D. Open the Startup tab and methodically disable items currently listed as enabled and reboot, checking for issue resolution at each startup, would be the best solution for the technician to selectively prevent programs from loading at startup. This option allows the technician to easily see which programs are causing the excessive boot times and selectively disable them. Right-clicking the Windows button and entering shell:startup and moving items one by one to the Recycle Bin could be time-consuming and potentially cause issues if important system files are deleted. Remark out entries listed in the registry could be risky and may cause issues if the wrong entries are modified. Manually disabling all startup tasks currently listed as enabled and rebooting may not be efficient and could potentially disable important system processes.

Since msconfig is really a thing anymore, it will tell you to go to the startup tab of the task manager.

To selectively prevent programs from loading on startup in a Windows 10 machine, a technician should open the Startup tab and methodically disable items currently listed as enabled, and then reboot the machine, checking for issue resolution at each startup. Therefore, Option D is the correct answer. The Startup tab can be accessed through the Task Manager by following these steps: Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu. Click on the Startup tab. Methodically disable items currently listed as enabled by right-clicking on the item and selecting Disable from the context menu. Reboot the machine and check for issue resolution at each startup. By disabling items in the Startup tab, the technician can selectively prevent programs from loading on startup and check for issue resolution. The process of disabling each item one by one allows the technician to identify which program is causing the excessive boot times.

Option A is not the best choice as it involves manually moving items one by one to the Recycle Bin, which can be a time-consuming and inefficient process. Option B is not the best choice as it involves modifying the Windows Registry, which can be risky if done incorrectly and should only be done by experienced technicians. Option C is not the best choice as disabling all startup tasks currently listed as enabled may not help the technician to identify which program is causing the issue.

Ahh the old school answer, I used to do this when I found items would just come back, but for COMPTIA its not the recommended course of action.

Its not recommended to change the registry for a simple task like disabling a startup program. Editing the registry should be a last resort (aside from reinstalling windows that is)

Absolutely not. Why would you do that? You can simply disable which processes are activated at startup via task manager.
