Disable Startup Programs
In the past few weeks I have been asked how to disable an annoying program that was starting up after logon. A few programs that commonly startup by default are Skype and GoToMeeting. If you have Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, this is the easiest way to prevent most programs from starting up after you log into Windows.
- Right-click the Taskbar
- Select Task Manager
- At the bottom, click More details (This may have already been done)
- Click the Startup tab
- Right-click the program you would like to disable and select Disable
Please make sure not to disable any programs that are critical to the normal operation of your PC. If you accidentally disable a program, you can use the same process to enable the program again. You can also call the Help Desk if you are having trouble with a program starting up at logon.
Awesome! I couldn't figure this out!
