  1. How do I disable Windows from Looking for network drives at the startup?


    So I have this PC that I'm trying to resolve which is working but just scans for a network drive upon every boot. The network drive no longer exists and command prompt forces me to press the ESC key to quit out of the command prompt and continue booting Windows and then loads up with this technician menu:So the unit is working but every time Windows boots the ESC key is required to continue functionality. This is a problem because the software we are installing on this device should just auto load when Windows loads and require no user input as the keyboards and mice won't be connected. I don'

    How do I disable Windows from Looking for network drives at the startup?

    Win 2016 word automatically launch on Windows 10 startup

    I have tried these two options below but they did not work.Any Ideas----------------- Steps to disable startup programs in Windows 10:
    NOT IN START UP FOLDER


    1. Step 1: Click the lower-left Start button, type msconfig in the blank search box and choose msconfig to open System Configuration.
    2. Step 2: Select Startup and tap Open Task Manager.
    3. Step 3: Click a startup item and tap the bottom-right Disable button.
    I have done this in reverse and it does not work—meaning I took out word short cut

    First, create a shortcut of the Document and place it on (say, Desktop).

    Then, go to the following location:

    Your Drive:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Drop your Shortcut into the Startup folder. However, when you cold boot your computer, your Desktop will first show up and then a few seconds later the Doc should appear.
