Imagine turning on your computer and having all the apps you need for the day already open and ready to go. That\u2019d be useful, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows 11 lets you set your favourite apps to launch automatically when you log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting it up is easy. And it\u2019ll help you and your team dive into work faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some apps, you can set up auto-launch like this:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Head to Settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Click Apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Then select Startup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    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\n\n\n

    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\n\n\n

    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\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s how you do it:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Hit \u201cWindows Key + R\u201d to open the Run tool<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Type \u2018shell:startup\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Click OK<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      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\n\n\n

      If the thought of doing this makes you feel ill, get us to do it for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One thing to remember, though. While it’s tempting to set all your favourite apps to launch automatically, opening too many at once can slow down your computer. Stick to the essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
