Questions, Answered

Before You Download

Straight answers about the current version and its limits.

Does this turn Windows Fast Startup on or off?

No. The product name refers to managing sign-in apps. Windows Fast Startup is a separate power setting and is not changed by this app.

Does disabling an entry uninstall its app?

No. The original command or Startup shortcut is kept. The app changes the supported Windows startup approval state.

Can I restore an entry?

Yes. Use Enable or the available restore record for changes made by this app. A stale or changed entry is checked before restoration.

Does it manage startup for every user?

No. This version focuses on the signed-in user's supported Run and Startup-folder entries. It does not change services or system-wide startup settings.

Will my PC start twice as fast?

No specific speed improvement is promised. Results depend on which apps were starting, your storage, Windows and your hardware.
