Tech Tip – How To Speed Up Your Windows PC Startup

Did you know that with a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can speed up your Windows PC startup time.

Here is how to do it:

• Start your Windows computer and login
• Launch task manager by simultaneously pressing CTRL + Shift + Esc
• Click the "Startup" or "Startup Apps" menu tab
• Look at the Startup Impact column to see hat impact each application is having on starting up Windows 
• Select any applications that you know you don't need to automatically launch at start up, right click the application and select "Disable"

Note: be careful if you disable applications from starting up when Windows boots, especially if you are not sure what it does, you might speed up Windows but you might prevent certain things from working.
