Windows 10 adding programs to startup. Delayed program launch using Autorun Organizer

Good afternoon, dear readers, and also to all those who accidentally wandered here. Not long ago we looked at what it is eaten with; if you haven’t read it, be sure to check it out. And today I want to tell you about where the autorun of programs and applications is located in the operating system Windows 10. Let's start with.

For the time being, we don’t even think about what Windows is, until suddenly our system begins to be “lazy” and very slow to “think”, although, it would seem, just yesterday everything started up once or twice.

The fact is that the longer we use the computer, the more we install the software we need, the more likely it is that all or most of these programs get into startup and start along with the system, whether we want it or not. And this is a consumption of Windows performance resources.

Where in Windows 10 startup (autorun) programs

To disable programs from startup, we first need to find it. And for this we must launch the “Task Manager”. It opens as in previous versions Windows combination keys Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

If " Task Manager "(task manager) opened in minimized mode, then click on the "More details" button in the lower left part of the window, then go to the "Startup" tab.

Here is a list of those programs that run along with 10; if there are a dozen or more of them, then they most likely negatively affect the operation of your system. Therefore, I advise you to disable all these programs. To do this, you need to hover your cursor over specific program and in the lower right corner click “Disconnect”.

Important! If you don’t know what this or that program is responsible for, then you should disable them individually, and not as a group, so as not to get completely confused - in case you disable something vitally important for yourself. The changes will take effect, of course, after a system reboot.

How to add a program to Windows 10 startup

To add a program or application to Windows autorun 10, you need to open the folder " Startup» in the following ways.

• Method number 1.

C:\Users\"Your Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

By default, this folder is hidden, I will tell you how to make it visible in one of the following articles, but for now:

• Method number 2.

If the Startup folder does not open, then open the “Run” dialog box using the keyboard shortcut Win+R.

After that we write there:

shell:startup is for a specific user

shell:common startup - this is for all Windows users

The Startup folder will open. Perhaps there will be shortcuts to those programs that are already loaded with the system. To add a program to autorun you need to:

1. Right click on empty space in folder;
2. Select “Create” - “Shortcut” from the menu;
3. Click “Browse” and use Explorer to find the program we need;
4. Ready.

Even in the very first versions of Windows there was one interesting feature, namely the ability to make sure that after the start operating system any program was immediately launched in automatic mode. This was achieved by adding the program of interest to the user to the Startup folder. In addition, from this folder you can also easily remove programs that were added there without your permission, thereby saving yourself from launching them during system startup. And the latter is actually also very convenient, since an excessive amount of all kinds of “junk” in startup has a negative effect on the performance of the system (the computer simply begins to take significantly longer to boot over time and slow down wildly). But if in previous versions of the OS Windows folder“Startup” was easily found in the “Start” menu, but in the “top ten” the situation has changed, as a result of which many users are faced with the question of where startup is located in Windows 10. I propose to deal with this issue once and for all.

Managing startup via Task Manager

It is worth noting that in Windows 10 you can view the startup list through the “Task Manager”, disabling programs that you do not need. Unfortunately, you cannot add a program this way. But this method is considered the fastest to disable programs.

To open the Manager, you need to click on “Start” or “Taskbar” right click mouse and select Task Manager. By the way, to find out all the ways to open the task manager, read the article “”. After this, you will know all the basic opening methods.

Then in the Manager that opens, select the “Startup” tab. Now right-click on the program that you want to disable and select the appropriate item from the menu that appears - “Disable”.

Manual search

Finding the Startup folder is a very simple task. But first you need to open hidden files and folders. Just go to any folder, find the “View” tab and go to it, then click the “Options” button there.

The “Folder Options” window will appear, in which you need to go to the “View” tab and find the “Hide protected system files" Uncheck the box next to this option, then find the item “Show hidden files, folders and drives” and vice versa select this setting. Once all of the above is completed, click the “Ok” button.

Yes, you will still receive a message where you click “Yes”.

Now you should open the drive on which you have the system (with rare exceptions, this is drive C) and follow one of the paths listed below:

• For active user: Users\Username \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Main Menu\Programs\Startup.
• For all users: ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Main Menu\Programs\Startup.
• If you have English version Windows 10: User\User_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

By the way, it is possible to find the “Startup” folder much faster by using the “Run” command for this purpose. Press the combination “Win” + “R” on your keyboard, and then in the corresponding window, paste the command %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and click “OK”. You can also use more short command shell:Startup.

We search using the “Search” function

To find the Startup folder, you can also use an ordinary system search. To do this, open the disk on which you have the operating system and enter the word “Startup” in the search bar. Once the search is complete, open the folder whose address starts with C:\Users\ etc... This method is simple and does not require knowledge of any commands, but it does take some time.

The methods described above are considered more effective than waiting 1-2 minutes to find the desired object.

CCleaner for working with startup

If you are a novice user and you have installed CCleaner program(if you don’t know about it, be sure to install it, as it removes unnecessary junk from your computer), then this program can help you disable programs from startup. To get started, open the program and go to “Service”:

Now go to the “Startup” tab. After the above steps, on the right side of the program you will see a list of programs that load automatically. To disable a program, left-click on it and then on the right side, click “Turn off” or “Enable” (if you change your mind).

AutoRuns for Windows

If you are an advanced user, let me remind you that there is special utility from Microsoft, which allows you to work with startup. It is noteworthy that the program does not need to be installed, just download it from the link (Microsoft official website) and run the program.

The program can work with different versions Windows, so you don’t have to worry about this issue. To remove a program from startup, right-click on it and select “Delete”.

How to add programs to the Startup folder

If you need to add a program to startup, then everything is extremely simple. To add a program to startup, move the program shortcut to this folder. Accordingly, you can remove a program by removing its shortcut from Startup.

Search the registry

This the method will work for more advanced PC users. It won't help you find a folder, but it will allow you to add necessary programs into startup (this is done using special sections in the system Windows registry 10).

So, first of all, launch the “Run” dialog box (we described above how to do this). Enter the regedit command into it, press “Enter” and look for the following branch in the registry editor:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run (for current user).

Now in the “Value” field, specify the path to the exe file of the required application.

Finally, I would like to remind you that a large number of programs in startup negatively affect the performance of the system, but thanks to the methods described above, you can easily not only add, but also remove unnecessary programs from there.

For visual perception, you can watch the video:

I propose in today's article to examine Windows startup 10 per atom and then collected and kept sterile.

operating system. I can name you a few important reasons why this is so:

automatic launch of a large number of necessary and unnecessary programs increases the loading time of the operating system several times.

2. If you cannot remove the virus, then exclude its files from startup and reboot, after which the antivirus will be able to removemalware.

3. Or maybe, on the contrary, you want to automatically launch a program, in this case add a shortcut executable file this application to the folder“Startup” and it will start along with the OS.

The attentive reader will notice that stopping programs that start at system startup is a difficult task, since there is no one place where this can be done. Some programs are located in the “Startup” folder and therefore start along with the operating system, others are located in the task scheduler, others are launched using the registry, but the task only seems difficult, because with the help of certain tools built into the OS, we can very easily exclude everything unwanted programs from startup, and necessary software- add to it.

Friends, in general there are a lot of nuances in this topic, and in today’s article I tried to write the most basic things. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments. IN You can ask me about any element of your startupand I will tell you whether you need to turn it off or not.

As has already been noted, and automatically launching a large number of programs increases the loading time of the operating system by minutes, but if the antivirus must be launched along with the OS, then many applications do not particularly need this. Let's start looking at specific life examples.

Us in service center They brought a laptop with installed Windows 10, which takes a very long time to load. First of all, let's look at the system startup. Zout of 15 programs, the user needs only one at autorun -Realtek dispatcher. I'll prove why, and then I'll show you how you can turn it all off.

Note: Pay attention to the “Impact on startup” column, it is this that allows you to evaluate how much the program affects the loading speed of the OS. If the impact of the application on startup is “High”, then the program may slow down the system boot.

1. AbDocsDllLoader.exe- the process belongs software developer Acer and is not necessary. What is he doing -allows users to synchronize text documents on all their devices, but at one time even Acer support could not explain to me exactly how this happens and they whispered to me not to pay attention to it.

2. Acronis TIB Monitor- belongs to the program Acronis True Image that can create backups operating system and, if necessary, recover using them in the future. But what's interesting is that the program Acronis on this moment not installed on this laptop, owner last time I used it a year ago and then deleted it, but some of the files remained and started with the OS.

3. Adobe Updater Startup Utility- this process monitors upcoming updates Adobe applications(‎Photoshop, ‎Adobe Reader, ‎ Adobe Acrobat and etc.). The listed programs are updated once a year, so there is no need to spend time every day running this process.

5. CHP (Create Hidden Process)- belongs to the program for setting up an Internet connection from the Beeline provider, but the owner of the laptop uses the Internet from Rostelecom.

6. Download Master - a well-known file downloader, but the owner of the laptop has never used it and does not even know about its existence. Apparently the bootloader was installed as a batch installation with some other software.

7. Epson Status Monitor - working programm printer Epson. A year ago, a printer from this manufacturer was connected to a laptop and will not be connected again.

9. Microsoft OneDrive - cloud service from Microsoft. The owner of the laptop uses Yandex Disk and He doesn't need OneDrive.

10. Notifier- a utility from Beeline, but since the laptop now has Internet from another provider, we don’t need it.

11. NVIDIA Backend- a program that selects from its database optimal settings for your games. I want to say that even gamers don’t use it and turn it off.

12. NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy- process related to GeForce Experience- provides automatic update drivers for your video card. On this laptop it did not work correctly and I had to safe mode roll back to the old driver.

13. Skype- a well-known communication program, but the owner of the laptop uses it once a month and is able to launch it manually.

14. www.rvulkan- a shortcut found in startup that launches the Amigo browser with the Vulcan casino website along with the system.

15. Realtek Manager- configuration program sound card your laptop.

It is important to note here that basically the purpose of a particular program is clear from its name, but if you cannot install - useful application is in your startup or not, then firstly, you can ask me, and secondly, right-click on the program and select “Search on the Internet”, as a result, using a search engine you will find out exactly what function it has on your system or other application.

How to clear startup in Windows 10

To disable autorun of any program, right-click on it and select “Disable”. For example, let's disable autorun of the Download Master program.

Exactly the opposite, you can enable program autorun. It should be noted here that unnecessary software located in autorun can also be removed. For example, let's delete Download program Master. This can be done in the usual way in the "Uninstall or change a program" panel or right-click on the program and select "Open" file location»,

The personal application folder will open. The file unins000.exe is usually responsible for deleting any program; double-click with the left mouse to launch it and delete the application.

In some cases the fileunins000.exe will not exist, for example, clickright click on the shortcut"www.rvulkan" and select “Open file location”, the folder will open

C:\Users\Your username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup,

which will contain a shortcut that automatically opens a malicious site when the system starts, in this case you need to remove the shortcut.

It is important to note here that there are two folders with the name in Windows 10.

For a specific user, the folder is located at:

You can open it in a very simple way.

Start-->Run, enter the command in the input field: shell:startup

The startup folder for all users is located at a different address:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Why novice users cannot find the Startup folder in Explorer

The fact is that in the explorer of Russian-language Windows 10, the path to startup looks like this:

Your username\ AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Main Menu\Programs\Startup

but in address bar the path is indicated in Latin:

C:\Users\Your username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

How to add a program to startup

To add a program to startup, you can simply place a shortcut to that program in your startup folder. If you don’t know how to create a shortcut, then read our detailed one.

Friends, unfortunately, the autostart of many programs (including viruses) cannot be displayed in the device manager on the “Startup” tab; in this case, we will use the registry and task scheduler, as well as services.

What to do if the files of a program are not in startup, but it still starts with the system

Automatically launched programs in the registry

Device Manager will not always show you programs loaded with the operating system, including In this case, you need to try to disable autorun applications using the registry.

Launch Registry Editor.

Start-->Run, enter the command in the input field: regedit

In the window that opens, go to the section:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

(this section belongs to the user profile).

In the window that opens, you will see all the programs that are launched for the current user when logging into Windows 10.

If necessary, you can remove any of them; to do this, right-click on the line parameter with the name of the program you do not need and select"Delete".

To edit a registry key that belongs to all users, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

you can do this right here. Click right-click on the Run section and select “Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section”.

Windows 10 Task Scheduler

Scheduler Windows jobs- a tool for running a program under given conditions.

A very insidious place that novice users avoid with their attention (due to its apparent complexity), virus writers know about it and prescribe the launch of their malware in the task scheduler.

Finding a malicious entry in the scheduler is quite easy.

Start-->Run. Enter in the input line taskschd.msc and click OK.

In the window that opens, left-click on the “Task Scheduler Library” item and on the right side of the window we see all the scheduler entries.

Let's look at the existing records and try to find malicious ones.

Note: Feel free to ask me in the comments about any suspicious post!

Friends, there are mostly entries here that belong to normal program developers, such as Acer, Google, and so on, but there is still one suspicious entry. Double click left mouse click on the suspicious entry with the name “internet”,

As you can see, the task does not have any description. Go to the “Actions” tab.

On the tab “Actions” always contains information about which file launches this particular scheduler task.

In our case, the task launches a malicious browser"Amigo."

We delete this entry in the scheduler. Right-click on the entry with the name “internet” and select “Delete”.

"Yes"

Disable automatically starting services

You all know that in the operating system in background There are many services running that belong to Windows itself. Most services start automatically along with the OS. If you look at it, some services are not at all necessary and can be disabled; to do this, you need to disable the automatic start of the service you have selected in the “Services” snap-in. For example, let’s disable “ Service Bluetooth support » , due to the lack of such devices.

"Control Panel"

"System and safety"

"Administration"

Some programs automatically or at your direction get the ability to autorun, which means that they will start on their own every time you turn on the computer. This feature has two sides: the positive is that you can force programs that you often use to start automatically, eliminating the need to do this manually, the negative is that a large number of them will automatically running applications occupy operational memory, overloading the computer. Therefore, below we will tell you where the startup folder is located in Windows 10, how to open it and configure the list of applications that launches independently.

Where is the startup folder in Windows 10, how to open it

There are several ways to configure the list of startup programs in Windows 10. The most convenient ones are through the task manager or special folder, but for advanced users there are other options: editing the registry or task scheduler.

In the task manager

1. Right-click on an empty space in the line quick access and select "Task Manager".
2. This section contains all programs included in the list of self-starting ones. In the “Impact on launch” column you can see the results of the analytics carried out by the system about how much this program slows down the computer startup.
3. Right-click on the program that you want to prevent from starting automatically and select “Disable” to remove it from the startup list.
4. If you mistakenly disabled the wrong program, you can get it back before restarting the task manager for the first time. To do this, right-click on it and select “Enable”. You cannot add new programs to startup through the task manager; this can be done using the following methods.

In a folder on your hard drive

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Navigate to the following path: Primary Drive:\ Users\ Account Name\ AppData\ Roaming\ Microsoft\ Windows\ Start Menu\ Programs\ Startup. It is possible that some folders will be named in Russian, so it is better to use the second method.
3. The second way to open go to the Startup folder is to open the Run program.
4. And run the shell:startup command.
5. In the final folder you will find shortcuts to programs that are in autorun. Remove the shortcut for the program that you do not want to see in this list.
6. To add a new application, create a shortcut for it and move it to the Startup folder.

Editing Registry Settings

1. Using a search engine Windows string, launch the Run program.
2. Use the regedit command to go to the registry editor.
3. Moving along the folder tree on the left side of the window, follow the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
4. You will see several string parameters, each of which represents one startup program. You can find out which parameter applies to a particular program by its name or by the “Value” line, which indicates the path to the program shortcut.
5. To remove a program from startup, delete the string parameter associated with it.
6. To add a program, create a string parameter, name it as you wish, and in the “Value” line indicate the path to the program’s shortcut or to the exe file itself that launches it.

Through job scheduling

1. Type “Task Scheduler” in the Windows search bar and open the found program.
2. By moving from folder to folder in the Task Scheduler Library block, you can find all the programs and tasks that run on your computer automatically when certain conditions occur.
3. If you find a task that you don't think should run automatically, select it and click the "Delete" button.
4. To add a program to the list of startup programs, click on the “Create a simple task” button.
5. Specify a name and description for the task being created.
6. Since we are creating a program that will restart itself after the computer is turned on, in the "Trigger" step, select the "When the computer starts" option.
7. At the “Selecting an action for a task” stage, check the box next to the “Run a program” line.
8. On last step specify the path to the file that launches the program. You can specify additional arguments or conditions, but in our case this is not necessary.
9. Confirm all entered and entered data by clicking the “Finish” button.

Setting up autorun

If you want to configure the computer startup settings, as well as programs that are in autorun mode, then follow these steps:

1. Press the Win+R keys simultaneously to activate the Run program.
2. Use the msconfig command.
3. A window will open with several tabs. In the first section, “General,” you can select one of the computer startup options: normal, diagnostic, or custom. Normal - the standard option that is installed in the system by default, diagnostic - is used if you need to boot the computer if there are errors in the system, custom - allows you to perform a normal boot, but with additional parameters: run only system services, launch programs from startup or do not launch any of this.
4. In the Download section you can do more detailed setup startup options, and also choose which operating system the computer will start with if you have several installed.
5. The Services section lists all the services running on the computer. You should not disable or enable them if you do not know which one is responsible for what, otherwise you can cause system failure.
6. In the "Service" section you can find a list system programs and information about what function they perform and where they are located.
7. In the “Startup” section, you can configure a list of programs that start automatically. You may be prompted to go to Task Manager and make settings there because the settings in System Configuration and Task Manager are related and complement each other.

Problems with startup

Programs that should start automatically may not do so for the following reasons:

• First, make sure your program is added to the startup list. You may have added it before, but it has been removed.
• Check whether the program itself is working and whether its files are damaged.
• A program added to the startup list can start only after you confirm its launch with administrator rights. Since when automatic start it cannot give you a notification asking for permission to launch, the system ignores it in the startup list. The way out of this situation is to disable User Account Control.

Disabling UAC

Programs that make changes to system files and processes require startup confirmation. This is necessary so that the application does not have the ability to automatically change system parameters, but does so only with your permission. But using this feature interferes with autorun, so you should disable it. This method disables UAC completely, and the second option, described in the next paragraph, is only for a specific program.

1. Through search bar Windows launch the computer control panel.
2. Go to " Accounts users."
3. Click on the “Change UAC settings” button.
4. In the window that opens, move the slider to the very bottom to disable the control.

Disable UAC for a specific program

If you are not interested in disabling control for all programs, then you can deactivate it for only one by following these steps:

Always keep track of how many programs start automatically. Sometimes, they open and then run in the background, making it difficult to notice that they are running. Therefore, regularly check the list of startup programs and disable unnecessary ones so that they do not overload the computer’s operating memory.
