Enable or Disable Delay of Running Startup Apps in Windows 11 Tutorial

You can also view the startup logs in Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) in the Applications and Services Logs (takes a moment to load) > Microsoft > Windows > Diagnostics-Performance > Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational log. The logs will be in the middle to show you what ran at startup, how long it took, and more.
