I've moved my Windows install around to different versions of Windows for a long time, from Intel to AMD, I haven't re-installed I just keep the install I have clean. I used Autoruns and found all these old programs and dlls relating to Media Centre and all kinds from way back in the day. Cleaned it all out. Now on AMD so helped me clean out anything relating to Intel drivers too.
I knew about most of this already, but I still liked watching the video because it reminded me to do some basic cleanup on my computer. I did have a few programs to disable!
Oh God the ptsd. I had a mail client that autostarted with windows and it kept autostarting after I uninstalled it telling me there was no programme to run the client with. I needed a 3rd party tool to remove it. What a hassle. It was probably in services, I think I only didn't check there

@@Kimarnic i ran win7 years after it had its last update, delved into not so bright corners of the internet, and never got a virus. it mostly depends on who's in front of the pc. im not gonna update to win11 anytime soon, and i also disabled all updates of win10 bc you can't separate securityupdates from content addons anymore...liked that in win7.
If I'm not mistaken, in Windows 10, if you open your Settings and click on Apps and then Startup, you can see all of the apps that are set to start up when windows loads. It will also show the loading impact each listed app has on the start up process.
While you're not wrong, you could do the same from Task Manager's Startup tab since *Windows 8,* including the loading impact display. It has just been there as a UWP replacement since Windows 10.
There's a registry location that also auto-starts applications. There's actually two: one under user registry, other for the system during startup. Windows in MSConfig used to show startup items and where they are defined to start.
If you can't find the setting in System -> Notifications try changing "Sort by" to Name. That'll change the listing to sort by name so you can look under "S" for Startup App Notfication
For autoruns, if you are using a standard user's account (which 99.999% of you should), then you will see only items that run under your account. You need to run autoruns under an administrator's login, in order to see everything that Windows is starting.
@@MrDarkblader1 If you accidentally run malware, then as a standard user, the malware will not be able to harm your computer in an overall way. For example, any other logins will not be affected. The malware will not be able to touch any system files, or put files in any protected areas. If you are logged in as an administrator, then the malware will have full reign to do nearly anything it wants to do. The malware can replace executables in your system32 directory, and will have access to every user's documents. As a standard user, you will be able to do anything you need to do with your daily activities. If you install anything that needs administrator access, then you will be prompted to give the admin password to allow the installation to proceed. Also, you might accidentally delete a system file while logged in as an administrator. Whereas, if you were logged in as a standard user, you would get an error or warning and the delete command will be rejected by Windows.
@@MrDarkblader1 My comment keeps disappearing. Hopefully this time it will survive. But I will keep it brief, to hopefully avoid some bot algorithm from tossing it. An administrator account gives full access to everything on your computer. If something nasty gets run under your login, then anything and everything on your computer can get deleted, changed, etc, including documents by any users. As a standard user, nothing outside of your own account can be harmed. If you need to install new software, and that software needs admin permission to be installed, you will be prompted. So as a standard user, you will be able to do everything that you need to do.
Hey man, I wanted to ask about Glary Utilities. I noticed the program in your notifications page. I was told that clearing up the registry is a bad idea, but I do like the other features packed inside. What do you think? Should we ever use a third-party software to clean up the Windows registry? Thank you for your response. It would be great to see a video talking about this. If you have already done one, please let me know. 🥂
I would sometimes enable the unassigned-by-default Windows sound for programs opening and closing, but unfortunately it seems services/processes are opening and closing all the time so it's definitely not informative. But when you're skinning and adding sounds to make your computer look and sound like Star Trek LCARS, it's perfect for effortlessly making your computer beep and boop constantly in the background. 🤣
I didn't know those extras, but i installed here for trying it and everything that i didn't want were already disabled in the hard way. But good to know!

Just a small error: windows services can never contain or lunch an app with an UI. Windows will immediately abort the process if it tries to do anything UI related.
Wait, if I do the “Run | Shell:startup” thing, I get _zero_ files in the _Startup_ folder. (It says “This folder is empty.”) _But_ if I go to my Apps | Startup folder, there are 26 apps that can run on Startup (depending on whether the app is set to “On” or “Off”). Are those the “services”? They just seem like “apps” to me.
I get a notice for Google Updater, and I go in and turn off Google Updates at start up and somehow it just gets re-enabled, and I get the notice again. It will not stay turned off.
@ThioJoe, if Windows has shut down unexpectedly (e.g., if the power goes out), when you start it back up, it will automatically restart various programs which were running when it shut down. That includes web browsers like Chrome and Edge, and some of the other programs which come with windows. I've not been able to find out HOW it does those automatic one-time restarts. (I'd like to disable it for Chrome!) Do you know?
I recently experienced an issue with Windows 11 that caused apps to launch with a delay of exactly 60 seconds when I opened them through the Start menu or File Explorer. It's strange but this delay does not apply to UWP apps, and I have an instant app launch if I just use third-party file managers. I have tried rolling back updates, different UAC settings, disabling custom entries from the context menu, and cleaning the registry, but none of these solutions have helped. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I still haven't found a solution.
I don't need such feature. It's because I know when something is running at startup. I don't randomly install 50 programs, just to be surprised that it runs when I don't want to. Plus this feature would be annoyingly distracting.
the problem is i have 15 programs that I have running that i have set to run at startup so does that mean I'm going to get 15 notifications when i boot up my pc along with whatever other app is running in the background at startup?
I destroyed everything realted to ms when "recall" was published. Never going to allow a single update anymore. I much prefer w11 over w10 simply for the driver stability. But recall is a no no.
Discord is a pain in the ass. I had go set it to start on boot. Then use Task Manager to disable it. Then disable it via Discord settings. It isnt in shell:startup snd it does some other shady stuff.
You may just not have selected the actual startup application listed in Task Manager. It's usually mislabeled as something to do with Github, as a result of Discord always running the updater before it launches the application itself, and Discord apparently using the Github updater packages to keep the client up to date.
@@pacicidal No, Updater shows a Discord favicon in Task Manager for me. On Windows 11 Pro, latest version. Once I enabled it in Discord, then disabled it on startup in TM, then disabled it via Discord again, it finally stopped launching on startup.

Its not only install or update, sometimes when you just run the program (uhhmm VPN ahhmm) it will add itself back to startup.
IMHO Autoruns from Sysinternals should have a colour setting so that red = DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING THIS.
Orange = Edit at your own risk
Green = sure, go ahead and mess with this option, it'll be fine.
If you could put this into a email with step by step printable instructions? That would be great!
I predict that more programs will be made to not work properly unless their startup program is always running.
