Review by:
4.5/5

Managing the system startup is not important solely due to performance issues, but it can also reduce the risk of malware or other unwanted programs from running in the background without your knowledge. AutoRuns is a lightweight, but powerful tool that enables you to view and manage apps, drivers, services and other components that run automatically at system startup.

The application comes with a tabbed interface where you can toggle between various programs, services, components and everything else that is configured to run at system boot. Since the app provides a complete picture of what’s going on at system boot, you can identify programs that are taking too many system resources, causing delays or even various issues with the overall performance.

You can go through every tab, view the listed items and decide whether you prefer it not start with Windows. In fact, you can easily disable or delete unnecessary and unwanted programs, resulting in a faster and more stable system. The tool can be especially beneficial for system administrators or power users who want to identify and troubleshoot various issues with problematic programs or unstable processes.

The app comes with a search function that enables you to find a specific item that you want to troubleshoot or test. In fact, the app includes a quick find option in the top section where you can search for specific items. If you are looking for something more specific or services with multiple entries, then you can use the Find option where you can fine-tune your search. You can toggle between the entries from the Search menu or using the F3 and F3+Shift hotkeys.

Lastly, it is worth mentioning that AutoRuns includes a quick link to virustotal.com where you can scan specific files or apps to make sure they are safe.
