What essential programs need to be running in start-up and how do I disable the rest.?

Question

Can any disabled programs be easily accessed?. My computer is very slow on start-up.

Answer 1

Click on Start >> Run and in the run line type in msconfig hit enter or click on OK.

Next click on the Start Up tab. By default all items are usually checked, but you can remove any items that you don’t feel need to be running when you start your computer. ( Locate that folder / programs and uncheck the tick box).

After you have made your selection, click Apply, OK and Restart. You should now notice a remarkable improvement in your start up time.





Alternatively.

If you have Ccleaner open it and click tools. Click start up and disable the program / folder via unticking the checkbox.



Disable things like skype, yahoo messenger, msn for starters and see how it goes. Using the instructions above you can disable or enable anything you want to, its more trial and error.



However have you scanned for malware, spyware, and any viruses? If not then this could be a cause and you can use malwarebytes for free to check if there is anything on your computer that should not be. It is free here

Most programs that run at startup can be disabled from doing so in the settings for that program. What you disable can still be started by clicking on the program's icon or through the program that what you disabled is a part of. There are few programs that you really need to run at startup...your antivirus or other security programs. Everything else is optional and most likely unnecessary. I'm talking about non-windows programs and services. For a guide to windows services and disabling unnecessary ones (or changing their startup to manual) see blackviper's services guides. If you decide to disable services it is best to do so through services, not msconfig. Msconfig is ok for disabling non-windows startup programs and applications.

hi' you did not state what os you are using but if it's windows simply click on start, in the search bar type msconfig in the window disable microsoft utilities then simply search through the list and stop running programs you no longer want to run on startup. but (make sure you disable microsoft utilities) first then you will be safe to stop any other programs running without damaging your os. hope this helps

just remembered also in msconfig click on boot and where it says timeout lower the number if yours is high. this really speeded up my pc. but i don't think you can go lower than 3 sec i belive, try it lower it as much as you can. luck

Answer 4

Depends on your OS.



If you are using windows then you need the remote procedure call which is a critical process.



It is started by svchost so do not disable this.



Other than that you would need explorer.exe to be running. Disable any extra programs like registry boosters etc that run.
