For those that don't know, theres a tab in Windows task manager called Startup that let's you modify what apps get started when you log in.

You can also look at the services.msc tool and check all your startup services.

Sysinternals Autoruns is like the task manager "start up" super charged.

Disclainer, misuse can seriously fuck windows. Use with caution. Do not uncheck microsoft crap, no matter how tempting, or anything you're unsure about.

+1 for autoruns

The temptation is real though

Most raid drivers are fine to uncheck, if you have no raid. There's one that isn't really a raid driver and causes a bluescreen if unchecked but i've forgotten which.

That's what I like the most about some software companies, the names are either cryptic, or conflicting, and nobody seems to know what is what 😅

Thanks(!!!) for the reminder. I knew about it but just never think to go in there. I just now disabled a ton of things I don't need running.

Msconfig is also handy for disabling services as you can hide default MS services
