That\u2019d be useful, right?<\/p>\n<p>Windows 11 lets you set your favorite apps to launch automatically when you log in.<\/p>\n<p>Setting it up is easy. And it\u2019ll help you and your team dive into work faster.<\/p>\n<p>For some apps, you can set up auto-launch like this:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Head to Settings<\/li>\n<li>Click Apps<\/li>\n<li>Then select Startup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll see a list of apps that support auto-launch. Flip the toggle for the apps you want to open when you start your computer, and they\u2019ll be ready for you next time you log in.<\/p>\n<p>If an app doesn\u2019t appear in the Startup area of Settings, don\u2019t worry. You can set the app to auto-launch another way.<\/p>\n<p>For this, head to the special Startup folder in Windows 11. Here you can add shortcuts to any app you want to launch automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you do it:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hit \u201cWindows Key + R\u201d to open the Run tool<\/li>\n<li>Type \u2018shell:startup\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Click OK<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you\u2019ll be able to add a shortcut to your chosen app using its executable file (usually shown as an .exe file in Program Files).<\/p>\n<p><em>If the thought of doing this makes you feel nauseous, get us to do it for you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One thing to remember, though. While it&#8217;s tempting to set all your favorite apps to launch automatically, opening too many at once can slow down your computer. Stick to the essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Need help getting your tech set up for your business?
