Turn off programs that start with the system on Windows 10

One of the solutions to speed up Windows 10 at the boot stage is to turn off the programs that start with the system.By default, some programs like Skype, Evernote and TeamViewer will automatically start up with the system.

On Windows 7 and earlier versions, to remove or disable startup programs on the system, you can use the System Configuration utility. On Windows 8 / 8.1 and Windows 10, in addition to the above, to remove or disable these programs you must use Task Manager. Here are a few ways to turn off Windows 10 startup programs, speed up your Windows 10 boot.

For example, in the picture I unchecked some Adobe services, Advanced SystemCare, Mozilla (because I use Chrome as the main, Firefox only tests the feature, if you use Firefox itself, do not deselect this). Click Apply when you're done selecting.
