Hello. First of all, thank you for your response. However, what I wanted to know was not about the software listed in the 'Increase startup speed' tab, but rather if it's possible to disable processes that run in the background when the computer starts. For example, is it possible to prevent processes like 'Process name - estsoft altools update service, provider - estsoft corp' from starting at startup? my build number is 'os build 19045.4780'. and i use windows 10. (To clarify my question further, I want to know if it's possible to prevent the many processes listed under 'Performance > Current Operation > Activity Monitor > Startup Applications' from starting up at boot or during computer use by double-clicking on them and adjusting the settings in the 'Application Rules' tab, which includes options like files, file and system registry, permissions, network rules, exception rules, and logs.)
