Answer 1

First of all, the ones you need are.

1) Anti-Virus

2) Any Background Program that may being running a physical device (usb, keyboard, mouse, controller, etc.)



The rest can go. This is a slightly complex, but 100% effective way to veto these programs from even starting up is to. (i`ll put it in steps)



1) Click Start

2) Click the ``Run`` button just above the shutdown button

*) If Run doesn`t appear to be there. Press Alt-Control-Delete, and click ``file, new task`` in the task manager.

3) Type in ``msconfig`` and clicking Run or OK (depends on version of windows)

4) Click the ``Start-Up`` tab

5) A list of startup processes will appear, but they are not going by their exact names. Look at the paths and names to try to figure out what they are. Un-check the unnecessary ones and apply your changes. The programs will still work, you just need to double click on them on the desktop, or find them else where like in the start menu.



Here`s some examples of ones that are unnessacary: Limewire, Microsoft Office, Steam, EA Download Manager, Live Messenger, Nero, iTunes, Quicktime, (the list goes on)



Hopefully this maximizes your system performance.

How many methods have you ever acquired going for walks on your approach tray?(wherein the clock is) Do they particularly ought to be there? Because every little application going for walks there may be slowing down your pc as all of them want house to run. It takes simply as lengthy to begin those methods from scratch because it does from the approach tray so get as many off with out making use of msconfig as you'll be able to. Go into the personal tastes of every application and uncover the 'Show icon in approach tray' and untick it. Just go away the antivirus and appropriately dispose of hardware icons and time and quantity, that is all you want. Check in PROGRAMS>STARTUP, except you could have a calendar to your computing device, not anything else will have to be on there so dispose of them via proper clicking and delete, it wont delete the application however it is going to give up them from establishing up whilst you begin your pc. Disk cleanup and defrag while you are performed. Things will have to be so much quicker via then. Only use msconfig while all else fails, this can be a well software however too ordinarily used for whatever that would be altered within the genuine application you want to give up.

Most programs that are running in the background are necessary to enable Windows to "operate" which is its job, and if you turn them "off" (control panel, administrative tools, computer management, blah blah blah just always type something you wish to find in either the Search Box on the start up menu or help box) then you find that many "essential" programs don't work anymore, and sometimes that means you have to reinsert the Windows Disk to get it back...so



When Windows starts up, it begins running those "background" programs so everything else can work, and it gets the programs that you deliberately put on your start up shortcut menu to "get ready" to be used...

Answer 4

Simply perform MS CONFIGURATION...

Go to START.

Then in RUN Type msconfig

Then go to STARTUP and click Uncheck Unwanted programs..

It will stop all the unnecessary programs running at the background of your computer system...

Answer 5

that would depend on your system and what is installed. it is not something you should try to do if your not familiar with things like this. but if you want to try doing it you can run msconfig from start/run then type msconfig and go to the startup tab.you can uncheck things you feel safe not wanting to run in there .just be very careful changing things you might need running.

Answer 6

Suggestions to do an "msconfig" alteration, although technically accurate, won't do much good for you likely.

Many of the items it shows are in acronyms, file names, or otherwise telling in completely indistinguishable terminology a processes name.

Don't use that if you don't know what's going on.
