Which programs launch when Windows starts, and which ones can wait until later? Quick StartUp puts startup entries in one list so you can inspect them, change how they launch, and reduce the load during boot.
Inspect the startup list
Quick StartUp displays programs configured to run when the computer starts. The list refreshes when the program opens, and selecting an entry shows its details at the bottom of the window. A security risk rating gives you another point of reference while reviewing individual entries.
Right-click an entry to access its available actions. You can enable or disable it, start it, edit it, or remove it from the startup list. Quick StartUp also lets you add entries and attach comments, which can help distinguish programs with similar or unclear names.
Delay or disable a startup entry
Use the one-click delay option on an entry when you want its program to start later. Disabling an entry keeps it from launching automatically; starting it from the context menu launches it immediately. These controls let you adjust startup behavior without removing every entry you do not want to run at boot.
Add notes to entries
Comments let you record why an entry is present or why its startup behavior was changed. For example, a note can identify a program that should remain enabled for a particular task. Editing, adding, and deleting entries are also available from the list’s right-click actions.
