Streamline Your Workday with Auto-Launch Apps on Windows 11

Picture this: You power up your computer, and every app you need for the day springs to life instantly. No more waiting, no more clicking—just seamless productivity. Sound like a time-saver?

With Windows 11, you can configure your essential apps to launch automatically at login, helping you and your team hit the ground running.

Method 1: Use Built-In Startup Settings
For many apps, enabling auto-launch is straightforward:

1. Open Settings (Windows Key + I).

2. Navigate to Apps > Startup.

3. Toggle On the apps you want to open at login.

That’s it! These apps will greet you ready-to-go on your next startup.

Method 2: Manual Setup via the Startup Folder
If an app isn’t listed in Settings, use the hidden Startup folder:

1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.

2. Type shell:startup and click OK.

3. In the folder, create a shortcut to the app’s .exe file (usually in Program Files).

Voilà—the app will now launch automatically. Too techy? We’re happy to handle this for you.

A Quick Tip: While auto-launching apps boosts efficiency, overloading your startup can slow things down. Prioritize must-have tools to keep your system speedy.
