Windows Registry You can remove offending startup services by editing the Windows Registry > Windows key+R (or search) > type: regedit > navigate to one of the following keys, and remove unnecessary services: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services Here is a list of services started by Adobe Photoshop/Acrobat at Windows start, for example (most of them can be safely disabled without functionality loss): AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 (Adobe Updater Startup Utility) AdobeCS6ServiceManager (Adobe CS6 Service Manager) AdobeCS5ServiceManager (Adobe CS5 Service Manager) AdobeFlashPlayerUpdateSvc (Adobe Flash Player updates) SwitchBoard (Adobe Switchboard) adfs (Adobe Drive File System Driver) Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date) Disable unnecessary Windows services In addition to services started by software vendors, there are also some native Windows services that can be disabled to further reduce overall system load. (alternatively in Windows 8/10, right click on "Task View" by the Cortana search icon > choose "Task Manager") Navigate to the "Startup" tab > right-click on processes you don't want starting with Windows and choose "disable". To prevent unnecessary services from starting with Windows, follow the simple steps outlined below: Disable Startup services Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and choose "Task Manager".
Before we get into disabling unnecessary services, note that you should also uninstall software you don't need ("Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program"), and check your software settings to prevent them from starting components/services with Windows. Many software vendors include processes that start with Windows, taking up resources and slowing down the Windows startup time and your system in general.
