Terms Of Use
Use the app within its supported scope and review the included license notices.
Free Desktop Utility
Fast Startup is provided as a free Windows desktop utility. Check the current supported scope and inspect results before relying on them.
Use Files And Settings You May Change
Keep security tools and essential accessibility or device software enabled. Unknown or protected entries may be read-only. Change one or a small number of familiar entries so the effect is easy to assess and reverse.
Open-Source Components
Included components retain their own copyright, license and warranty notices. See Open Source for corresponding source and upstream project links. The modified interface is an independent product, not an endorsement by the upstream maintainers.
No Guaranteed Result
This version manages supported current-user startup entries only. It does not control every Windows service, scheduled task, driver or system-wide startup item. It does not change Windows Fast Startup power settings or guarantee a boot-time improvement.
Optional Software Is Separate
An optional research invitation has its own visible Agree / Decline screen and policies. Declining it does not prevent using the free application.
