There are too many reasons behind your Mac’s performance. This is one of the primary reasons that I fixed my Mac. Well, Apple is giving the option for seeing startup programs on Mac running on MacOS Ventura, Monterey, Catalina, MacOS Mojave (10.14), High Sierra or later, EI Capitan, Yosemite. To instantly start your work and Don’t remind about the first job on every morning. Users are keeping Mail app, Safari, Notes, Skype and Third-Party Software as a Startup program.

Some of the time we need to add this startup program list depending on usage and comfortability.
