GetComponent().enabled would not disable the game object.

We need more info, the code you show should work fine. enabled only disables components, not the entire gameObject. It will disable a script if that is the component you're Getting.

Did you deactivate your game object somewhere else, like in the inspector? If so then the scripts attached to it don't run.

This is invalid code:

 void Start () { gameObject.GetComponent().enabled = false; }

GetComponent requires a parameter or a type.

Here's a simple example of working code:

 public SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
 void Start()
 {
     spriteRenderer.enabled = false;
 }


 void Update()
 {
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1))
     {
         spriteRenderer.enabled = true;
     }
 }

It will not work at all. In the start function you should call gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;. Because now you disable the object and make it not detect your mouse input.
