Startup Apps Keys for Windows

See and switch your Windows startup apps from Stream Deck

To turn startup programs off or on from a Stream Deck, add Startup Apps Keys for Windows: a Startup Toggle key switches one entry you choose with a press. Other keys count your startup apps (such as 7/11) and show NEW with the name when a program adds itself to start with Windows.

Get it on the Elgato Marketplace

Stream Deck plugin · Works on Windows 10 or later with the Stream Deck app 6.9 or later.

What you can do

• Count your startup apps: the key shows how many are on, of how many (7/11). Press to open the Startup page of Settings.
• Switch one program with a press: Startup Toggle shows ON or OFF for the entry you choose. Press for off, again for on.
• Notice newcomers: New Startup App shows NEW and the name when a program adds itself. Press to mark it as seen.
• Covers the classic places: the programs in the Run registry keys and the Startup folders.
• Changes only the on/off mark: it writes the same mark Windows Settings writes, for the one entry you chose, and the entry itself stays as it is.
• Easy to undo: the next press restores the earlier mark.
• Shows what Windows reports, and runs with normal user rights.
• Runs on your PC: nothing is logged or sent. English and Japanese.

How it works

1. Install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace. In the Stream Deck app, drag Startup Apps onto a key to see the count.
2. Drag Startup Toggle onto a key, open its settings and choose an entry in the list. Press to switch it off, press again to switch it on.
3. Drag New Startup App onto a key. It shows 0 until a program registers itself to start with Windows; press it once you have seen the NEW entry.

Off or on takes effect the next time you sign in to Windows.
