So, the changes in the Eight were not spared and autoload, making the management of this function more convenient.
If you remember how we used to go to, then it was like this: we opened Start and run the utility Execute.
We entered the msconfig command and clicked OK.
We opened some settings where there was a tab. Opening it, we could see all the programs that run along with the system.
This method works in all old Windows versions, and in the Eight it was greatly improved and transferred. It is launched in a different way and looks more modern and visual.
Startup programs in Windows 8
Open Task Manager. To do this, right-click on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and select the item we need.
Or use Ctr + Alt + Delete and in the window that opens, select Task Manager.
Now click on More.
And after that, go to the tab. As I said, here you can more clearly see the programs that run with Windows 8. Here is the full name and even the icon of the program itself.
In addition, there is a State item, where it is indicated whether it is launched on this moment the program with the computer or not. There is also Impact on launch, that is, it indicates how many resources the program takes for its work at system startup.

In the same way it can be Enabled. By the way, if you try go to startup in the old way (typical for Windows 7), you will see a hint there that programs are controlled through the task manager. There will also be provided a link for quick navigation ( Open task manager).
So! We figured out how to remove programs from startup in Windows 8. Finally, I will remind you that this procedure is extremely necessary for weak computers, and for those cases when the computer starts up very slowly. Therefore, remove all unnecessary from there!
Many programs add themselves to startup during installation. However, they start running every time you log on to the system. This may not be very useful, because immediately after launch they may not be needed, but they give the OS a load, and this can seriously slow down both the launch of the system itself and many necessary utilities... The opposite situation also happens, the user wants some utility to be immediately launched at the entrance to the system in order to immediately start using it, in which case it can be added to startup. This article will show you how to do this.
How to add applications to startup and where is it located
This section will describe in detail how to add programs to startup, you can do this in several ways.
Start Menu
In order to find the required directory, you should go to start, open the computer, and then follow the path C: \ Users \ UserName \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ Startup.
This folder is responsible for only one specific user, under whose record they are now working. You can drag the shortcuts of any utilities here, then they will start running at system startup, however, do not add a lot at once, this can lead to brakes and long loading. To add an application to autorun for all users at once, you must have administrator rights.
Labels, in this case, should be placed in the directory C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ StartUp.
In this case, the user will first need to open Task Manager(Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and then go to the tab. 
The programs themselves cannot be added here. However, those that are already on the list can be disabled and enabled. Disabled will not load on computer startup. To enable or disable them, just right-click on the application you want and select the appropriate item.

In the next section, the first item should be noted " Run the program", And in the next you will need to click on the overview and specify the path to the application.

What applications can be removed from startup
In autorun, you should leave only system programs , as well as those that may be immediately required for work. It is better to start all the rest on your own, at the time in which they are needed. This will reduce the load on the OS and it will start working faster.
It would seem that autorun is quite a convenient thing - you do not need to manually launch the application - they will automatically start when you turn on the computer, but there is also “ underwater rocks”That adversely affect the performance of your computer.

Finding there extra programs, you will probably want to know how to disable startup programs in Windows 8.
How to disable startup programs in Windows 8 on your computer
In addition to taking a long time to boot up the computer, there is one more negative point - malicious software, which loves to register in startup. You can find out what programs you have in startup through the "Task Manager". By default, Windows startup is enabled. Let's figure out how to disable and remove unnecessary programs from startup.
Disable autoplay in Windows 8
Go to "Control Panel", set "View: Large Icons" and find the item "Autostart". Go inside. Uncheck "Use autorun for all media and devices" to completely disable autorun.

In the registry editor window, go to the path:

Remove unnecessary programs by right-clicking on them and selecting "Uninstall".
How to disable autostart programs in Windows 8 - video tutorial
What to do if Windows startup 8 a significant amount is loaded unnecessary programs that have to be turned off after turning on the computer? Read this article to the end and be able to independently manage the startup list in Windows 8.
Configuring autorun is a problem for many newbies who install a lot of unnecessary programs (agents, browsers, tool bars). Most, if not all, of them are unnecessary for the user. And if you have a significant list of applications and a small volume random access memory the problem is gaining relevance, which is indirectly indicated by the thousandfold repeated requests of the largest search engines... Today we will deal with all the subtleties. Windows autorun 8.
Users who are partly familiar with Windows 7 cannot find the "Startup" directory in the Start of the new operating system. It is not there due to its impracticality: the folder contained only a few shortcuts of automatically launched programs. It exists but does not appear on the Start menu.
- To go to this directory, execute the command: "shell: startup".
- A window will open with shortcuts loaded from Windows 8 applications. By removing or adding items, you can easily manage the startup list. But far from all of its elements are displayed here, so let's go further.
If you think that startup in Windows 8, like previous versions operating system from Microsoft, called by the "msconfig" command entered in the "Run" window (run by Win + R) or search string, then you are greatly mistaken. Now autorun is in one of the tabs "Task Manager". There shouldn't be any problems with calling it.
- The msconfig command will open the System Configuration window. Going to the "Startup" tab, you can start the "Task Manager" by clicking on the link of the same name.
- In the manager, go to the "Startup" tab.
Having selected the name of the program, it is easy to remove it from the list of automatically launched after clicking on the "Disable" button or through context menu shortcut.
Windows 8 Registry
Another place where all links to startup programs are located is the operating system database - its registry. For users unfamiliar with him, we will prompt that the regedit command entered in the search or in the text line of the Run window will open access to system registry... Here, in several sections, there are folders with links to programs that start automatically. Move on to the sections below. They contain keys with the paths of applications automatically loaded from Windows.
If necessary, select the key, call the context menu and delete it. We'll talk about the products that are worth leaving and the wasted resources below.
Third party software
There are many programs that provide the user with information about the autorun list in a visual form. Moreover, many of them display shortcuts of all applications in one window, which eliminates the need to search for registry keys. One of these programs is the well-known Windows cleaner - CCleaner.
- After starting the application, go to the "Service" section. Click on the name of the "Startup" tab.
Not only deletion is performed here unnecessary applications from startup, but also setting - their temporary disabling. By clicking on the tabs at the top of the interface, you will see which applications are launched by the Internet browser IE (if you do not use it, you should disable them automatic start with Windows 8 or completely remove it from the startup list). It also displays tasks assigned using the "Task Scheduler" (including launching programs), which users do not always suspect.
What applications should be left in the list of automatically launched
The question of which applications should be removed from autorun, and which should be left, arises for many. Here the answer to is subjective - that is, everyone decides for himself what he needs immediately after turning on the computer, and what should be removed from startup.
Programs for configuring and updating video card drivers should undoubtedly be left in the list of autorunable applications, but not necessarily. The same goes for the utilities responsible for the touchpad, Bluetooth, printers, scanners, MFPs, webcams and other devices.
Applications that use the Internet: instant messengers and programs for working with mail, if needed, should be left at startup; It is recommended to launch clients for torrent networks only if necessary, like browsers. Deal with all other programs yourself. If they are constantly needed and the resource base of the PC allows them to run all during Windows boot 8 - leave, otherwise - uninstall, you can always run the necessary software yourself.

Hello friends! As usual, at the beginning of this article, I publish two small letters from our readers.
Startup in Windows 8.1
As you can see, two letters of different content came to our mail, but they relate to the same thing - a new startup.The first reader needs to remove unnecessary programs (or several programs) from startup, and the second, on the contrary, needs to put the desired program in startup, so that this program runs together with operating system.
Let's consider both questions in detail. How to remove the program you need from startup Windows 8.1
There are five ways to do this.
Method number 1.
I often hear from friends and acquaintances such complaints - "You know, something started on my computer, periodically there are some windows offering to update or buy something! You could not help put things in order in my system."
Friends, we can avoid the problem and it is much easier than struggling with the consequences of this very problem later. When you install any program on your computer, then during the installation process do not mindlessly click the Next button, carefully look at what you are installing.
In our difficult time, almost all program installers have additional third-party software wired up so as not to install an unnecessary program during the installation process. the right moment check marks. Also, during installation, any program will ask you if it can go to autorun with your gracious permission. You just need to uncheck the desired item and click on, the program will not start at startup.
If the program still went to startup. We open the task manager.
More details.
Go to the "Startup" tab. In this tab everything is presented here are all programs that are loaded with the operating system. We see two applications that I do not need in startup, these are uTorrent and Skype, think about Skype, if you constantly communicate with friends in this program, then you better leave it in startup. Right-click on the uTorrent and Skype programs and select Disable, in this simple way we will remove the programs from startup.
C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ StartUp, this folder is called "Startup" in it there are shortcuts to programs that start with Windows 8, this folder must be empty. Finding this folder in the wilds of your Windows is very easy. Right-click on the Start button and select "Run"
Enter the shell command: Common Startup
And our startup folder opens. If there are program shortcuts here, remove them
This time I suggest you edit windows registry 8. It's very simple, but create a restore point just in case before proceeding.
Registry keys are responsible for startup in Windows 8
For the current user:
For all users:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
Please note that I have not yet disabled the uTorrent and Skype programs in the Task Manager from startup, so the registry registry responsible for startup of all users HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run contains entries for these programs, these entries need to be deleted. Right-click on desired entry registry and select "Delete". Yes.

But none of these excellent applications will help us in another matter, namely, putting the desired program on startup.
How to add a program to Windows 8 startupWe will do this in several ways.
Method number 1
The easiest option is to use the already familiar system startup folder C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ StartUp, if you want a program to run along with the operating system, just place the program shortcut in this folder and when the next time you turn on the computer, it will start with Windows 8. Right-click on the Start button and select "Run",
Enter shell: Common Startup, our startup folder will open.
Copy here the shortcuts of the programs you need and all the cases, the next time you start Windows 8, all these programs will start automatically.
We create a string parameter in the registry. I have a program Adobe photoshop, in the program itself there are no settings in order to get into the boot itself, let's make it so that it starts together with Windows. We start the registry. Right-click on the Start button and select "Run", then regedit and OK, the registry will open.
As you already know the registry keys responsible for startup programs:
For the current user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
For all users:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
If you are the only one working at the computer, choose the first branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run
Go to the section and click on an empty space with the right mouse and select New-> String parameter from the menu,
We specify any name, for example, Adobe Photoshop,
Then we indicate the path to the program being launched, click on the newly created parameter with the right mouse and select "Change",
We indicate the location of the executable file of our program: C: \ Program Files \ Adobe \ Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit) \ Photoshop.exe and click OK.
Everything Adobe program Photoshop is in Windows startup 8, be sure that the next time you turn on the computer, the program will start itself, immediately after starting system files Windows.
We use the "favorite" of all users Task Scheduler. This method a little more complicated than the previous two, but you must know how it works if you want to become a real hacker, of course. Add to startup using the task scheduler, virtual machine VirtualBox.
Let's consume Aladdin's magic lamp and call the task scheduler. Right-click on the Start button
And select Run, enter mmc.exe taskschd.msc in the input field, the task scheduler will open.
Action-> Create Task.
Give the task an arbitrary name, for example VirtualBox,
Go to the "Triggers" tab and click "Create"
In the "Start task" item, specify "At login" and click OK.
Go to the "Actions" tab and click on the "Create" button
In the window that appears, click Browse,
Here you need to specify in the explorer the address of the executable file of our program C: \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox \ VirtualBox.exe and click Open.
Click OK.
