Speed up your startup




 Is Windows taking longer and longer to start? It could be because you’ve installed too many programs, many of which like to automatically run when Windows starts, even if they aren’t needed. An IT guy who comes out to help you will definitely look at your startup programs to try and limit how many of them load.

Want to know how he does it? This is how:
  • Type “msconfig” into the search
  • Run the app
  • Click on the “services” tab
  • Check the “Hide all Microsoft services” box
System Configuration on Win8

Now just look through the list and if you see a program that you know you don’t use very often, turn it off and “apply”.

If that sounds too confusing, CleanMyPC once again presents an easier solution. Just open the app and click on the “Autorun” section. Now you can immediately toggle on and off startup programs. It’s safe and easy and if you toggle off something you realize you need running, just open the app and turn it back on.

How easy is that?
