When the computer starts, you sit and wait a few minutes for all those little programs early in the system tray at the bottom? You should not have to. Of course, you will need a pair of important startup programs, but most people have much more than needed to run - you might not even know that many of your startup applications do, and in this case you certainly do not need them to be connected. These computer programs takes more time to start unnecessarily.
Often these programs are useless bloatware installed by the computer manufacturer, while others have a ride with a variety of programs that you have installed. And probably are not needed at all.
Let's talk about how to do it in Windows 8 and Windows 7 (Windows 7 method will work on older versions of Windows, too).
Side note: If you have any programs that run at startup that you do not use at all, you can uninstall from the Windows Control Panel, instead of stopping to run automatically at startup. The choice is yours.
Windows 8
Speed up the boot process is quite easy in Windows 8, because Microsoft has added a powerful tool that helps you to disable startup programs. Windows 8 boot manager even tells you how much each program slows your boot process, so you can easily disable the worst offenders.
To open this tool, click the right button on the taskbar and select Task Manager. Click More details and click the Startup tab.
From here you can select the start programs you want to disable. Check column Impact Startup - programs with a startup impact "High" slow down most things. If you are not sure exactly what is a program, then right-click it and select Search online research on the program name. This will help you understand exactly what a program, so you can decide if you really want to start at startup. To disable a program from starting automatically, click the right button on it and select Disable.
If you decide you need a program to start automatically, come back and re-enable all programs with disabilities. You can still use the programs you clear - they do not want to load at startup automatically.
On Windows 7
If you still use Windows 7, I have bad news: The oldest operating system does not include any good tool, integrated in the way Windows 8 did. You will need a third party boot manager. I recommend CCleaner. CCleaner includes an excellent boot loader next to your main tool cleaning system that will clean the system caches to free up disk space.
CCleaner offers a paid version, but you do not really need - the free version will do whatever it takes. Install it, run it, click the Tools tab and select "Startup". Use CCleaner boot loader in the same way that you use Windows 8. Select the programs you want to disable, click the right button and select "Disable." Looking for the name of an online program if you do not understand exactly what is or does. Unfortunately, CCleaner not detect how much each startup program slows your boot process.
If you really want more boot speed - and all about speed when it comes to launch applications, open files and save them - upgrade your computer from a traditional mechanical hard drive to the SSD hard drive. SSDs are much, much faster. Even with a large number of startup programs, an SSD can boot faster than a mechanical hard drive would any startup program at all.
