too many startup programs

Too many programs that start automatically when I log in I have to change this

To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
 http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".

  • Too many unused programs installed on my computer

    I have several versions of Microsoft.net framework and several other programs on my PC, I never use! However, some of them came pre-installed on the PC. How can I tell what programs can I safely uninstall, without causing problems with the PC?

    Hello

    Your decision to not change all services was wise. If you have doubts about any piece of software that you think to remove, please answer with the details of this program for more information.

    • Click the Start button
    • Click on Control Panel
    • In Control Panel, open Add/Remove programs

    This will display a list of all software installed on your PC. Some may be obvious to you if you need it and some can't. Anything you can say that you certainly shouldn't can be uninstalled from this window. In general, if you are not sure, it will be better to let the Microsoft programs installed. The same applies (but perhaps to a lesser extent) to all programs that can be identified as being associated with the manufacturer of your PC.

    Alternatively you could Google every piece of software for more information about this so that you could make a more informed decision.

  • too many programs in startup

    Im searching on why I have too many startup programs with my PC.  I understand 3rd party programs may start with my startup.  Im going to watch the video on how to determine what I can disable.  I understand that I must load the tool down.   is this tool save for down load?

    "Too much of" programs start when your computer starts all first is not really the right way to see things.  What you need to do is to decide what programs you need and that you do not.

    If you are concerned about 'slow' start, the usual culprits are programs that perform some sort of scan of your computer--which is what takes the time.  These are programs that you really want to keep, such as your antivirus and Windows Update program.  Some antivirus programs are more effective that others insofar as of the start of the scans are involved.

    Many programs can be prevented from boot to start Windows using the menu 'options' of the program and by unchecking an item that says something like "Start Skype" when I start Windows (obviously for Skype).

    Another thing to do is to click on the Start button, then all programs, then start.  The contents of the startup folder is shortcuts to programs.  If you don't want a program to start, simply delete the shortcut from the startup folder (this will NOT remove the program, you can always start it either from a computer point or its own entry in the start menu > list all programs).

    There are other methods that some programs use to automatically start, and that's why 'startup manager' utilities exist.  Some of them (e.g., Autoruns) should be used with caution, so that you do not disable something that should really be started (even if you don't think to do this).

    That your specific question, we have no way of knowing which video that you watch or what tool you are referring.  If you want advice on something like that, please provide the URL (web address) you are watching.

    How to uninstall security programs I don't have, I have more than one and do not know which to use.  they clean too many files when uninstalled

    Hello jillmarsden,

    It is not recommended to have multiple Antivirus or firewall installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts as PaulAuckNZ said. However, instead of remove antivirus in programs and features, you must go to the Antivirus website and use the removal tool which is produced by the manufacturer of the antivirus program.

    Microsoft has a free Antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides protection for your PC in real time at home that protects against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It is simple to install, easy to use and always up-to-date with protection.
    You can download from the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/securevista

    Be very careful on the acceptance of direct assistance to another user. If this user suggests that he use Remote Assistance to help you, be aware that it will have access to your computer and that your computer could be hacked.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Sincerely,

  • FF slow loading, maybe because of too many that add ons. those who know turn off? Thank you.

    FF was loading very slow for me lately, and I think that may be too many Add ons, but I don't know which ones is necessary and those that are not. Thanks for any advice.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is a few weeks ago.

    The images are of your plugins and you have only 13 of the images, but you have either deleted or disabled some of them as only 10 are in plug-ins installed at the bottom of your post. not a large number.

    What your extensions?

    There may be many reasons for any slow application at startup. Without more information, or to be in front of your system, it is difficult to diagnose. 2 suggestions below.

    Firefox Safe Mode
    You may need to use questions Troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode (click on "Safe Mode" and reading) to locate the problem. Firefox Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, place you in the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > Themes before start Safe Mode. When you enter Safe Mode, do not check all the items in the window, just click "continue mode without failure." A test to see if the problem you are experiencing is fixed.

    See:
    Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox
    Solve problems with plugins like Flash or Java to solve the common problems of Firefox
    Troubleshoot and diagnose problems in Firefox

    If the problem does not occur in mode without failure, then disable all your Extensions and Plug-ins, and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via file > restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.

    Malware scan
    Install, update and run these programs in this order. They are provided free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in "free" mode, but those are features that you don't really need to find and eliminate the problem that you have. (Not all programs detect the malware even.)

  • Too many running processes?

    While playing a game online (Aces High), the program stops working and I am getting an Aces High EXE.

    When you talk with their tech support they said I have too many processes running during the game. I looked into the Task Manager and it says I have 64 of them running. Aces High-tech support said I should about 35 processes running and maybe I could eliminate some of them. They also said that I should reduce the detail of the screen of the game a little.
    I use my pc for a game online and email and occasional printing. Should I have that a lot of process?

    I tried to find out what processes are for and I really can't understand them. So I don't know what to delete. What can I do to improve the performance of the machine without having to resort to the put in new RAM or something like that?
    It is only a year that the system specifications are as follows:
    HP model a6755y
    9550 Quad Core 2.2 Ghz AMD processor
    6.0 GB OF RAM
    Vista 64-bit system

    I thought that my system would be more than capable to run this game online with no problems.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Yes, your system must be running that game however, there may be other reasons that he has trouble,
    including incorrect programming of their own. The tech you suport contacted had no idea regarding
    the real question.

    Have you tried running the 32-bit browser?

    See this site
    http://pietschsoft.com/post/2006/12/Vista-experience-update-Windows-Vista-x64-runs-32-bit-Internet-Explorer-by-default.aspx

    Internet Explorer 32-bit = C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Internet Explorer 64-bit = C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe

    ====================================================

    These could help: (for browsers of 32 and 64-bit)

    Maybe something is blocking.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • Why Windows 8 have a long delay before the launch of startup programs

    In Windows 8 there is a long enough period for the launch of the programs in the startup folder or in the register as startup items. Why is this? And how can I remove or reduce the delay? Please note that this is not a problem with too many programs trying to launch. There is that one program listed on startup with a new installation of Windows 8 and the system is running on an SSD. It's so clear and deliberate, time not only a slow system.

    Reading this thread, I just want to point that Microsoft quality replies here, it's horrible, beyond and Microsoft should be embarrassed to make them like that in public. I recommend delete them all and by publishing an adequate solution.

    Reminder: The OP says that he is a clean install. They moved just a program in the startup folder and they're asking why - this delay, indicating precisely is not a slow computer. The advice they get is:

    -Run the diagnostic system

    -Start in Safe Mode

    Hello? This is a clean install! Of course, none of this assistance.

    What actually happened is that there is, as the OP stated, before advisement in Windows 8 delay as all the start-up programs are executed.

    It can be flown in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Serialize\Startupdelayinmsec in the registry (including the set to 0, then the programs are executed immediately).

    It is the response that should come from Microsoft. Everything else is a rubbish - model answers that everyone make Microsoft look green, as if they a) don't know their own product and b) don't care even clients who need assistance.

    The Bing team should also be ashamed of this site as their best result. Google does not work.
