Starting icons?

Can someone please explain the Startup icons on the lower right side of the screen? I was told if you have many it slows down your computer. You can disable these? I wouldn't mind having to click on something to use. U can develop?

Hello

Startup programs can slow down the system if they use too many resources. Some who
start in SysTray/Notification area uses a lot of memory and others not. These methods
you will assess 'footprint' of each and to determine where you want to start when
Windows will load. Need to leave the operation of programs and services by default Windows icons
running - clock - Volume - network and power.

  • my laptop is very, very slowly. its slow slow start icon

    My laptop crashed and I formatted my hard drive, loaded Windows 7 basic, but because of a different manufacturer, had to download the drivers for my pc on the go again. Since it is very very slow, some icons show and sometimes not at all show without reason. I have an antivirus installed but something is slowing down even start to the top and remains white screen too long. What can I do?

    After that I see your pc specifications, your ram is too small for windows work properly. You need at least 2 GB for your pc. Use Windows 7 Home Edition Premium or the latest version of Windows 7 because Windows 7 Basic can take support only 2 GB of ram. If you don't want to change your windows, I suggest you use Advanced System Care Free. It will search and solve the detected problem. You can go to the official Web page of Iobit for more information.

  • Start icon disappears from the taskbar. Command prompt concludes that he cannot fix corrupted files.

    My power icon disappeared from my taskbar after a reboot. Following the advice of the Forum I turned on command prompt and asked the sfc/scannow.

    After a long search, I received notification that there were a few corrupted files and not all could be fixed. This had occurred previously in 2012.

    After a security alert, security, I downloaded the program named Emet. After reading more below in the Microsoft forum, I found the comments which Emet

    may damage files. I decided to uninstall Emet. When I finished that I discovered that the Emet icon has disappeared from the taskbar along

    with the battery icons and a few other icons. I took my Asus laptop at Best Buy and the tech there called a Microsoft service don't. and

    has got instructions to restore the missing icons using the appropriate record. It was in summer 2012. When I stopped my laptop Sunday, December 21, 13

    and then reopened Tuesday, December 23, 13 I found that, once more, my power icon had disappeared from the notification area. The correspondent

    subprogrammes in the control panel for the management of the icons in the notification area were inoperative for the icon of power and a few others. This

    Hi Ronald,.

    When you first start a new computer, the operating system typically runs Startup service initializations that can take anywhere from one to six hours to finish, depending on which applications are preloaded on the computer. Make sure that you give the operating system sufficient time to finish these Startup service initializations until you stop or restart the computer. This problem generally not happen once the operating system has completed initialization of all before background services is restarted.

    I suggest you refer to the following article which has a few registry tweaks to solve the problem. Please follow the steps and check out them.

    Hi Timmsey,

    -You are able to boot to the desktop?

    The issue may be caused if you have changed the hardware and software of the computer settings.

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc.) except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download software updated driver for the device.
