I took control of Windows startup and sped up my PC in seconds

This simple change makes a huge difference!

Hey, everyone! Today I'm going to show you how to set apps to not load on startup in Windows.

App developers usually program their apps to load and open by default when you boot into Windows, which puts them front and center. But in my experience, they often just get in the way and block the view of my desktop.

Having a bunch of apps load on startup can also significantly increase boot times, and how long it takes for your computer to feel responsive after loading. They also delay me doing what I want to do immediately. I'm forced to either laboriously close them down or else acknowledge a prompt before I can do anything on my PC.
