How to disable on startup apps.

Go to solution Solved by Flashie,

You can either go through Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+ESC) and go to the 'Startup' tab. You can view everything enabled to startup and everything disabled.
Another directory you can check for other applications not shown in task manager is at:
\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Well recently I noticed that everytime I restart my pc. i get bombarded with apps initiating or loading. Like skype, discord, msi live update, and various other. I like to keep my desktop nice simple and clean. This is a really big issue to me. Anyone know how to disable all of these startup apps or atleast manually?

On windows 10, I plunked around with task manager and found it. Go to the startup tab and click on whatever you want to disable, then click "disable". Woah.
