The speed of the computer depends on its performance parameters and volume. random access memory A that is used to perform operations. The more it is loaded, the slower the operations are performed. A large number of open programs loads the system and slows down its work. Therefore, to simplify, it is better to disable autorun of most programs.
How to disable redundant
Stop automatic start applications in several ways. Not all programs can be edited by the means offered by the system, sometimes you need to install additional software that will display hidden files and help turn them off. There are three options for stopping automatic startup:
- utility (for Windows7);
- task manager (for later versions);
- programs.
Windows 7
Almost all programs automatically create a rule when they start up to open them every time the system starts. You can stop processes and change the startup algorithm in the start menu. In the search bar, enter the msconfig combination responsible for configuration and settings, press the Enter key. In the window that opens, select the "Startup" option, it's the fourth tab from the left. The "item" column displays all programs that start automatically. Choose among them those that you do not need every time - and uncheck them.
Important!
It is better to leave the antivirus: it is needed to protect the computer and, if the program does not start automatically, the path to viruses will be open.
After setting the parameters, click the "OK" or "apply settings" button. Reboot the system and check if all the necessary programs are in place. If you accidentally removed something, just go back and change the configuration again.
It is not necessary to restart the computer, for this you need to click the exit button in the dialog box. Optionally, check the box to no longer display the notification.
later versions
In Windows 8, 8.1, 10, you can disable the launch of programs in the task manager. It is opened through the taskbar on the corresponding tab or by the hot key combination Ctrl+Shift+Esc. To open the first way you need to click on the bottom line right click mice. If, when opening the dispatcher, almost nothing is displayed in it, click on the "details" button in the lower left corner.
In the task manager, the tab responsible for downloading programs is the fourth from the left. All programs installed on the device are displayed there, and in the status column you can see whether autoload is enabled or not. The on/off button is in the lower right corner. Select the desired line and click it.
Important!
If the system is running in safe mode, then many objects will not run.
Programs to disable
You can clear the memory not only manually, for this there is software that displays hidden files or helps clear everything in one click. This allows you to completely get rid of all unnecessary and free up computer memory. The most commonly used are Autoruns or CCleaner.
CCleaner
An all-in-one desktop tidying tool. The application cleans the registry, context menu, saves memory from accidentally downloaded files, downloads from the Internet, traces of deleted files, helps control automatic launch and optimizes storage. Suitable for our task free version applications. It needs to be downloaded and installed. After that, go to the "service", select the tab we are interested in, select the unnecessary and disable, and then restart the computer.
If some programs are displayed even after disabling autorun, you can deal with the problem using Autoruns. Installation is not needed, you only need to allow access. After opening "autoruns. exe" window will open. In the upper part - directives and libraries, in the central part everything that is installed on the computer is listed. Highlighted in yellow deleted files, light red - categories without description or developer. This could be a potential threat or applications of unknown origin. You can change the configuration and save the settings in this window.
Timely cleaning of the computer helps not only free up memory and speed up the system, but also get rid of junk files that you don't even remember. Starting programs automatically is set by default, so you need to change the settings regularly as soon as you install something new. Do not disable your antivirus to avoid system infection. If you did everything right, and the programs still run, install desktop cleaning software to fix the problem completely.
Setting up autorun (loading programs after the user logs into the account) applications on Windows 7 is a topic that is relevant for beginners. Many novice users are wondering where there are so many programs on the computer if they have not installed them, and how to remove unnecessary applications from startup. This is what today's brief review will tell you.
Before touching on editing the autorun list, let's define this term. Autoload is a feature operating system, which allows you to launch any applications immediately after downloading your own files without the user's knowledge, but added by him or other programs to the list of automatically launched ones. This windows function 7 allows you not to worry about launching utilities that the user uses all the time (browser, download manager, audio player, file manager).
By the term "startup settings" we will understand the removal (most often), adding, temporarily disabling the launch of programs or delaying for a specified period of time (tens of seconds until Windows starts).
How to open the startup list
You can see the list of programs automatically loaded with Windows 7 using several methods, which boil down to visualizing the contents of several registry branches (this will be discussed below). This:
- registry editor;
- utility "System Configuration";
- functionality by third party programs.
Registry Editor
Paths to applications that are loaded with Windows 7 are registered in specially designated registry branches. You can access them through the registry editor. We launch the application (regedit command) and open the following branches of the system database.
The first contains a list of programs that run for the active account, and the second refers to all users of the computer.
By removing or adding keys of the REG_SZ type with paths to programs, you can easily add or remove the desired object.
An easier way to edit the auto-start in the active account is the Startup folder located in the Start menu.
system configuration
- We execute the command "msconfig" in the search box or the command interpreter (Win + R) Windows 7.
- Click "Apply" and restart your computer to accept the changes.
It is not necessary to restart Windows 7 right away.
Third Party Programs
The means of the "seven", with the help of which the autorun list is configured, we have considered. Let's move on to third-party utilities that allow you to perform similar actions.
CCleaner
The best utility for maintenance computer CCleaner offers not only cleaning the registry from unnecessary keys and the disk from junk files, but also opens up the possibility of editing the startup list.
- We start the program.
- Go to the "Service" item, where in turn we go to the "Startup" tab.
Using the buttons located to the right of the main frame, it is possible to disable and remove items from autorun. Unfortunately, you won't be able to create new entries in CCleaner.
Pay attention to the tab bar at the top. The first, called "Windows", contains applications that are loaded after a user logs into an account. Next are entries with information about plugins that are activated when the browser is called.

If, after turning on the computer, you have to wait a long time until the operating system is finally loaded, do not put up with it! Some of my friends, who bought a powerful laptop just two months ago, thought it was normal to wait five minutes before starting to work with it. When I accidentally saw this, I immediately opened autoload list and discovered a large number of applications that started with the system.
The fact is that many programs, after installation, are independently prescribed in autoload, and then every time you turn on the computer, they start up with the operating system. This, of course, does not affect the Windows boot time for the better. To increase system boot speed, you need to exclude unnecessary applications from autorun.
There are several ways to remove unnecessary programs from startup:
The first way is . It stores shortcuts to programs launched after successful user registration in the system. Shortcuts to this folder can be added by programs during their installation, or by the user himself.
There are two startup folders:
General
- for all users of this PC. Found in the directory Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Programs from this directory will run for everyone Windows users, no matter how many there are.
Individual - For current user, logged in under his account. Stored in a directory Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Programs from this folder will be launched for the current user.
So, if you don't want the programs from these folders to start when Windows starts, just delete their shortcuts from these folders. Also, these shortcuts can be deleted if you go to "Start" - "All Programs" - "Startup".
The second way is using the built-in System Setup utility. To call it, go to "Start" - "Run" - type msconfig and click OK. In the window that appears, go to the "Startup" tab. To remove unnecessary programs from startup, simply uncheck the boxes next to them and click “OK”, then restart your computer. 
If by the name in the first column you cannot understand which program is in startup, look at the “Command” column. Here is the path to the executable file, which will help you determine the folder and, accordingly, the name of the program.
The third way is in registry editor. Go to "Start" - "Run" - type regedit and click OK. Information about startup is contained in two branches of the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Responsible for autoloading programs for all users of the system.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- is responsible for autoloading programs of the current user of the system.
To remove a program from startup, simply delete the corresponding key (right-click on the key - select in context menu item "Delete"): 
Fourth way – autoload management using third-party programs. There are many utilities that allow you to disable the autorun of unnecessary applications. Among them are the programs repeatedly mentioned on the blog and.
IN CCleaner to manage autorun, you need to select the “Service” tab - “Startup” - find an application that does not have to be loaded with the system - select it and click “Turn off”: 
In a programme starter to do this, go to the “Startup” tab - find it in the list on the right desired program and uncheck it. In the window that appears, click "Yes". 
Another management software auto Windows boot, about which I must definitely tell you, is called autoruns. It is small but very powerful utility, with which you can see (and, if necessary, disable) all programs, services and drivers that start with the operating system. Autoruns can be useful if a virus has settled in your system startup. For more information on how to work with this program, I will tell in
As new programs are installed, your computer may slow down. One of the reasons is a large number of autorun utilities that take up device resources. Today we will look at what autoload is, as well as how to optimize it so that resources are not wasted.
Autoload: what is this option and why is it useful
The option to autorun programs involves opening utilities for further work in them immediately after turning on the computer, in particular, Windows. There is a list of startup programs. The user has the right to edit it himself: add and remove unnecessary utilities. Auto mode enabling applications will save you from searching for shortcuts on the "Desktop" in order to launch programs: you have included your computer device and you can immediately work in the desired utility.
In the "Startup" tab, you can edit the list with programs that should open when Windows starts
It is important to know that a considerable number of startup utilities negatively affect the performance of the operating system: the utilities included in the list continue to function in background after autorun and load CPU. As a result, the device works slowly, especially if it has poor technical characteristics.
Thus, it is not recommended to include many utilities in the list: no more than 7. In this case, only antivirus will be a mandatory item. All other programs are up to you. For example, if you work constantly on the Internet, put your favorite browser on startup.
How to disable autorun utilities in Windows 10 or remove unnecessary software from there
Autoload is a useful option, but sometimes, as we noted above, users also face its disadvantages. Problems in this case may appear through no fault of a person: often, during installation, utilities are included automatically in the autorun list without the knowledge of the user, even if there is no need for this. As a result, even new computer starts to hang.
How to be in such a situation? You can't turn off autoload completely. In this case, only unnecessary programs are removed in any way below, so that the list becomes much smaller.
Through the "Task Manager"
In the "Task Manager" you can not only end program processes, but also set up your autorun list. What exactly needs to be done in this window?
- In Windows 10, "Task Manager" can be quickly launched through the "Taskbar" (the bottom bar on the computer screen, which contains icons of open programs and the "Start" button). Right-click on the icon-free field on the "Taskbar" and select "Task Manager" from the context menu.
Select "Task Manager" from the context menu of the "Taskbar" - You can open this window in the classic way: hold down the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Delete and select "Task Manager" in the new screen.
- The dispatcher window will have several tabs. As you may have guessed, we need the "Startup" section.
In Task Manager, switch to the Startup tab - Click on the column at the top "Status" to sort the list with utilities - it will be convenient to work with it.
Click on the "State" parameter to sort the list - Look at the applications that are included in startup. Find the ones you don't need. Select them one by one with the left mouse button, and then click on the "Disable" button located at the bottom of the window. If you want to deactivate all applications in this list, repeat the procedure for all items except the antivirus, as it should start working immediately after Windows startup.
Select the program in the list with the left mouse button and click on the "Disable" button - Close Task Manager and restart your device.

Using the "Registry Editor"
You can set up a list with autorun utilities not only through the familiar Task Manager, but also through a window called the Registry Editor. Even beginners who previously did not know about the existence of this important built-in service will cope with this procedure. Let's consider everything step by step.
- In order for the “Registry Editor” window to appear on the screen of your device, hold down two keys at the same time: Win (button with Windows icon) and R.
- A small Run window will open. It will contain one line "Open". Enter the regedit command here. Now click on OK or press Enter on the keyboard.
Enter the regedit command in the "Open" field - We click on the left button "Yes" to allow the "Registry Editor" to make changes on this computer.
Click "Yes" to allow "Registry Editor" to make changes to your device - The editor window is divided into two parts. We will look for the folder with files we need in the left area, where the tree structure is located.
The "Registry Editor" window is divided into two parts: sections and a list of files with folders - First, open the following sections one by one: HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Run.
- As a result, you will see a list of files that are responsible for auto-launching individual applications on the device. As a rule, the name of these files contains the name of the utility, so it will be easy to determine which items to remove here.
Search the list of registry entries in the Run folder for the names of unnecessary programs that should not start with Windows - To remove an application from the list, such as ViStart or CCleaner, right-click on it to bring up a small menu with options. In it, we already select "Delete".
Click on "Delete" to remove the registry entry - Click on "Yes" to confirm the removal of the file from the registry. Don't worry, it won't crash your system. You simply disable the launch of the utility.
Confirm the deletion of the registry entry by clicking "Yes"
Using the "Startup" folder on the system drive
The folder containing the list of startup programs is located on system drive. In order not to look for it in Windows Explorer for a long time, we suggest using fast way, which will help you immediately display desired section. So what needs to be done:
- On your keyboard, hold down and hold two keys for a couple of seconds: Win and R. The familiar Run window will open, with which we launched the Registry Editor.
- In the "Open" field, write the following: shell: startup. In order not to make a mistake in the command, it is better to copy it, and then paste it into the line using the context menu, which is called by the right mouse button.
Type shell:startup in the "Open" field to launch the "Startup" folder - As a result, " Windows Explorer”, in particular, the folder “Startup”.
In the "Startup" folder there will be a list of programs that start working together with the launch of Windows - To take away unnecessary application from the list, right-click on it to bring up a list of options. In it, we already click on the “Delete” item, which is closer to the end.
Select Remove from the context menu that appears to remove the program shortcut from the Startup folder
This method has a big minus: not all applications that are in the "Autorun" mode are displayed in this folder. Thus, you will not be able to fully edit the list of utilities.
Uninstalling with Task Scheduler
You can optimize the list of utilities for autorun along with Windows boot using another built-in service of the operating system: "Task Scheduler". How to open it and what needs to be done in its window?
- Open the "Search" section on the "Taskbar". It will be with a magnifying glass icon to the right of the start button.
Click on the magnifying glass icon to open Windows Search - If there is no such icon, enable it: right-click on the "Taskbar" and select "Search" in the context menu, and then the "Show search icon" value.
Select "Show search icon" - In the line enter the query "Task Scheduler". It will appear in the results immediately. Open it with the left mouse button.
Enter search query"Task Scheduler" to the line - In the service window, open the "Task Scheduler Library".
- There will be a list in the middle of the window. Find an unnecessary program in it. Left-click on it to highlight it, and then click on "Delete" or "Disable" on the right third of the screen. Be careful, as here you can disable the launch of important processes.
In the list of programs to be scheduled to run with Windows, disable unnecessary items
Installing special programs
You can clean up the startup list not only due to the built-in Windows tools, but also with special software. Today we will consider for example two simple and effective utilities: CCleaner and Autorun Organizer.
CCleaner: quickly and easily remove programs from autorun
CCleaner utility - a universal assistant for optimization Windows work from the developer Piriform. Its main function is to cleanse hard drives from "junk" files that accumulate over time and begin to slow down the device. With this tool, you can easily and easily edit the list of startup programs. Use the following instructions to remove unnecessary utilities from the list:
- Download the utility from the official site. Install the program following the simple prompts of the installation wizard.
Click the Download Free Version button to download the CCleaner installer - Launch the application using the shortcut on the "Desktop".
- Go to the "Tools" section, and then to the "Startup" tab. In the Windows block, a list will appear with programs that open when the device is started.
In the "Startup" tab there is a list of programs that start with Windows - Highlight the unnecessary utility in the list with the left mouse button. Then click on the blue "Turn off" or "Delete" button. Repeat this step for each app you want to remove.
Click on unnecessary program left click and select "Turn off" or "Delete" on the right side of the screen

Autorun Organizer: easy to use autorun manager
Unlike CCleaner, this tool, developed by ChemTable Software, is only for managing the startup list. It is his main function: it does not clean discs. Nevertheless, the utility copes with its tasks qualitatively: even if the program re-includes itself in the autorun list, Autorun will immediately disable it.
The disadvantage of the utility is that during installation it is proposed to install additional software: "Yandex.Browser" and other related products from this company. However, you can refuse to install these programs by simply unchecking the boxes.
Now let's look at where you can download this startup manager, as well as how to work in its window.
In the program itself
Often the utilities include themselves again in the autorun list some time after you have removed them using any of the above methods (with the exception of Autorun Organizer, since the program strictly monitors this). To prevent them from re-entering the list, turn off the autoload option in the utility itself along with the OS. Usually in each program there is an item "Start automatically with Windows".
Consider the procedure using the example of one of the popular download managers and a media player in one tool called MediaGet.
- Open MediaGet using the shortcut on your desktop or start menu.
- Look for a small gear icon in the top right corner.
Find the gear icon in the top right corner - Click on it to open the menu. Now click on "Settings" to open the section with options.
Left click on "Settings" - You will immediately be taken to the "Basic" tab.
- In this tab, in the "System" block, find the item "Start with Windows".
Find "Start with Windows" - Uncheck it so that in the future the program does not run in the background immediately after Windows starts.
Uncheck "Start with Windows" - Left-click on the green OK button for the changes to take effect.
You can go into the settings of each program individually and turn off the option to start with Windows to remove them from the list completely.
If there are a lot of unnecessary utilities on startup along with Windows, you need to clean up the list: remove all programs that you do not use, as they take up precious computer system resources. This can be done using standard means Windows and at the expense special utilities, such as CCleaner and Autorun Organizer. If you notice that the program is re-added to the list, disable the "Start with Windows" option directly in its settings.
For most users personal computers and laptops, it's no secret that the more programs that start automatically when you turn on your computer, the slower it loads. This is obvious, because in this case, the resources of the system, in addition to loading itself, are also spent on launching these very programs. Therefore, one of the most effective and meanwhile simple ways is to remove everything superfluous from startup.
