How to disable Windows 8.1 Startup Programs.

How to disable Windows 8.1 Startup Programs.

There are, of course, a couple ways to get to the same place with Windows, and that’s no different in Windows 8.1. First, from the Modern Start screen type: msconfig and hit Enter.

Start Screen

Or from the desktop, just like Windows 7, right-click the Taskbar and select Task Manager.

Taskbar

Either way you do it, the new Task Manger will open on the desktop. Click the Startup tab to see the items set to run when you boot your system. Right-click on any of the programs to and click Disable.

The program will still appear on the list, but the Status will change to Disabled. Right-click an app again and select Enable to have it run during startup.

Disable
