Your grandmother's Windows 10 laptop opens several programs automatically every time she turns it on, and she asks you to stop this behavior. Which built-in Windows tool should you use to disable unwanted applications from launching at startup?
services.msc
Task Manager
Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
System Configuration (msconfig.exe)
Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), select the Startup tab, highlight each application you do not want to run automatically, and click Disable. This prevents the chosen programs from loading during boot while leaving them available to launch manually. System Configuration (msconfig.exe), Services, and the Local Group Policy Editor cannot directly enable or disable individual user-level startup apps.
