1. Open Windows Defender.
2. Select Tools.
3. Click Software Explorer.
4. Select Startup Programs from the Category dropdown.
5. Review the programs in the left pane. Selecting a program will display information about it in the right pane.
6. To remove a program from startup, select the program from the left pane and click the Remove button. Use the Disable button for programs you want to temporarily stop from starting when Windows starts. To make them active again, simply select the program and click the Enable button.
