About this resource
What it does
BootRacer measures Windows startup and logon time and can help identify whether a PC is taking longer than expected to reach a usable desktop.
Interpret results carefully
Boot timing varies with updates, disk activity, security software, Fast Startup, and connected devices. Run several comparable tests before drawing conclusions, and use Task Manager or Autoruns to investigate a consistent startup problem.
Status
Treat this as a focused utility rather than a complete performance diagnosis. Verify compatibility with your current Windows version on the publisher's site before installing it.

BootRacer
Original resource notes
BootRacer is a small, free utility which solves a problem that for the last twenty years, Microsoft has not. BootRacer gives you control over which of your programs start automatically when Windows boots. At the click of a button, BootRacer will delay the initiation of those startup programs which you've decided don't need to start simultaneously with Windows. You can easily disable the startup of any program without any risk to your PC, because BootRacer is completely safe. And most importantly, BootRacer makes it easy to revert any changes you make, by giving you up to 1,000 undo steps. BootRacer shows you how much boot time can be saved, should you decide to disable the auto-startup of your programs, thereby empowering you to make well-informed decisions. BootRacer also gives you control over the order in which your programs start. BootRacer is simple, easy and intuitive, and is free for non-commercial use.
