How to manage (enable/disable) startup apps on Windows 10? Here's two ways to do it

The more software you install on your system, the more time it takes to start the operating system. This happens because few installations add startup entries that launch apps in the background when the system boots to Windows, resulting in delayed logon.

If you are facing bootup delay, here you can find options to disable the startup programs and make your computer faster than earlier.

In Windows, when you boot to your computer, some apps start running without any manual actions. These are either defined by Microsoft or any other 3rd-party apps that you have installed.
