Start up items

crossman47 · 2018-08-28 12:55:35

My PC is slow to start so I have looked at Task Manager to see the items that run at start up. There is a long list but how do I distinguish those that are necessary from those I could safely disable? I am just an ordinary user so, if you can help, please avoid tech speak.

If you can upload a print screen of what's there we can assess what's necessary and what isn't.
