April 17th, 2012· Build 323 has added support so that new versions are checked at the end of the Launch Process.
· This means you don't need to relaunch the configuration just to check for updates.
· Build 323 also includes various fixes and optimizations.
March 5th, 2012· Build 322 includes a new feature allowing you to ignore Launching an Application if no Internet connection is detected.

· Build 322 also includes various fixes.
February 4th, 2012· Build 321 has a hotfix for build 320 which crashed if you used 'Show Launch Process Window on Startup'.
February 3rd, 2012· Build 320 has no more Custom controls which were previously causing random crashes and other instability on user's machines.
· This means that the Interface has moved back to traditional Windows controls and will look a little different to previous builds. You'll also notice there are no longer any skins supported. Startup Delayer will just use whatever Windows skin you have applied.
December 13th, 2011· This build has a completely rewritten Serialization system
November 18th, 2011· Build 318 contains fixes for crashes as well as improvements to the detection of paths and launching of applications that have previously ignored the Minimized checkbox.
August 16th, 2011· Build 315 contains more fixes for issues that have been reported. In particular Build 315 has an improved startup sequence. .Net would generate some code everytime you ran Startup Delayer. This meant that on slower computers, it would result in an extremely slow startup.
· Build 315 now caches all of this which means .Net won't generate the code when you run Startup Delayer, resulting in a faster startup.
July 29th, 2011· Build 314 includes a number of fixes including the reported inability to move Common items without being continuously prompted about Admin rights.
July 25th, 2011· This release fixes the issue with ordering of Applications sometimes not sticking when you refresh or reload.

July 6th, 2011· The major change in this version of Startup Delayer is the merging of the Active and Common User into the one list, similar to how it was in Startup Delayer 2.5.
· There's now a new toggle in the User menu that allows you to enable/disable this feature. It will be enabled by default and should work immediately after installation.
June 9th, 2011· This build includes a fix for the high CPU usage when waiting for other processes to start as well as some rare crashes.
· The startup sequence has also been fixed so that its no longer intermixed Common and current user.
June 9th, 2011· This build contains a number of fixes for Localization issues that were discovered by the translators. Some missing translations have now been added and other controls have been resized.
· Also fixed an error with the License code that was discovered when the Input locate was set to Russian or Greek (and other inputs).
May 30th, 2011· This build has a fix for the issue uncovered in build 302 that prevented Common Applications from launching on some systems.
· Given up on using the new NTAccount windows
May 30th, 2011· This build is a hotfix for build 301. It seems the new method for grabbing the user names and domain information needs some more work as it fails on several systems. This build reverts back to the previous method
May 27th, 2011· Wwhen you install this build, the installer will take a few moments to optimize Startup Delayer to start faster on your computer. With this change you should see Startup Delayer's interface appear much quicker when you launch it.
· Some users have been experiencing extremely slow startups when using Startup Delayer (2 minutes+). Not just when rebooting, but also just trying to open the interface to view Applications.
May 24th, 2011· This build has more fixes for the reported errors, along with tweaks and modifications to improve the experience.
· Removed the multicolours from the List items. Items are now black, or gray if they're disabled, and that's it.

May 24th, 2011· Fixed various other issues with this release and modified the quick edit bar to be a little clearer by splitting up the CPU/Disk amounts into seperate areas.
May 19th, 2011· Added prompt when the active user couldn't be selected
· If the current user can't be selected in the user list, the first available user is used instead
· Added prompt when no users could be retrieved
· Reduced the autoupdate from 14 days to 7 days for a while
