How to Run Microsoft Store and Other Apps at Startup in Windows 10

Windows 10 offers the option to run programs when Windows starts. You can also add any Microsoft app (calculator, PowerShell, Snipping Tool) and even third-party apps (Steam, Oculus, NVIDIA Control Panel) or system tools (Task Manager, System Configurations, Services) to your startup. Here's how.

Let's first get a list of all apps that can run at startup.

Open File Explorer.

Type shell:appsfolder in the Address bar and press Enter.



Open a second File Explorer window by pressing the Windows Key + E.

Type shell:startup in the second File Explorer window and press Enter.



Drag-and-drop any application from the first File Explorer window (Applications) to the second File Explorer window (C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup).

Any selected apps will now run on startup on the next reboot.
