    Hello Group.
    I am trying to speed up my son's Acer One. Check out these attached pictures. What startup programs could I disable without messing the computer up?

    Thanks in advance!

    It would be easier to tell you which ones you need:

    Launch Manager (enables Wi-Fi enable/disable buttons and other special buttons and combos)
    Synaptics (touchpad scrolling and advanced functions)
    AVG (I assume your av of choice)
    Realtek (without it sound in speakers might not get disabled once you connect the headphones)
    Possibly the first one from Intel (the one for integrated GPU- although it's not strictly needed either)

    The rest is not needed.
