Restart on Crash

Restart on Crash is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help users automatically relaunch any program that hangs or crashes.

Since this is a portable tool, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to monitor utilities and restart them on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Restart on Crash boasts a clean and intuitive layout that offers several configuration settings to tinker with.

It gives you the possibility to monitor an application by selecting the EXE file. Plus, the tool is able to list the processes that are currently running on your computer and lets you pick the one to be processed.

What’s more, you can add multiple utilities, edit or delete the selected one, restart the current program if it’s not responding to Windows messages and running, as well as wait until the tool is relaunched for a user-defined time.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to make Restart on Crash execute a custom command and kill the process (if it’s still running) after a crash. The aforementioned configuration settings can be applied for each utility.

You can check the log section for details about the entire process and possible errors, and make the application  run at Windows startup.

During our testing we have noticed that Restart on Crash carries out a task quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire operation. It is quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

Restart on Crash offers a handy set of parameters for helping you relaunch programs with ease, and is suitable for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
