[REVIEW] Sysinternals Autoruns - The BEST Startup Manager


Recommended Posts

I tried lots of Start Up managers, and they were all offering basically the same thing, HKLM and HKCU, but when I googled yesterday and found this one, I was really shocked.So, decided to share it here, I wrote this review by myself, so sorry if there are any language\technical mistakes.This is my first software review also.

IMHO after trying this to remove a nasty virus, This thing should be really called "The" Start Up manager for Windows, and it should be used with anyone who wanna repair PCs .

It is the first one ever I saw which really gets "Everything" which starts with Windows, without ANY exceptions of any kind, including even stuff which are used only by very few malwares.Such as Drivers,WinLogon, Explorer methods which aren't common at all, and are real pain to remove or even to identify them.

The Verification also is really helpful, it shows next to each start up item if it is verified and signed or not, so you can't be tricked anymore by fake files which always say "Microsoft Corporation" in their description ;) , and it have that right click>search online, so very easily you can google it and make sure of the file you suspicious at, and see what sites\people saying about it :woot: .

I also like its integration with Process Explorer, so you can easily gain full control over the process you suspicious at :yes: , with the powerful features of Process Explorer, which is considered one of the best Process Manager for Windows too.

Only two things I wish they added it, First is the ability to get start up items of Windows installed on other partition, like WhatInStartup does, that was gonna rock, specially when using it from Live BartPE or WinBuilder made disk :punk: .

Also, adding small module to actively monitor which can run transparently and warn the user if new start up item was added, like StartupMonitor is gonna be really nice thing, specially if added option to instantly remove it and kill the process which added it.

Please tell me what you think about it after you try it yourself :rolleyes:

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
