Automatically End All Unnecessary Task?

[Joshua Gilbreath]

Hello! Is there an automated way to end all unnecessary windows task in the Task Manager?(Win 10) I would like to essentially be in safe mode without booting to safe mode.

I am on my work machine which has Bitlocker enabled, so I can't boot to safe mode. I am trying diagnose a program installation issue and would like to be able to remove all temp files, and stripe Windows active process down to the bare bones to fully diagnose what is at play.

Thank you much!

Maybe what you're looking for is a clean boot.

In earlier versions of Windows you could Start -> Run -> "MSConfig" to bring up the system configuration. From there you can change your "Startup Selection" to only allow specific software to start. You can more thoroughly configure your computer to boot with only Microsoft Services (nothing besides what the OS needs). Finally, you can disable all non-essential startup software.

After MSConfig is configured, just restart and your computer will run with the bare necessities.

I hope this is what you were after.

edit: the term is "clean boot"

Aha! Brilliant, I'd forgotten about MSConfig. Thank you Agent Lozen!
