How To Fix Broken Startup Items

Under broken startup items are meant those parts of them that have remained from already deleted applications. These “residual effects” stay only like a litter on your computer and you need to get rid of them. Automatic start of programs when turning on the computer is a convenient function, especially if the users know exactly the list of applications that they use every day on a regular basis. But not all apps are handled the same often, so it makes no sense to add everything that you have on your Mac to the autostart list when you turn on the computer.

It is recommended to monitor the number of flowing utilities that are activated when the computer starts. The more such applications are in your startup register, the more computer resources they spend. On computers with a low performance, it is especially recommended to reduce the number of such applications to a minimum, ie to fix broken startup items. Now let us consider the ways how to do it.

 

 

Deleting via manual settings

Go to “System Preferences”, then to the “Users and Groups” section, open the “Login Objects” tab. In this window, you will see those applications that are starting by default when you turn on the computer. To edit this list, you will need to click on the lock icon and enter the password. After that use the “+” and “-” buttons to edit the list, add the in-demand programs and remove extra ones.

Autorun also has another interesting point. You can hide the application when you log in to the system, so they will not be displayed by a startup, and the desktop will remain clean. It helps a lot when you need to send messages because the main menus hang in the background and wait for the beginning of work.

Deleting via special cleaner applications
