How to Control Which Programs Starts at Boot in Windows 10
If you find Windows 10 is taking a long time to start up, you can disable programs that normally load during boot-up. This may help shorten your boot time. Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys and select the Startup tab.
You’ll now have a list of programs that start when your computer boots up. By using the column headings, you can reorder the entries by name, publisher and status. In this example we’ve ordered by startup impact.
Task Manager makes it easy to disable a program from starting up. All you need to do is click on the desired program and then Disable. The Task Manager will update that entry to show that it is now disabled.
You’ll need to exit the Task Manager and reboot for the changes to take effect. Be careful when disabling programs: some may be required for your computer to operate correctly. If in doubt, research it first.
