If you've used a Windows PC for a while, you probably know some tricks of the trade. Sure, you've got a few shortcuts up your sleeve and know how to delete programs you never use. But do you know how to clean out the junk in your Start menu? I'll show you how to do it in a few simple steps.

Computer taking forever to start? In most cases, you can blame long computer startup times on apps you don’t need and those essential to your PC’s wake-up process. All of that is customizable.

Here’s how to see (and change) which apps load during Windows startup:

• Click on the Start menu.
• Select Settings (cog icon) and click on Apps.
• In the left menu, click on Startup. It should be the last option.
• From here, toggle apps on or off.

Pro tip: For an easier view, filter the list of apps by impact. This way, you can quickly see which ones have a high impact on your PC’s performance and adjust those accordingly.
