Remove programs manually
You can change startup programs Mac computers won’t always need manually, though it takes a bit of work. Here’s how to turn off startup programs Mac won’t use in System Preferences:
- On your Mac menu bar, select the Apple logo on the left side
- Select “System Preferences”
- Select “Users & Groups”
- Choose your ID from the list
Note: if you’re the only user on your Mac, you may only have one profile, and won’t need to choose a user from a list.
- Select “Login Items”
- Under the “Hide” column, un-select any items you no longer want to run at login
