How to Prevent Apps From Loading When You Log in on Windows 11

Sometimes, your newly-installed Windows OS only functions responsively at first. In the following instances, you will notice that your system has some issues, including slower loading times and unresponsive booting.

Although Windows 11 appears to be the smoothest operating system for PC to date, there are some problems that you can experience during startup. Some apps might not load instantly, so you need to fix this as soon as possible.

If you have been experiencing these kinds of problems, here's what you need to do.

How to Check For Startup Apps on Windows 11

Task Manager Fix

According to a report by The Next Web, the easiest trick that you can do to fix this issue is by exploring your computer's Task Manager. To start, open it through the hotkey combination of Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Once you're done, go to the "Startup" tab.

At this point, you can now see all the running apps in the background. You can also see their startup impact besides the status.

There's a good chance that the apps that you once installed but did not use anymore are the culprits behind a slow loading. For instance, the music app you downloaded a month ago contributes to this issue.

All you need to do is disable them by right-clicking an app from the list.

Settings Menu Fix

There's another alternative method that you can test on your PC. In case the Task Manager technique doesn't work for you, you might want to try opening the Settings Menu.

You can begin by accessing the Start menu. Then, type "Startup apps." In the following moment, you will be directed to the Startup section of the Settings menu, where you can see a lot of information presented in the Task Manager.

Don't forget to disable each app by toggle-pressing the right side of the screen.

System Configuration Menu Fix

If the two above-mentioned tips do not work for you, there's a possibility that your PC is plagued with a lot of background service on the screen. Your mission here is to get rid of them to make your Windows 11 loading smoother and faster.

Sometimes, you will not notice that there are unknown services that are currently operating.

Just a friendly reminder before you do this final trick. You should not quickly tweak your startup services unless you know a lot about disabling them.

If the technique goes wrong, some bugs might appear, which could be another problem you need to solve.

To start with this process, press Windows + R and write "msconfig." You can also do the same thing by typing it on the Start Menu.

Once you're finished, a System Configuration will appear on the window. Go to the "Services" tab to see a long list of services there.

You can observe that the majority of them are Microsoft-based. Click the "Hide all Microsoft services" checkbox to hasten the process.

This would now pave the way for a faster unchecking of services you want to disable. In this case, research if the service you want to nullify is safe to disable.

In other news, XDA Developers reported that One Xplayer handheld gaming PCs could ditch Windows 11 for Steam OS.
