Set any program to start automatically when you start Windows 10
When you turn on your computer, certain programs will start automatically when Windows starts. This is good because there are programs we use often so we want them to always be on, for example, Skype or Viber.
Some programs, in their settings, have an option that tells them to start along with Windows, however, this is not always the case and you will often come across programs that do not have this option.
Fortunately, this is not a big problem, because it is possible to set each program to run together with Windows, regardless of whether it has this option in the settings or not.
Watch our video where we show you how to set any program to start automatically when you start Windows 10.
