Restrict Startup Processes from Loading When Windows Start

Do you want a certain process not to load on startup? Then this tip is right for you.

Usually the reason why you don’t want this to run during Windows start is because you find it not important. Furthermore, this program(s) eats a lot of CPU bandwidth.

There are many ways to do this. You can use Registry Editor (regedit) or System Configuration Utility (msconfig) or even Services (services.msc). In this article we will use the System Configuration Utility to get rid of a certain program from running on startup. Below are the steps how:

1. Open System Configuration Utility by using RUN command and typing there msconfig.
   
2. In the Services and / or Startup tab, you can uncheck the programs / applications that you don’t need to be loaded during windows startup.

Just make sure that you don’t really need the program and it will not affect your entire system. Anyway, you can undo/revert the changes by opening msconfig again and check those needed programs.

that’s it.
