How to disable or remove startup programs


How to disable or remove startup programs Chameleon Startup Manager is a windows startup manager (msconfig replacement) that accelerates Windows startup, ensures that the operating system is more stable. It enables the full customization of startup programs, including startup order change, startup delay, priority and much more. Chameleon Startup Manager is a perfect solution if you want to disable or remove startup programs, especially if they are constantly adding themselves to the startup list. The built-in database (with descriptions), or the Internet database, will show which programs can be disabled. To disable startup programs, just clear the corresponding checkbox in the list. If the program monitor changes, disabled startup programs will not add themselves to the startup list. To remove startup programs, click the Delete button. In this case, the program will be moved to the Recycle Bin where it can be restored if necessary. In addition, it is possible to restore accidentally removed startup programs using Windows startup configs. The history of changes is kept automatically. Chameleon Startup Manager allows you to simultaneously disable and remove multiple startup programs. To do this, select the programs and the necessary operation in the menu (programs can also be run and closed in this way). More details can be found here.
