How to run a program on start-up in Windows 10

First, go to the start menu, type run, and hit enter. In the box that pops up, type shell:startup This will bring you to the Windows start-up folder. Any application added to the folder will start automatically on boot. To add a program here, go to the start menu and find the program you want to add. Right click on the program, go to more, and select open file location. Here, right click on the shortcut to the application you want, and select copy.

Then go back to the start-up folder and right click and choose paste. This program will now start on start-up. If you want to remove the program from starting on boot, just delete the program from the folder.

You can also stop a program from starting on start-up by right clicking on your task bar, choosing task manager, then going to more details in the bottom left, then choosing the start-up tab at the top. If there are any programs in that list you want to stop from running on start-up, just click on them and hit disable in the bottom right. Click on any disabled items and hit enable to re-enable them.
