Sort out problematic startup applications with Autoruns 9.2

January 15, 2008 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab Install software on your computer and you'll often find that it starts with your computer. Media players are particular annoying for this reason, so are security tools. Not only does this slow the booting process, it can cause the applications to interact with each other as they start in the wrong order. Uninstalling the software might not sort out the problem. If you launch an application when you boot your machine, it's in your system memory, which means it can't always be removed, until you close and remove from memory.

Autoruns 9.2 is one of the best free tools for managing the software that starts with your computer. You can completely erase applications, pause them from launching, rearrange the order in which they launch and more. You might be surprised about the applications that are booting with your computer.
