Get Alerts Whenever Apps or Programs Are Added to Windows 11 Startup<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Few things bog down your computer more than having too many programs\/apps starting with Windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of programs and apps that will add themselves to Windows startup without you being notified. Over time, unless you check your startups frequently and manage them, the list of startup apps and programs can grow. And this can hinder your computer\u2019s performance. Why? Every program or app that starts with Windows constantly runs in the background using computer resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell Windows you want to be notified whenever a program or app adds itself to Windows’ startup.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using Windows 11 and want to be notified whenever a program or app adds itself to Windows startups, here is what you need to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open Settings (Windows Key + i)<\/span><\/p>\n

Click on System in the left sidebar, then select the Notifications section on the right.<\/span><\/p>\n

The settings page for notifications will appear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scroll down to the bottom of the notifications page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just above Additional settings, you\u2019ll see \u201cStartup App Notification,\u201d\u00a0 which is switched off by default. You\u2019ll need to move the slider to On.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Be<\/span><\/p>\n

Note that Notifications need to be enabled for this to work. If you\u2019ve disabled Notifications, you must turn them on for this to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

But wait, notifications can be so annoying!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We find, in most cases, Notifications are annoying. So if you\u2019ve had Notifications turned off and you turn them on so you can be notified of new startup apps, you\u2019ll see a long list of programs and apps, and most of them will be switched on \u2013 in other words, set to send notifications. We suggest you turn most of them off if you don\u2019t want to be constantly annoyed by unimportant notifications popping up.\u00a0 But being notified whenever a program or app adds itself to Windows startups can help you keep your computer from becoming bogged down by too many Startups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not check your startups right now?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Right now would be a great time to check your startups!<\/span><\/p>\n

Open the Task Manager by using the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Task Manager opens, click on \u201cStartup apps\u201d or the startup icon on the left.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Startup<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see a list of programs\/apps on your computer. Some will be \u201cEnabled\u201d and some will be \u201cDisabled\u201d. There should be more programs\/apps \u201cDisabled\u201d than\u00a0 \u201cEnabled\u201d. Your antivirus\/security software always needs to be enabled. You do not need browsers, email programs, chat programs, word processors, or image editors, etc., starting with Windows. You can disable any program in Task Manager\u2019s Startup list by right-clicking on the program or app and choosing \u201cDisable\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n
