Windows 10: W10 Startup list

Is there a list somewhere that I can access to check what startup programs I can stop from starting?
Running W10 and this is on a business computer that is slow to boot.

How do I startup and use my computer without entering a password?

How do I remove my password from W10 startup

 

Windows 10 enable number lock

Cannot enable numbers lock key in W10 startup. Value key of 2 does not work

 

Open Task Manager (if it says 'more details' at the bottom, click on that to get the tabbed view). Click on the 'Start-up' tab.

For those who really want to grub down into the goriest of possible details about Startup stuff, Microsoft Sysinternals Autoruns is the ultimate tool. This one needs a tutorial, and gets a pretty good one from the HowToGeek at SysInternals Pro: Using Autoruns to Deal with Startup Processes and Malware. Shoot, I even wrote about this for InformIT back in 2009: Top Five Sysinternals Windows Utilities. Check Autoruns out, but heed this warning: It's not for the faint at heart!

+1 for Autoruns. I use it on all my PCs.

 

top software sysinternals a must have for all Windows users ☺️

 

You can try a clean boot and compare boot times: first part of

If your boot is still slow, there is a much more technical approach to analyse slow boot times using the Windows Performance Analyser e.g.
VERY slow boot, only when restarting [SSD EVO 250gb] - Windows 10 Forums

Thanks for all the responses. I have printed out the startup list and have been checking each one. I have found about 9 that I can safely disable. The rest I am not sure about, for instance 2 entries for Quick Books. They use Quick Books for their business. Does it need to run at startup? Can it be disabled at startup and not affect their business? I am not doing anything until I get a second HD so I can clone it as a backup.
