I only found answers to start a task every hour or similar, but my need is different.

My mother-in-law's PC is quite slow to start, so I think it would be a good idea to postpone things that are non-essential.

Can I put programs in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup so that they are started an hour later?

  • @Run5k except for the OS, everything is the same. We can close this one if we add the win10 tag to that one. – András Nov 01 '18 at 15:53

You could create a scheduled task that runs at logon, and in the advanced settings of the trigger specify a delay of an hour or so.

To open the task scheduler, press Win+R, type control schedtasks Enter

In the left panel, select Task Scheduler Library, and then right click on it. You can either select Create a basic task immediately, or create a new folder first, if you want to keep things a bit organized.

You'll need to finish the task creation wizard, and on the last page, select 'Open the properties window of this task' before clicking Finish.

In the Properties Window, select the Triggers tab, edit the At Login trigger, and set the delay.
