By default, many apps are set to launch each time you start Windows. Here’s how to manage these and help your device to boot faster
As you use your Windows 10 PC, it’s inevitable that you’ll build up a library of third-party apps and software. However, by default, many of these will open each and every time you boot up your PC. While that can be convenient in some cases — it’s great to not have to remember to open cloud storage services — many are simply not necessary. That’s especially true when you consider that in the startup list adds a bit more time between you pressing the power button and your computer being ready to use. The good news is that Windows 10 not only allows you to modify which programs open at startup, it also lets you see which apps are likely to be causing any longer boot times. You can also achieve the same thing by using a utility such as CCleaner.
