How to make an application run when Windows 10 starts

<>

Si tenemos demasiadas aplicaciones que se ejecutan cuando iniciamos Windows 10, podemos hacer que este inicio be más lento. Por esto, se suele recomendar borrar algunos de ellos desde este inicio. Pero, puede suceder que quieras que haya one that always starts automatically. This is something that we can configure at all times. At the same time, the reality is that it is not difficult to obtain.

We show you below how we can make a application to run when Windows 10 starts. Thus, if there is an application that we want to run automatically when we start the computer, it can be done. There are different methods for this, but we will tell you a simple but effective one.

To do this, we will create a shortcut in a hidden folder in Windows 10. Therefore, the first thing we have to do is have a view of the hidden folders of the system. Then, within the file explorer, you need to click on the View tab. Then you have to click on the Show / Hide option. Then several options will appear and we have to make sure that the Hidden items option is checked.

Once this is done, we are ready to start this procedure on the computer. Then we are going to create a shortcut so that this application runs automatically when we start Windows 10. The steps to follow are not complex at all, so all users can do them without problem.

Steps to follow

The first thing we are going to have to do is go to programs folder at Windows 10 startup. Within the file explorer we have to follow a certain path. We must first join this team. Then go to the local disk and there you should access the following folders: ProgramData> Microsoft> Windows> Start Menu> Programs> Start.

If you prefer, you can copy the address directly in the address bar from the file explorer as it is much faster. The specific path that we have to access in this circumstance would be: C: ProgramData Microsoft Windows Start Menu Programs Start. Therefore, once inside this folder, we can continue with the procedure that we are carrying out.

Before continuing, you must create the shortcuts on the desktop for these applications that you want to run automatically when you start Windows 10. We do this because the operating system does not allow us to create shortcuts in this Startup folder. Therefore, we have to move them once we have created them. To be able to create a shortcut, right-click on the executable for that application. Several options will appear, one of which is to create the shortcut.

Then when you have created these shortcuts, you have to drag them to the Start folder. Basically long press the icon and drag it to the folder. When you drop the icon on that folder, it has already been moved. Do it with the accesses of all those apps that you want to start automatically in Windows 10. Once we have completed these steps, we can move on to the last details of this procedure.

Como la carpeta de Inicio es de gran relevance en Windows 10, para mover estos accesos directos, they will ask you for administrator permissions. If you are already logged into the computer administrator, when you get a message on the screen, you basically have to give it to continue. In case you are not the administrator, you will have to ask the person who has these permissions to complete the procedure. It is essential to be able to carry it out.

With this we will have concluded the procedure on the computer. We have already moved these icons to the home folder. So the next time I log into Windows 10, these applications will run automatically. If you ever want to change it, you can delete the icon for that folder or use the task manager.
