[@RichU] I don’t think Boot Racer is intended as an everyday startup manager. It’s to help you track what slows down your startup. But maybe it works to control everything when it’s not monitoring startups. I’ve had many problems with startup programs on my Win 10 PC. Probably because I’ve tried out Glary Utilities, Ashampoo Win Optimizer, Win Utilities, Boot Racer, CCleaner and others that all offer a way to control startup programs. I had 4 programs that get started automatically, couldn’t get others to start. After uninstalling old Boot Racer and installing new version, then rebooting, I now have 18 programs in my task tray. Anyway, my PC is not the best way to tell if something is good at managing startups!
The Premium version (in this giveaway) has an “Ultimate Service Optimizer” section (click the “Speed Up!” button) that lets you start/stop and set startup type. Similar to Windows’ Task Manager or Services.msc, except they also tell you the dependencies between services. But the Ultimate Service Optimizer DOES let you create a snapshot of how services are setup, then in can optimize them (but it never explains what that does). If you’re not happy you can restore things from the snapshot. I like that approach.
