McAfee is actual malware at this point anyway

CCleaner? Adobe? Origin? McAfee? What is this, some kind of child's computer?

Delete mcafee and ccleaner pls

For those that don't know, theres a tab in Windows task manager called Startup that let's you modify what apps get started when you log in.

You can also look at the services.msc tool and check all your startup services.

People install McAfee, Epic and CCleaner?

is this a windows thing that im too linux to understand

Each one bringing it's own little version of Chrome along for the ride.

Laughs in KDE

Ew, uninstall most of that

Unironically you're missing the point. The point being, it's not a problem for many apps to start because oh how powerful PCs got. The problem is when some apps use so much resources that regardless of how powerful your PC gets, it's wasteful to have them opened all the time.

Reason for that problem is them using unoptimized frameworks such as Electron and CEF (seriously, check each app on the image).

And main reasons for that are:

• Google posing browser component as a GUI framework.

• Devs not caring (or being lazy) enough to do native coding.

I wish every person would realize the above so we could force developers do their job better.

Everyone is making fun of the apps included in OP, but it’s besides the point—apps that demand resources at startup are the worst if you don’t need them. I ruthlessly deny permissions for anything installed, it’s like Gandalf in there holding the bridge and pushing presumptuous asshole apps over the bridge.

Wow... It's such an awesome feeling that I can't relate to this meme 🥰

USE LINUX

For those that have this issue,

Disclaimer:

misuse can seriously fuck up windows. Disabling things that shouldnt be, is bad. Many of the services are required by other aplications to run. Do not disable any Microsoft services you dont know what they do - otherwise disable as many as possible until the computer stops working.

If you can not read or just want to uncheck everything you see, this is not for you:

Sysinternals Autoruns is like the task manager "start up" section on 5 doeses of steroids. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

But... but... then how will they collect telemetry for targeted advertising?

Only thing missing from this atrocious set of spyware is Valorant's properiarty Vangaurd rootkit

The joy of Windows.

Y'all know about changing your startup programs right?

it's pirated adobe, right?
