What can be toggled on and off in the Startup section of Task Manager?

The Startup section of Task Manager is specifically designed to manage the applications that automatically launch when Windows starts. Within this interface, users can enable or disable these startup programs, which can help improve boot times and system performance. By toggling programs off, the user ensures that they do not run at startup, allowing for a cleaner desktop experience and potentially speeding up the system's startup process.

The other options involve different aspects of system management. Windows system updates are controlled through Windows Update settings rather than the Task Manager. Background services are managed through the Services console and are not listed in the Startup section. Network devices, such as adapters and their settings, are configured in the Network and Sharing Center or Device Manager, which also does not relate to the startup programs in Task Manager. This distinction clarifies why programs that start with a Windows login are the correct focus in this context.
