Explanation

MSCONFIG (System Configuration utility) in Windows allows a technician to manage startup programs and services, enabling them to disable unnecessary applications that launch at login. This directly addresses the performance issue caused by too many startup entries. Performance Monitor tracks system metrics but doesn't manage startup items. Task Scheduler manages scheduled tasks, not startup programs. Windows Firewall manages network traffic rules and has no effect on startup programs.
