In this article we will show you how to disable applications to run automatically when booting Windows 10, using Task Manager and alternatively Settings.
In Windows, there are some applications that are configured by themselves to start automatically when you start the operating system. In most cases, these applications will start on startup Windows 10 and then they will be minimized to remain as one service background. So you may run some applications unknowingly and never understand it.
There are many ways you can use to see which applications are running at startup and at the same time turn them off if you want. The most common are through Task Manager and through Windows Settings. You can try any way you want, based on your experience in Windows 10.
