If you're frustrated with the time it takes your Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP PC to boot and then it seems to be running slowly you may have too many programs running at start-up - and you have come to the right place to identify them. This is the original start-up programs (as opposed to processes/tasks) list - one of the most accurate and comprehensive. Services are not included - see below. For further information on this and how to identify and disable start-up programs please visit the Introduction page.
See here for further information on random entries - which are typically added by viruses and other malware or unwanted programs.

You can search for any of the following terms to find and display entries in the start-up programs database but the minimum search is 3 characters and you must click on the "Search" button. Results are sorted by the Startup Item/Name field.
Alternatively, you can browse the full database (without the search facility) over a number of pages or you can use the alphabetical index below to list the entries for that letter by the Command/Data field, but the results may take longer to appear due to the number of them:
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
NOTE: Searching for common words (i.e. "the" or "where") will mean the results take longer to appear due to the number of them.
