Hi i have two apps that runs on windows startup.
I do not seem to be able to stop them i have run the Task Manager then the start-up tab and they are not listed in there, then i went to Settings then apps and they are not in there
I know i could just delete then but i do use them now and again but i don't need them running every time i start windows
So how do i stop them please
Hi, the most detailed view you have of your startups is provided by Autoruns (free from MS).
Assuming you know what the app or program or process is about which you are concerned, you can search the list displayed.

2 is Garmin express i only update my satnav about once every 6 months so i don't need that running all the time
