Our new video shows how to manage that.<\/p>\n<p>The more software you have on your PC, the longer it takes for Windows to start.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because when you install new software, sometimes it adds itself to the list of startup apps. And that means a lot of software starts automatically when you reboot.<\/p>\n<p>Your computer has a lot more to do and needs more time to do it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple to see which programs are opening on startup and stop them. This works in the same way in both Windows 10 and Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>Open your settings app. There are lots of ways to do this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can press the Windows key and the i key at the same time<\/li>\n<li>Or click the Start button, then the cogwheel<\/li>\n<li>Also, in the Start menu, you can look for the word Settings<\/li>\n<li>And you can go to the search box and type \u201csettings\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019re in settings go to apps\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Then Startup\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s all the software that can start automatically. To stop something, turn it off. It really is that easy.<\/p>\n<p>To decide which software to turn off, look at the impact. Disabling the medium and high-impact software will have the greatest effect on speeding up your computer at startup.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d prefer a specialist did this for you, or perhaps wanted to manage which settings your staff can access, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-south\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">we can help.
