Adjust Your Startup Programs


Are you tired of waiting for your computer to start up? Do you want to speed up the process and have more control over which programs launch with Windows? If so, adjusting your startup programs is the solution you need.


First, open the Windows 10/11 Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc or searching for “Task Manager” in the search bar. Once you have the Task Manager open, click on the Startup tab at the top. Here, you will see all the programs that are set to launch when you start up your computer.


Each program will have an estimated impact rating from Low to High. This rating indicates how much of an impact the program has on your computer’s startup time. If you want to turn off any of these programs, simply click on the listing and select Disable. Keep in mind that disabling a program means you will need to open it manually to activate it from now on.


By adjusting your startup programs, you can speed up your computer’s startup time and have more control over which programs launch with Windows. This can help you save time and improve your overall computer experience. So, take a few minutes to adjust your startup programs today and enjoy a faster, more efficient computer tomorrow.
