How to disable startup programs in windows 10 launched automatically?

Process Explorer is a powerful free tool from Microsoft’s Sysinternals suite that provides detailed information about running processes. While it’s primarily used for monitoring and troubleshooting processes, it can also help identify startup programs and processes that auto-start.

However, Process Explorer does not directly disable startup programs Windows 10 like a traditional startup manager. Instead, it allows you to find processes related to startup items and then you can manually delete or disable startup program Windows 10 from their source.

1. Download and run Process Explorer:

2. Identify startup-related processes:

   Use the search feature (Ctrl + F) to look for known startup programs or services.

   Look for processes that launch automatically or are associated with startup entries.

3. Trace processes to their source:

   Right-click on a process and choose Properties.

   Check the Image Path to see where the process is located (e.g., in the Startup folder, Registry, etc.).

4. Disable startup processes manually:

   Once identified, you can disable or delete the associated startup entries via:

   Task Manager (for startup items)

   Registry Editor (for registry-based startup entries)

   Startup folder (for shortcut-based startup items)

   Task Scheduler (for scheduled tasks)
