Description from the creator

This video will show you how to add programs to run on boot on Windows 10.

First, go to the start menu, type run, and hit enter.

In the box that pops up, type shell:startup

This will bring you to the Windows startup folder. Any application added to the folder will start automatically on boot.

To add a program here, go to the start menu and find the program you want to add. Right click on the program, go to more, and select open file location. Here, right click on the shortcut to the application you want, and select copy. Then go back to the startup folder and right click and choose paste. This program will now start on startup.

If you want to remove the program from starting on boot, just delete the program from the folder.

You can also stop a program from starting on startup by right clicking on your task bar, choosing task manager, then going to more details in the bottom left, then choosing the startup tab at the top.

If there are any programs in that list you want to stop from running on startup, just click on them and hit disable in the bottom right. Click on any disabled items and hit enable to re-enable them.
