Are you looking to disable startup programs? Also commonly referred to as software applications or scripts that automatically launch when Windows starts up. These programs can be added by the user, or they can be pre-installed by the operating system or other software.
Startup programs can provide a variety of useful functions, such as starting up essential system services, launching frequently used applications, or providing quick access to important data or settings. However, too many startup programs can slow down the startup process and overall system performance.
To manage startup programs in Windows, you can use the Task Manager or System Configuration tool. In Task Manager, you can see a list of all the programs that are set to launch at startup, and you can disable or enable them as needed. In System Configuration, you can also manage startup programs, as well as other system settings, such as boot options and services.
