How to Restrict Applications To Load On Start Up

Have you ever been in a situation that you want to do an important task and when you start your laptop, you end up waiting for a long time for the system to be in a workable state.

Well, chances are that some of your resource eating applications or services takes their own sweet time to get loaded during the waiting time.And yes, you are right - its very annoying !!

Good news is that we can easily restrict the by-default loading of applications on the start up. Here's how we can do it :


  1.   Type (Windows + R) in your Keyboard to bring the Run window. Enter "msconfig".



     2.   System Configuration window would be opened. Go to “Startup” menu. This is the place where all Startup Items would be listed. Uncheck the ones which you don’t want to start on system start.



Click on Apply button and the configuration changes would be saved. Again click on OK button.

    3.     There would be a popup prompting us to restart the system, so that the latest configurations  are set. Click on Restart button.



            And that’s all. After your system gets restarted, you would see it load faster as unwanted applications or services would not load on start up.
