With the help of MS Config is always a good option, but you must be sure of what you are doing here because there are number of programs and services that are running,

After you install windows defender

You can open to Defender

Click on tools

Click Software Explorer

And choose Magic Jack and disable at startup,

You can also use this program to disable other programs you don't want to start when loading/starting allow your computer startup and load faster.

  • How can I prevent certain programs to autostart on start my computer

    Several recently installed programs starting now opens automatically, thereby extending the time of start-up.  How can I delete them so that I can access from the desktop or the menu 'start '?

    Several recently installed programs starting now opens automatically, thereby extending the time of start-up.  How can I delete them so that I can access from the desktop or the menu 'start '?

    My personal opinion is that the attention that many people pay for how long it takes to start is not justified. Assuming that the speed of the computer is otherwise satisfactory, it is generally not worry. Most people start their computer once a day or even less frequently. In the overall scheme of things, even a few minutes at the start is not very important. Personally I power my computer when I get up in the morning, then go get my coffee. When I come back, he did start. I don't know how long it took to start and I do not.

    However, if you don't want to solve it, maybe it's because this programs to start automatically, and you can stop some of them to start this way. On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can get more information on the latter with research on the internet and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

    Help, please

    There are specialized tools that can help you, it depends on what you want or need to do.

    But freebies in Windows 7 are "msconfig" and "task manager".

    in "search programs and files" type "msconfig" (without quotes) press key.

    In the system configuration window that opens, look in the tab. This will give a list of a few programs that will be launched at startup.

    In addition, in msconfig, click the tab and click on "resource monitor" then . In the resource monitor, click the tab to give an idea of what programs are using your network interface.

    Right-click your taskbar, and then click "start Task Manager". Look in and , to get an idea of what is running. By default your user process list, then click "Show processes from all users" in the process to see extra tab.

    More information - msconfig - http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_win7.html

    -Task Manager - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Manager

    NOTE: But you don't only things "willy nilly", you need to understand what service/process done what before you start or stop anything.

    Click Start, run and type msconfig.

    On the Startup tab, uncheck what you think that you don't need running at startup.

    Then run a virus scan and AntiSpyware - you can find ones that are free on the net and and make sure you have a firewall too.

    Press alt-ctrl-del to bring up the Task Manager and close everything that is running that you think are also unnecessary.

    Overall be careful; confirm and backup before doing the things mentioned.

    I tried several times to get a solution to this problem.  There is a program running in the background on my computer.  It blocks my mouse and I can even hear a clatter, as when you connect a camera to your computer, or disconnect.  My computer has been analyzed by microsoft help and support was in my computer several times, and accomplished yet nothing worked.  Sometimes my mouse freezes every few seconds until it is maddening.

    It seems that you have tried a number of bugs so far without success. Here are some suggestions of what I'm going to try:

    I would also check the updates for your video card driver. Find the latest Windows Vista drivers for your specific computer model with the support site for your computer manufacturer. Be sure to get the right drivers for your specific version of Windows Vista, for example, 32-bit or 64-bit.

    If your mouse is a USB model, it can be useful to check the latest drivers for your motherboard (chipset) Vista to the support site for the manufacturer of the computer. Also, since you're here you can check for the other updated drivers for your system, i.e., audio, LAN (network), etc.

    If you have the graphics card Intel integrated, you can check on the website below:

    Update utility graphics card Driver Intel
     http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics

    If you have a dedicated graphics card, you will need to check with the card manufacturer, the two most often used are linked below:

     http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    AMD (ATI) drivers & Software graphics card

    If you have not done so, see the support site of the manufacturer of the mouse for the Vista updated drivers, known issues with your specific models or known solutions.

    An element that may cause unpredictable problems that are extremely difficult to identify are (live RAM) memory errors, Windows Vista has a built-in for system RAM check utility:

    To perform a more complete test is the use of Memtest86 but is more complex, includes the creation of a CD bootable for the test, it is not really something for difficult burn an .iso file downloaded to a blank disc (available in the free download link) and then boot from the CD.

  • How to permanently delete a recent list of the start menu program?

    Hello

    I would like to know how I can prevent a program from appearing in the list of most recently used programs on the start menu in Windows 7 (Pro).

    For example, "notebook" is in this list, but I've only start it by double-clicking on text files, never through the start menu. In this way, 4 of the 10 last menu entries are shortened I will never use and that take away space for other, more valuable shortcuts.

    I know that I can delete items manually by using the right-click menu ("remove from list"), but I really prefer a way to do this is permanent.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
    Michael

    Hi Michael

    I don't think there is a way to accomplish what you describe. There is no way to set this component to "ignore" specific programmes.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7
