I am a new User from jv16. I make some test quick Checks. One of the Major Bugs are, that the Autostartmanager checks only the normal Autostart Function"; but there are other Points to start progmms. As Exampel "the Tasmanager" ; After a Login he will start any rubbisch. A Very poor performance of this Tool. Sorry, but cleaning it the Major Case of this tool

I agree. It can be way better. There is a better tool out. It is Called Autoruns v13.52

The new version is on MajorGeeks. The Home page for the program has not been update yet. With the new version you now get it in 32 and 64 bit versions.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean. Why the Startup Manager in jv16 PowerTools is, in your opinion, very poor? If you are referring to the fact that there are many automatically starting software it does not show, please do notice that these are not shown by default. If you want to see all the automatically starting software, simply click the arrow icon at the bottom left corner of the window to open up the menu and from there, you can choose which automatically starting software you want to see.

It all boils down to what you are looking to do and your level of understanding of deep operating system properties and settings manipulation. As a power user, I am sure you can find your way around Autoruns - Sysinternals by Microsoft. The tool was designed for system admins and is intended to be used if some level of experience is already under the belt.

For novice users and people just looking to optimize their system's startup without having to decide if to enable or disable certain system processes from automatically starting, the Startup Optimizer built into the upcoming jv16 PowerTools 2017 is meant to offer a hassle-free one-click optimization process.

For advanced users like yourself, the same Startup Optimizer is packed with features that can be sufficient even for forensic investigations of automatically starting applications or system processes.

All thanks to the data provided by the Startup Timer, which needs to be enabled in order for the Startup Optimizer to work properly.
