How to delete start up items

In this tutorial I will show you how to delete items from MSCONFIG to speed up the start up of your computer

  1. Click the start bar and search for “MSCONFIG” then press the enter key.
  2. In the new window select the “Start-up” tab (anything which has a tick next to the item will start-up during windows start up and anything which does not have a tick next to it will not start up)
  3. From this screen you just want to untick the items you don’t require to start-up with windows (I personally disable things like: I tunes, Adobe reader and other things which I know I can launch if I need to use them)
  4. once you have disabled everything you don’t need click “Apply” the “OK”
  5. You will now see a pop up window just make sure “Don’t show this message again” is ticked and click “Restart now”

If you have accidentally removed a start-up item you found out you needed just simply follow the steps again and tick the items you want to start up with windows.
