When it comes to the startup folder, there are actually two. This is where the startup folder comes in handy, where you can essentially put apps into it or remove it to manage which apps are launched whenever your computer boots up. Or maybe the apps you want to be launched at startup don’t because the app doesn’t have a setting to launch on startup. However, sometimes these startup apps can slow down a computer’s boot time, especially if you are on an older computer with aging hardware.

Some of these apps are meant to be run in the background and might be necessary, like Google Drive so that it can offer users access to the latest and most up-to-date synched files.

Depending on your preferences, we could be talking about apps like messenger apps, webcam apps, audio control apps, and so on. When you start your computer for the first time of the day, or whenever you reboot it, apps will launch alongside Windows.
