Welcome back, Windows users! In this video, we’ll guide you through the process of managing your Windows startup programs to optimize your system’s boot time. As you use your Windows system daily, various applications may accumulate in your startup, potentially slowing down the startup process. Let’s take control of your startup programs and boost your Windows startup speed.

**Key Points:**

**1. Accessing Task Manager:**
– In Windows 8 and Windows 10, the traditional method of using MSConfig has been replaced. To manage startup programs, open Task Manager.
– Press Ctrl + Shift + Escape as a keyboard shortcut or right-click on the Task Bar and select Task Manager. Click /”More Details/” for a comprehensive view.

**2. Navigating to Startup Tab:**
– In Task Manager, navigate to the /”Startup/” tab. Here, you’ll find a list of applications that run when your system boots up.

**3. Enabling/Disabling Startup Programs:**
– Select a startup application, and at the bottom, an option to disable or enable will appear.
– Disable unnecessary applications to streamline the startup process.

**4. Understanding Startup Applications:**
– Get insights into the startup applications. In the video, approximately 15 startup applications are shown, with 12 set to run in the background during boot.
– Check the Notification Area to identify applications that are currently running.

**5. Boosting Startup Speed:**
– Disabling unnecessary startup applications can significantly reduce boot time. Consider the cumulative impact of multiple applications loading at startup.
– View the file location of selected applications to understand their resource consumption. Navigate to the /”Details/” tab for detailed system resource information.

**6. Freeing Up System Resources:**
– By disabling unnecessary startup applications, not only do you speed up boot times, but you also free up system resources for other applications to use.

**7. Caution with Anti-Virus Software:**
– Exercise caution when disabling startup applications, particularly those related to antivirus software. Ensure essential security applications remain enabled.

**8. User Choice:**
– The decision of which applications to run on system startup is in your hands. Customize your startup programs based on your preferences and needs.

**Conclusion:**
– Managing startup programs is a simple yet effective way to optimize your Windows startup experience.
