Windows 10: how to eliminate programs from startup. how to have programs need request to run not...

My startup takes forever. Then there are 20+ programs running that I rarely use but would like to be able to turn them on when needed. How do I modify startup to activate only the processes I need.

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

Cannot make a program to run at startup


I've used a program called Startup Manager to manually create an entry for this program called speedfan



It also appears in the startup tab on Task Manager




But I doesn't work.
The program default behavior is to open minimized as an icon in tray (it works manually)

Any suggestions ?

Mac. Programs run themselves on startup

As the title says. Im getting about 10-15 different programs running themselves on startup including Word, Powerpoint, a wireless internet toggle program, sketch up, comic life and many other programs. If you need more info please ask

I've found my way to Login items and theres only 1 box ticked there (ItunesHelper), so thats no help.

Version:
Mac OSX 10.7.2

I haven't had much exposure to macs until recently, but I'm picking it up slowly.

Any help would be appreciated.
