Stop unnecessary startup processes to speed up your PC’s boot times.
We don’t normally quote former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, but when he said “There are known knowns. These are things that we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know,” he could have been describing the apps you know you’re running – the known knowns – and the ones you don’t.
The latter category of software runs when you boot Windows, or log in, or launch certain system tools. You can find and get rid of the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns with the superb system utility Autoruns. It gives you far more granular detail and control than CCleaner’s startup manager.
Autoruns is also extremely useful if a program refuses to uninstall because it’s running.
