Windows 10: How to ACTUALLY stop apps from auto-starting in the background?

Windows 10 starts apps automatically in the background, so when you start the apps, they will launch faster.
But I don't need that.

The background apps settings in the Settings app don't change anything.

Is there another workaround for that?

Look at the Photos app, it uses a ridiculous amount of RAM.

How do I stop Outlook 365 from auto starting in Win 10 - It's not in startup folder

I checked what you suggested and it was already set that way. I rebooted and it didn't restart. I think that outlook 365 is just so slow at shutting down it may still be running when I shut down the PC and then reopens next time i power up. I checked and
even though it does not show up as running it will restart unless I wait some amount of time between when I shut down outlook 365 and shut down the pc.

Try this work around.

Open Start > Settings > Accounts > sign-in options

Scroll down to Privacy

Toggle off

Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart.

 

Here you go: Background Apps - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

I forgot to mention that I already tried these before,and obviously they didn't work. That's why I came here to ask.

 

You could always go to services and either turn them to manual, delayed start or even disable them entirely I guess.

Welcome to the forums btw *Smile

 

But they're not services.

 

@UltimatePOPCORN, They don't appear to be background processes either. You cropped your screenshot a bit too much to tell for sure, but the only way I can reproduce a screenshot that looks like yours is to actually run the Apps...





...when (of course) they will need some memory. When closed, they don't appear in my Task Manager at all - either in the
Apps (..) or Background processes (...) lists. Do you have them set to run at start-up? Look in Task Manager's Start-up tab, if that turns out to be the case you can disable them there.

 

My startup tab only has the Realtek Audio Manager thingy, which I would keep.
Same for scheduled tasks, I only have the system tasks and my own stuffs.

Sometimes they appear in the task manager as background progresses, and I want to stop that from happening.

 

go to app setting , click it . do not let it Auto- start . it works

 

I already did that, and it didn't work.
They still start as background processes.
