How to check all programs that runs in your computer

Sometimes after you installing a software your pc may experience longer time to start. This probably happen because you have too much program load up while your windows start up. I do have few program that automatically start when windows start. Are the all necessary? Mostly don’t. How do I check those startup program that running in background of my system. I am using AutoRuns from www.sysinternals.com/

What is Autoruns?

Autoruns shows you what programs are configured to run during system start up or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them.

You can choose to disable and enable back which program is necessary to run together with system to save your RAM (memory). For me services like apple software updater, adobe updater and other update service is unnecessary. Another similar program is process explorer.
