Where is the Startup folder in Windows 8?

Of course, you need to get rid of such programs and services. This can be done by fine-tuning startup, which we will talk about. So, the folder can be accessed through a standard search in the right panel of Windows 8. We enter startup (or Startup) and the first result is access to this folder.

But we are interested in exactly where this folder is located?

You can access it through the Run menu (hotkey combination Windows+R). There we need to enter the following command: % AppData%. Press Enter.

Explorer will open with the AppData folder. Move on - Roaming, Microsoft folder, Windows folder, Start Menu folder, Programs folder. Are you on time? Great! We are already in the folder we need. This is where the treasured Startup folder is stored. We go into it and see all the startup elements.

You can edit them via Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+ESC), section "Startup". Elements are enabled or disabled by clicking the corresponding items in the context menu. So, we got access to the startup list, were able to view it and configure it. Great job!
