Run startup applications immediately without needing to log in first
Run startup applications immediately without needing to log in first
I recently added a password to protect my laptop, thinking it would keep it safe. It looks like the startup apps won’t load without logging in, but you’re wondering if Windows can run everything automatically before you enter the password.
Your startup applications are likely located in your chosen user directory. You should relocate them to the general startup folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp. This path is standard for common startup files.
