Why each option
To disable unwanted applications from starting on a Windows 10 PC, the technician should use Task Manager. This tool provides a dedicated tab for managing startup programs.
System Configuration (msconfig) also has a Startup tab, but in Windows 10, it explicitly redirects users to Task Manager for managing startup items.
Task Manager in Windows 10 includes a "Startup" tab where users can view and disable applications configured to run automatically when the system boots. This tab allows for granular control over which programs launch with the operating system, helping to resolve issues with unwanted startup items.
Performance Monitor is used for collecting and viewing real-time system performance data, not for managing startup applications.
Group Policy Editor is primarily for configuring system-wide settings for multiple users or computers in an organizational context, not typically for individual startup app management.
