Startup Programs & Enabling/Disabling Them?

Hi!

Ive managed my way into finding the settings tab where I can enable and disable certain programs to startup on launch. Unfortunately, I can’t find my way back. I’ve tried searching up on YouTube where this is again, but I cannot find it. Does anyone have any step by step instructions and screenshots on how to get there again?  (That settings tab where you scan enable and disable stuff to open on launch.)

Open Task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and change to the 'Startup' tab (4th tab)

 

Or maybe you're looking for: 

C:\Users\YourUserNameGoesHere\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

But not all programs are there

use Windows search, type in "msconfig".  This is the utility to show you all the boot options
