MODERATORS
For those that don't know, theres a tab in Windows task manager called Startup that let's you modify what apps get started when you log in.
You can also look at the services.msc tool and check all your startup services.
Sysinternals Autoruns is like the task manager "start up" super charged.

Disclainer, misuse can seriously fuck windows. Use with caution. Do not uncheck microsoft crap, no matter how tempting, or anything you're unsure about.
+1 for autoruns
The temptation is real though
Thanks(!!!) for the reminder. I knew about it but just never think to go in there. I just now disabled a ton of things I don't need running.
Msconfig is also handy for disabling services as you can hide default MS services
