Startup programs are applications that run automatically when your computer starts up. It can be helpful to clean up these programs in order to improve your computer’s performance.
Here are some steps you can take to clean up startup programs:
1. Open Task Manager. You can press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open it quickly.
2. Click on the "Startup" tab. This tab will display all of the programs that start up when you turn on your computer.
3. Review the list of startup programs and decide which ones you want to stop. You can right-click on any of the programs and select “Disable” to prevent them from starting up.
4. Restart your computer to apply the changes.
It's important to note that you should only disable programs that you are familiar with. If you're not sure what a program does, you should research it before disabling it.
