    Go to your control panel.
    Then in the search box at the top right, type in "admin"
    you'll see administrative tools
    click on that and then click on "system configuration"

    then click on the startup tab

    then u can uncheck all the programs you don't want your computer to run at start up

    or you can hold down the Windows logo key and press R to bring up the run dialog box, in which you can type msconfig, and it will take you right there, rather than searching for it.

    Step-by-Step:

    1. Hold down Windows key and press R.
    2. Type msconfig and hit ENTER.
    3. Uncheck whatever you want under Startup
    4. If there was something you needed, simply check it off again to reinstate it in its original startup location.
