How to See Startup Impact of Startup Apps in Windows 8 and Windows 10


Information Starting with Windows 8, new functionality has been added to Windows to ensure that end users are always in control of the apps that run on their systems. The Startup tab in Task Manager shows a list of startup apps, along with controls that allow users to disable startup apps. To help users determine what to disable, Task Manager displays a measure of each startup app’s impact. Impact is assessed based on an app’s CPU and disk usage at startup.

For more details, see: Desktop Startup apps - Compatibility Cookbook

This tutorial will show you how to see what the startup impact is for your startup apps on your Windows 8 or Windows 10 PC.



Here's How:

1. Open Task Manager in more details view.

2. Click/tap on the Startup tab in Task Manager. (see screenshots below)

3. You will now see the Startup impact of your startup items.


Note Impact values are determined by applying these criteria:

[table][tr][td]Startup impact[/td] [td]Description[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]High[/td] [td]Apps that use more than 1 second (1000 ms) of CPU time or more than 3 MB of disk I/O at startup[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Medium[/td] [td]Apps that use 300 ms - 1000 ms of CPU time or 300 KB - 3 MB of disk I/O[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Low[/td] [td]Apps that use less than 300 ms of CPU time and less than 300 KB of disk I/O[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Not measured[/td] [td]The application was not run at startup.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]None[/td] [td]The startup app has been disabled and was not run at startup.[/td] [/tr] [/table]







That's it,

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
