These use settings already included with Windows. No downloads, registry edits, or overclocking are required.

Review startup apps

Choose which apps open automatically when you sign in. This may reduce startup activity; keep apps you need running.

  1. Open Settings → Apps → Startup, or open Task Manager and choose Startup apps.
  2. Turn off only apps you recognize and do not need at sign-in.
