Use your own assessment to best know what to include and exclude. A low impact program could easily slow your system down and a program listed as “High impact” could be easily ignored in the background. I should also note that the projected impact on system performance – above it says “No impact” – is a rough estimate based on the resources required by the program. To have it automatically launch as part of the Windows 11 startup process, a simple click will suffice to turn it “On”: I have no explanation for this anomalous behavior.įortunately for my situation, however, Spotify is listed. Spotify replaced it even though I didn’t uninstall Chrome. Even stranger: Before I installed Spotify, Google Chrome was listed. No scroll, no additional list below, and rebooting won’t update it either. What can be confusing is that there are a lot more than just these four apps on my PC, but somehow that’s all it’s offering here. Click or tap on it and a window opens up like this: There are various ways to navigate to the correct spot in Settings, but I’m a huge fan of the Win11 search, so instead, just search for “ startup“:Īs you can see in my groovy purple theme, the best match is the System setting “Startup Apps”. I do want to note that in terms of an app starting up in the right place with the correct size window, well, that’s up to the app or program, as far as I know, so if you find that regardless of what you do the app opens up full screen or similar, you might want to drop a note to the company asking for that bug to be fixed! I’ll step you through the process in both cases. Fortunately, the Windows 10 “Startup” folder is still accessible and with just a little bit of fiddling, you can use that (in addition to Startup Apps) to get everything to work. Unfortunately, the new Startup Apps window in Windows 11 isn’t quite perfect and most people find that it doesn’t actually list all of the potential programs you might want to have auto-launch. I guess the developers at Microsoft decided it would be okay if people actually had a few favorite apps like Spotify, Calendar, or a Web browser launch automatically.
Windows 10 improved on it somewhat, though you still needed to access the “Run” command line to do it, but in Windows 11, it’s much, much easier. It used to be that specifying programs to launch on bootup required some pretty polished programming skills in the early days of Windows.
