Startup programs are executed when you start your windows 8. If you have lots of programs in startup list, your windows 8 startup will be little slow.

So, you should keep only important programs in startup list. I recommend to keep only antivirus in startup list.

How to Add / Remove Startup programs in windows 8

  • Take your mouse to bottom left hand corner to pop out Start Panel. Now click Search.
    Windows 8 search
  • This will open Search Apps windows and will list most commonly used apps.

    This is a shitty tuto, you don’t explain how to add a programm that is not alrwady listed and the method to get to startup programms is far too complicated when you know that it can be acessed by a simple ctrl+alt+del
