Modern operating systems are fully optimized for the needs of their users, which means the presence of a large number of auxiliary programs. Autostart also belongs to such applications, which allows you not to worry about including the necessary programs, but will do it yourself. It is a function that is implemented in several operating systems, which implies the automatic execution of certain actions when new devices are detected. Such a function is rather unsafe, since if the computer has autorun installed for all downloaded programs, the system can independently activate malicious applications.
In order to figure out how to enable autorun, you must first understand why it is, in fact, needed. When you turn on the computer and start the Windows operating system, in addition to itself, many other auxiliary programs are launched, on which the user does not think much, but they are necessary for successful work.
Such applications include antiviruses, firewalls, some codecs, etc. However, in some cases other programs fall into the lists, the launch of which is undesirable. The next time they turn on, they fall into the ranks of running programs, occupy RAM, but there is no sense in them. For the time being, the user does not pay attention to this, does not think about how to enable autorun of only the necessary programs, but sooner or later the moment comes when the computer resources for all applications begin to be insufficient, and this problem needs to be urgently solved.
What to do?
When thinking about how to configure autostart of programs, you need to understand that the list of specific actions depends on the version of the operating system you are using. To adjust autorun in Windows 7, you need to find the executable line “Run” and enter the word “msconfig” (without quotation marks), then go to the startup tab. To exit to the executable line, you can use two options - either go through "Start - All Programs - Run" or use the Win + R combination. A list of programs will appear on the screen and it will immediately become clear how to enable autorun, because it will be enough to check the necessary programs and remove them where they are not needed. The main thing is not to forget that you need to save all the changes.
In some cases, such settings are few, you need to understand how to configure autorun at a more subtle level. But only very experienced users should do this on their own, because inadvertently made changes can significantly worsen the quality of the operating system as a whole. You should not enter them in the register if the user is not confident in their abilities - this can lead to unexpected consequences, it is better to seek the advice of a qualified specialist in the field of information technology. Such a wizard will tell you exactly how to enable autorun and not cause irreparable harm to the OS.
Additional programs
The cCleaner utility, which helps to clean up computer disks from unnecessary and outdated files, and also controls autorun, will help you figure out the operating system and how to enable autorun. To do this, run it, go to the tab "Service" - "Autostart". All programs that can be turned on with a computer will be presented here, among them you need to select the appropriate and necessary. After clicking the “Enable” button, all settings will be saved, and if you need to disable it, then after checking the corresponding program, click the “Delete” button. The application itself will not delete it, but it will no longer be present in the startup. In addition, AIO Security Manager or Startup Manager utilities can perform similar functions.
