Maximize Efficiency: Auto-launch Your Favorite Windows 11 Apps

What if your computer automatically opened all the apps you need for the day the moment you logged in? Sounds like a time-saver, right?

Windows 11 makes it easy to set your favorite apps to launch automatically when you start up your computer. It’s a simple way to help you and your team get straight to work.

Here’s how to set it up for apps that support auto-launch:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on Apps.
  3. Select Startup.
  4. In this section, you’ll find a list of apps that support auto-launch. Simply toggle on the apps you want to open automatically, and they’ll be ready when you log in next time.

If your app isn’t listed in the Startup section, no need to worry. You can still set it to auto-launch by using a different method.

Here’s how:

  1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run tool.
  2. Type shell:startup and hit OK.
  3. Add a shortcut to the app you want to auto-launch by pointing to its executable file (usually with an .exe extension).

Don’t want to mess with this yourself? Let us handle it for you.

Just a quick tip: While it’s tempting to set all your apps to auto-launch, opening too many apps at once can slow down your computer. We recommend keeping it to the essentials for better performance.
