    Startup programs on MSI Wind

    I have an Advent 4211(rebadged msi wind) and want to speed up booting into windows.
    When I run MSCONFIG and look at what runs when the windows starts, on both the startup and services page, there is a huge amount of things starting. Only problem is, I don't know what I can disable while still running what I want to. I use wireless to access my home network and I want to be able to use the bluetooth as well. Only other thing I want to run is my antivirus(AVG) on startup.

    Which items can I safely disable?

    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Re: Startup programs on MSI Wind

    Why do want to disable startup items? I mean, only if any startup item is from a 3rd party software you installed, it is possibly safe to disable it, otherwise, windows services etc, you dont really want to disable them....sorry if I understood you wrong.

    As for disabling software specific startup items, its safe to disable them..in most cases!
