 Disable all third-party startup software

MSConfig (otherwise known as System Configuration) is a more hidden Windows utility with which you can change boot settings. You can’t disable specific startup programs with MSConfig. However, that utility includes a Load startup items option you can deselect to disable all third-party startup software.

You can disable startup programs with MSConfig as follows:

1. Bring up the Run window by right-clicking the Start button and selecting its shortcut on the Power User menu, or with Win + R.
2. Enter msconfig in Run’s text box.
3. Click the OK button to bring up MSConfig.
4. Uncheck the Load startup items checkbox on the General tab to deselect that setting. 
5. Press Apply to save the new boot settings.
6. Select MSConfig’s OK option.
7. Click Restart on the dialog box prompt.
