Dear yoga,
It’s been a long time since I’ve used these programs, so I may be outdated.
But at the time, you could use
Startup Manager like (
MS Config) to analyze and disable annoying programs. With the German/Herman/Sherman
Ashampoo WinOptimizer, you have the
Startup Tuner. I know
System Mechanic also has a similar function, but I've always found that
WinOptimizer had a more user friendly GUI. Just like the German/Herman/Sherman
TuneUp Utilities (now subsidiary of
AVG - now subsidiary of
avast 
).
