How To Disable Startup Programs in Windows 10

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to disable startup programs in Windows 10. If your Windows 10 PC is rather slow to startup, it may be that programs automatically launch at startup and strain your machine’s resources. Indeed, as you install programs on your PC, some of them will automatically launch in the background when Windows 10 starts. This allows them to run faster when you run them. However, the more programs you have running at Windows 10 startup, the longer your PC will take to boot.

So, to speed up the startup of Windows 10, I recommend that you disable the programs that automatically run at startup. Here is how to do it.
