How to get programs to stop loading automatically

May 21, 2023

Issue: When you start the computer, or when you run an app such as SuperAnti Spyware, the message comes up to close the internet applications, such as Edge or Chrome, etc.

You should not need Edge, or other internet browsers, to run during startup. If you want to use an app, simply double click to run. Automatically starting applications can use valuable system resources and possibly open your system to unwanted access. The exception to this would be a backup program such as Cobian, that need to run in the background.

The solution is easy. Click on Start and click the Settings icon, (looks like a gear). Select Accounts and then select Sign In Options. Click to turn OFF the option: “Automatically save my restartable apps when I sign out and restart.”
