Microsoft Windows 11 operating system has a Startup feature similar to the previous version of the Windows OS. As the name itself indicates, the feature enables the selected applications to load up automatically when the computer starts.
While the required applications for the system are already added to the list, the Windows operating system allows users to configure the settings to allow other apps to be added to the list to load when the system starts.
There are several different ways to enable the auto-loading of applications in the Windows 11 operating system. In this guide, we will show you a step-by-step process of how you can configure apps to start automatically in the Windows 11 system using the Startup Settings option.
