Start up issues with applications

[Lilninjsways]

So i have a question i use steam and discord alot! And i have origin for when i played battlefield one (which ive uninstalled) and a few other applications (a friend recommended play.tv once) and i am broke and cant afford a mic rn so i use my phone which its software startsup and due to me only using a hdd it will take like 2 minutes before i can do anything smoothly (i also have wallpaper engine but i feel that doesnt affect it alot) any tips?

Set Origin to not start at startup, 

do the same with other items that are starting up that you don't always use. 

 

I created a batch file that delays items from starting right at startup. It looks like this ...

@ECHO OFF
ECHO. Starting Delayed Programs
ECHO. DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW

::------------------------------------------------------
TIMEOUT /T 60 >NUL
:: Initial Delay
::------------------------------------------------------
TIMEOUT /T 10 >NUL
START "" "C:\Users\uBinKIAd\AppData\Local\Morbix\Clipb watcher\clipb.exe"  && ECHO CLIPB STARTED

::------------------------------------------------------
TIMEOUT /T 10 >NUL
START "" "C:\Users\uBinKIAd\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox\bin\Dropbox.exe" /systemstartup  && ECHO DROPBOX STARTED

::------------------------------------------------------
TIMEOUT /T 10 >NUL
START "" "C:\Users\uBinKIAd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" /background  && ECHO MS ONEDRIVE STARTED

::------------------------------------------------------
TIMEOUT /T 10 >NUL
START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Drive\googledrivesync.exe" /autostart  && ECHO GOOGLE DRIVE STARTED
START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\RocketDock\RocketDock.exe"  && ECHO ROCKETDOCK STARTED

::------------------------------------------------------
TIMEOUT /T 20 >NUL
START "" "G:\Steam\steam.exe" -silent  && ECHO STEAM STARTED
START "" "G:\GalaxyClient\GalaxyClient.exe" /launchViaAutoStart && ECHO GOG GALAXY CLIENT STARTED

ECHO DONE!
TIMEOUT /T 4 >NUL

It's intent is to allow everything to load but make the computer more usable during initial startup. I use if for stuff that I do want started and running every time I use my pc but don't necessarily need them started all at once when my pc starts up. This way I can launch Chrome and start browsing as soon as I see my desktop where as before I'd have to wait a minute or so before I could do anything. (there's a dozen or so apps I removed from my sample code and there's not always a timeout between each launch.

 

It's something to consider trying. I have an ssd now and still use it because it makes it that much faster to boot.
