    These are all checked at the moment. I'm pretty sure most of these were checked once i got the sager laptop. I know having programs checked for startup makes it slower but how do i do if i could uncheck each one and my computer won't be affected?

    Is it true the only thing you need checked at startup is just your antivirus?

    Delayed Launch
    HDAudioCPL
    Synaptics
    Bluetooth
    Intel ProSe
    CECAPLF
    Microsoft S
    Intel (R) USB
    Hotkey



    Also before i installed the programs in my sager laptop such as skype, chrome etc... there were programs already installed in my sager laptop. I know and read sager doesn't install bloatware like dell and asus but can someone here tell me if these programs are needed or should i just uninstall it.


    Bisoncam
    Chiconycam
    Hotkey 7.0032
    Synpatics Pointing Device
    Webcam installer
    VIA Platform Manager
    Realtek PCI E Card Reader

    Then theres a lot of other programs thats intel etc I assume its best not to remove anything at all?


    Im not going to list all of them because most of them sound like they are important for the computer.

    as said in many of your other posts clevo/sager dont load bloatware.
    whats on there from new is most of the time needed in one way or another.

    and no, its not just the antivirus you need on startup.
    computers are complex bits of tech and theres tons of stuff in the background for it to even work.
    hotkeys are for your shortcut keys ie Fn + F5 / F6 volume up and down. remove the hotkeys and none of them will work.
    if you will use your webcam at all then leave Bisoncam & Chiconycam on there but deactivate them. if you use them every day then leave them at startup.

    you have made so many posts worrying about one thing or another, why not just enjoy your laptop for now and worry about it slowing down in a year or so. deleting all those things that were pre loaded might give you a microsecond of faster bootup or it might not boot at all as im not sure what all of them are for.

    As MrDJ said, Sager doesn't load anything other than their hotkey software and X-Fi sound software, both of which are useful and don't inhibit your laptop in any way (well not until you start to overclock the hell outta it).

    Looks okay to me. I wouldn't stop anything driver related. Only application related except antivirus
