Startup programs help
Hi, I have just had to purchase a new PC and went with an off the shelf Lenovo 330 for speed of purchase and I need a little help.
I am not a very experienced user and I am looking for help to decide which programs I can disable/delay at startup. I have looked at the msconfig startup tab but this shows the programs enabled/disabled at startup but does not advise whether its needed, recommended or not needed at at all.
I have seen a few software programs about such as Autoruns, CCleaner but again this does not give an inexperienced user guidance of those which can be disarmed at startup. I think there as only one called Soluto which offered recommendations other than optimizing suites type programs (Tuneup etc)
I have searched the forum for information on the startup topic and quite a few recommend using the features in Windows 7 rather than 3rd party programs but I am a little hesitant attempting this myself without the aid of some sort of program adviser to encourage my decision.
Also, I am thinking of a program updater to assist with program updates. I have Windows update and Filehippo Update checker running on my PC but I understand Update Checker only scans its own database.
I would welcome any comments regarding the above as I do not really want to get too heavily involved in scheduling programs and updating programs but at the same time I dont want to damage anything.
NB I will find the time to update my PC specs on the forum as soon as I can.
Many Thanks
Andy
