A lot of startup programs slowing down your PC’s booting time? Here’s a simple trick to speed up your PC’s startup.
Windows has a built in special tool called the “Microsoft System Configuration Utility” or simply “MSCONFIG.” It helps you manage the programs that loads up whenever you turn on your computer, giving you the option to turn off programs that are set to automatically load up whenever you start up your computer. You can turn off some of that programs at startup to help speed up your computer.
Its actually very simple, just go to Run -> type msconfig -> Enter -> then click on the “startup” tab.
From there you can uncheck the programs you do not want to automatically load up whenever you startup your computer. You should be careful not to uncheck any essential programs that windows need to be running to avoid crashing. Make sure you know what programs you will be disabling at startup.
