Ctrl + Shift + Escto open Task Manager. -
Go to the
Startuptab to see a list of programs that start with your computer. -
Right-click on any unnecessary programs and select
Disable.
For macOS:
-
Open
System Settings. -
Navigate to
General>Login Items. -
Remove unnecessary programs by selecting them and clicking the
-button.
For Linux:
- Access the startup applications manager via your system’s settings or control panel.
- Disable or remove unnecessary programs from the list.
Why This Works:
By turning off starting apps that you don't need, you can make your CPU and memory work less hard during boot-up. This will make your system respond faster overall.
Also, managing startup programs and checking for them on a daily basis can help keep your computer safe from security risks caused by unwanted or harmful software.
Extra Tip: Make sure you have the latest speed changes and security patches by updating your operating system and apps on a regular basis.
