WinBootInfo

WinBootInfo is an advanced software application designed for analyzing the system activity at startup. You can use it to find out which programs are slowing down the Windows boot. It primarily addresses users with some background in such apps.

In order for WinBootInfo to work properly, you must restart the computer every time you want to get an update on the startup details, as well as run the application with administrative rights.

The GUI is modern and professional-looking. You can view each autostart service in the boot process tree, a detailed boot load history of drivers and applications, along with a graphical representation showing the evolution and peaks of CPU and disk utilization.

Statistics focus on the total boot time, loaded processes, drivers, binary images and unique binaries, read and written I/O data, along with the boot to Session Manager, the Win32 subsystem, Login Manager, user session initialization and to Windows Exlorer.

You can find out the CPU idle time and time spent in user and kernel mode, together with the total interruptions and context switches. Log details can be printed or saved to file for further evaluation.

Plus, you can copy any piece of information to the Clipboard, as well as clear log history and customize the quick access toolbar. As we have previously mentioned, a new system restart is required to measure the boot performance once again. Unfortunately, the program does not integrate tools for comparing statistics between multiple boot performance sessions.

WinBootInfo is very low-demanding concerning the CPU and system memory, has a good response time and works smoothly, without hanging, crashing or showing error notifications; we haven't encountered any issues throughout our evaluation. WinBootInfo comes up with an effective solution to monitoring Windows boot details, thanks to its advanced features.
