Windows - Disabling Startup Applications

How to disable startup applications in Windows.
  1. Open Task Manager.
  2. Navigate to the Startup apps tab.
  3. Right-click on the item you wish to prevent from starting when the computer boots.
  4. Select Disable.

If the Disable option is grayed-out, you must run Task Manager as an administrator. You may need to use Make Me Admin (Windows) to become an administrator first.
