Here is where the magic happens! Your list will appear differently than the above image based on the programs you have installed. Once you’ve spent a few moments exploring the processes tab click on the Startup tab and we’ll get to business. The Processes tab is useful to determine all sorts of cool stuff about program and process resource usage. While this tab has little to do with startup programs running in the background on your computer take a few moments and look around. Simply click the More Details link at the bottom of the window to expose the true goodness hiding within. The Task Manager will show a simplified view of the programs that you are presently running, but the true “magic” of Task Manager is hidden. Open the Task Manager using ctrl+shift+esc or type Task into the search bar and you will see the window below. As always you can never have enough backups and before making system changes, such as this, you should create one if you don’t have a recent one handy. In days of yore it seems you needed to be a soothsayer and sacrifice a goat in order to corral this mess, but Windows 10 has – for the most part – taken great strides to simplify the management of startup programs in Windows. Why, oh why? Use Windows 10 Task Manager to Manage Startup Items I say common knowledge but I may be overstating the fact as it seems the author of every single computer program ever written – aren’t software authors techie types? – wants all, or part, of their program to automatically start with Windows and run in the background at all times. It is common knowledge among techie types that each program which starts as your computer loads the operating system uses valuable resources that could be better used elsewhere and slows the entire startup process – sometimes to a crawl. The programs that load automatically when your computer starts are one of the most common causes of frustration for users – if a user is complaining about a slow computer this is the first place to look.
