Startup Slow

I don't if this is already a feature I don't know about or if its something i should suggest to Microsoft to implement...
After the welcome screen when it shows the desktop, my laptop is normally unresponsive for around 30 seconds.
I know that part pf the reason for this is because I have some programs start up automatically:
eM Client
CCleaner
MalwareBytes
SuperAntiSpyware
Bluetooth Devices
NVIDIA Geforce Experience
Onedrive Syncing
Microsoft Upload Center
However is there not a program to stop these programs from hogging the system resources when starting up.

Hi there
get rid of rubbish like cc cleaner you don't need it. I think also any sort of AV programs aren't necessary in W10 apart from the built in Windows defender. Malwarebytes and antispyware can go too -- a much better system is to use sensible FIREWALLS and don't allow any application program apart from a browser to access the Internet. (You can allow EXCEL and other recognized programs such as Stock trading type stuff also to allow net access if required -- Firewall controls do this just fine).

There's a HUGE mis-conception or mis-understanding about what MALWARE actually is - some programs can be "bog standard" windows applications - really annoying ones as well !!!! that might cause loads of popups etc but they aren't Viruses so your AV software is unlikely to catch them -- Windows defender though is updated regularly -- almost daily - so any of these "legit" programs could be added to Windows defender earlier than any of the other solutions.

I've written loads of times on the AV / security section on the Forum -- the best protection is YOU not SOFTWARE - and most of the scams these daus aren't stoppable by software - use and surf WISELY and be aware of what the same are these days.

Thanks Jim for the stuff on CC Cleaner and other applications of this nature. . .have always hated these programs especially when I have to fix them after some one with out computer experience attempt to use them.
