Here, you can see all the programs on your computer that run as soon as you log in – with the headers for the app name, Publisher, Status, and the Startup impact of each item. If you right-click on one of these headers, you can show additional information – the Running now on the context menu is particularly useful, as it lets you know whether an app is actually in use. Apart from the basic startup items or the ones you added yourself, identify any unusual app.
