The programs that automatically run at start of your Windows operating system are the Windows Startup Programs. Multiple programs may pop-up or execute in the background at the startup. These pop-ups and background executions may delay your startup time and make the computer very slow. It is always better to timely manage the startup programs in order to reduce the startup time and increase the loading speed.
The conventional way of managing Windows startup programs is to open each individual application and deselect the normally available setting “Run at startup”. This could be a tedious job if hundreds of programs are present. Given below is the best way of managing Windows startup programs with CCleaner.
