Moderated Managing what loads on Start-up in Win 10


Mike Pietruk
 

I'm running the latest update to Jaws2023 and am wondering what folks are
using to manage what loads upon
start-up?
Is it a 3rd party program or utility; and, if Win 10 itself, how does one
get to where they need to be?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,
I think the best way to manage this is with Microsoft's msconfig utility.
That can be launched from the run window.
Go to the startup tab.

Hey Mike.

First thing to check is task manager, startup.
There is a programme called autoruns, which is a part of the sysinternals
suite. It really will show everything, including registry keys. Once you run
it, it will show you a very long list, and you can delete items if you want
to, though I would be careful doing this as, unlike just checking an item in
task manager\startup, you can't undo what you've done afterwards (I think
all the checkbox in task manager does is comment out the line so that its'
inactive, rather than actually deleting anything).
There is documentation for all the sysinternals stuff available. Quite a lot
of useful utilities there.

Hey Glenn.

This functionality has been moved to task manager. The startup tab in
msconfig just has a button to clickt o open task manager and view startup
items from there.

That's right, I forgot that.
You know, set it and forget it.

Yep. Haha...well, at least mS put a link to the correct place to find the
thing when people go to where it is expected and don't find it.

Hi, Mike. I just use the Windows Settings app to manage what loads at
Startup. Here's how I get to it:

1. Open the Windows Settings app with Windows key plus I.
2. TAB once to the list of categories.
3. Right Arrow five times to "Apps", and press ENTER.
4. TAB once to reach the list of categories under "Apps".
5. Down Arrow five times to Startup, and press ENTER.
6. TAB through the programs that show under Startup, and if something is on,
that you don't want to load at Startup, press SPACE to turn it off. That's
it.
7. You can then close the Windows Settings app with ALT plus F4, or press
ALT plus SPACE, Up Arrow to close, and press ENTER.

Hi Mike,
 
Here's how to control what programs start at startup via the Task Manager:
1. Press, Control, Shift + Escape, to open Task Manager and Control + tab to the Startup tab.
 
2. Tab 1 time to get into the list of programs.
 
3. Down arrow through the programs and on each program open your context menu to enable or disable.  If you hear, Disable, this means the program is starting with the computer and if you hear, Enable, this program is not starting at startup.  Press enter on Disable or Enable to toggle its status.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hey.
To save yourself all that arrowing around and stuff, you can also just type
Ms-settings:startupapps
Into the run dialogue box, and you'll be right there.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.

This is one of those times I'm glad that I didn't check up on list mail
immediately as I got sidetracked by other things.
Needless t o say, this last response appears to b the simplest and got me
to where I needed to be litterally in seconds and took care of checking
and unchecking in 30 seconds or so.

I'll keep all these suggestions on file in the event that there comes a
time I need to go through all the arrowing for some unexpected reason.

Hey.
It's definitely good to familiarise yourself with a programme's interface,
and that includes the settings app within windows. That said, nothing beats
the speed and versatility of entering in commands, once you are familiar
with that interface. I think personally that it's also good for instructing
people on lists like this one, since you never quite know how someone's
setup might be, and it's just possible that someone else's "arrow five
times" is your "arrow six times" or something else. Besides, I myself could
never remember how many times to press an arrow key; it's much easier for me
to remember commands since the words do have meaning to them as cryptic as
they might be.
If you really want to get down to the low level, you should try autoruns.
But I suspect for many this won't be necessary.

Just remember that what's shown in Windows Settings for startup apps and what is shown in the startup tab of Task Manager are not 100% the same.  I just looked in both places using the respective instructions here and while there is very great overlap, there are a couple of things that appeared in my Task Manager startup tab that did not appear in the Startup Apps pane.

I recoil from any definition of the relationship between artist and audience that is predicated on the audience claiming a sense of betrayal over who someone is or isn’t outside of the context in which they’re performing. What we know about an artist’s personal identity can be interesting and even illuminating; what we are entitled to know is … nothing, basically.

Thanks for the due diligance.
Good thing I saved all of the instructions.
