How to Stop Automatic startup for Applications on Windows

 It gets quite annoying when you start your PC and some 4 random applications scramble for memory to get started before you open what you want. It gets even more frustrating if you have a slower computer or one with a lower  processing memory capacity.

The great part is that you have the option to decide what starts when you switch on your PC and what doesn't.

This setting(as presented) only works for windows Operating system. 


To change startup app settings, follow these steps:

1. Go to your Windows search option(press F3 or WIndows button) and type startup

2. There will be a pop up of the startup application

3. Click on it to proceed with the necessary settings

4. Once it loads, it is simple, toggle between on and off from the list of applications listed. Ensure you only switch OFF what you do not need.


When done, you don't have to save anything as it is automatically done.

The next time you power up your PC, it will start much faster. The applications can then be started by double clicking to open.
