reason why the print head should go to the middle of the object and not start with the skirt (or external perimeter, if no skirt is printed). Never seen this. Maybe you can save the project as a 3mf file (from Prusaslicer's File menu, Save Project as…), compress it (or the forum software won't accept it), and attach it here. The 3mf contains the STL but also all your settings so folks here can double check everything.
