Hello, I am trying to use 'autoruns' to identify & turn off programs/apps
which run in the background, and I am finding quite a few !

My question, Ought I be able to turn off these programs/apps from their
options or preferences menus, or must I turn them off by unchecking their
entries in autoruns ?

Thanks as always

Not every program will allow you to opt out of starting with Windows
so sometimes you have to use programs like Autoruns, or edit the registry.
