When we start our Windows computer many other programs also start with the system. Some of them are important system programs necessary for successful Windows startup while some are unnecessary and can be avoided.
As we install more and more applications on the computer, the startup time will increase and the PC will become slower because many programs automatically add them to the startup list. So the result is slow Windows startup and slow computer overall.
So how do we take care of the problem? Well, Windows comes with a System Configuration utility (MSCONFIG) that can help us with Windows startup problems. You can prevent some unnecessary programs from starting while Windows loads.
This method can be applied in all three versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Step 1. Start your computer and check which program loads automatically that you don’t need (eg MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, etc.). Such programs can always be started manually later when you need them.
Step 2. Click the start button
and go to Run (by typing “Run” on the search box) or press the Windows Key + R button.
Step 3. Enter msconfig on the Run panel.
Step 4. Your System Configuration will be opened. Now go to the Startup tab at the top.
Step 5. Now you can see all the startup programs on your Windows computer. The system configuration also shows you all the basic information related to the startup program such as the manufacturer name, the directory where the files are downloaded during startup.
If you don’t want to run unnecessary programs that you may not use often like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Yahoo messenger that start with windows, you can remove them by unchecking the box next to the program name.
Do not try to disable any strange program or any program that you are not sure about using MSCONFIG. Very few programs need to run on windows startup. Disable only those programs that you think unnecessarily affect Windows’ startup speed.
Step 6. After unchecking all the necessary boxes, click the OK button. It will prompt you to restart your computer. Click the Restart button. You can also exit without rebooting and continue your work. Then, when you reboot the system, the changes will be applied and you should see a faster boot process.
That’s it. Now, you should see a significant improvement in your PC’s load time when you reboot the system.
