I should have said the Premium Button, not Go Premium

TK, yes I am aware of the Windows Task Manager. Many startups don't show up there and it does not allow you to rearrange boot order. There is just a lot more information in BootRacer. As the programs are loading, you can see which ones are hanging or preventing other programs from loading successfully. Much more than Task Manager, but easier to use than AutoRuns. And it is very lightweight and doesn't seem to have any noticeable impact on my system.

Wisecare clearly says in their "free" versus "premium" (PAID) version comparison table that the free version does not include the boot time feature. So, no.

Tranmontane, Personally, if a product is interesting, I try it to find out for myself if it is worthwhile for me to use. Why would anyone consider the number of people looking at it to be an indication of whether it works for them or not? I wouldn't buy a car because it's the most popular one, that the most people buy! I would try it out first and see if it meets my needs.

Tranmontane,

Would you be kind enough to share your results with us? I'd love to know whether you found it to be worthwhile.

*** Thanks ***

Rick_S1, Actually, understandably you rather missed my point.....

I was expressing surprise that, quite late in the day, there was only one comment -- a far cry from the days of yore, when you'd have a whole bunch, some liking, some not, and by the end of the day sometimes as many as 35-50 comments.

It just seemed to ME at least, that coming back to GOATD, perhaps had become a shadow of it's former self -- and I was looking for comments on that point, rather than the programme. I think (thought?) I knew why, but I also know that just appearing on this website after at least a month or two, I may have missed developments -- my fault of course.

I am most interested in the programme's ability to tell me what is slowing my SSD down (if indeed it is being slowed down, at around 40-50 seconds to boot up). I've downloaded the programme, but now I find I can achieve this from other, well-known, utilities. So I MAY not actually install it -- since it is because I used to have so many programmes on the SSD that caused it to slow, I think.

One can have too much of a good thing, it seems.

TK, I left out some qualifiers, and I apologize for the lapse. I would research the product first. In this case, it is a program developed by the same person who created UnHackMe, which has a good reputation. I also rely on my expertise, as I have been building PCs since the late 1990s, and Iupgrading them and fixing them for others. I also developed software and found and fixed system problems on mainframe computers for about three decades, so my analysis and trobuleshooting skills are oretty good. Thank you for asking.

Gary, Good question. I use Glary Utilities Pro, and that suite has a "boot time tweaker" as well.....ans so does CCleaner. Glary's tell me different boot from time week to week. However, I did the same procedure as you with, my watch, and in writing moment, my actual boot time is 71 secunds. Now, I'm gonna install BootRacer Premium , set it and measure my new boot time. I'll return with the result. Exiting, isn't it :)

Gary, Perhaps 'Boot Racer' actually wants people to think it is actually doing something.
It does nothing to speed up your boot time so the name is actually misleading.

Allan F, other techies

Several programs SHOW the programs and services that start at boot time. Many are

Windows services
Application services
scheduled tasks
plug-ins
startup programs

Biggest problem with all these programs is to know WHICH ones could be safely disabled and which are critical that should not be disabled.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks you.

Gary, I noticed that by removing the boot accelerator, I was spending a little time ... the start of the program
