Startup Manager
When the system starts, some software will automatically run, this will slow down the system startup speed. Startup Manager can close these automatically running programs to speed up the system startup speed.
It has five tabs: Speedup, Startup, Task, Services, and Records.
1. Speedup
This feature requires a Wise Care 365 Pro license. Buy it now!
The Speedup panel divides the programs and services that run automatically at startup into three categories: Recommend Off, Optional Off, Leave as it is.
After selecting the services and programs that want to be closed, click the Optimize button to disable the selected programs and services from running automatically when the system starts.
Recommend off
The services and programs will not affect the system's stability after being disabled.
Optional off
After closing these programs or services, it may cause that some of the additional functions of the program cannot be run automatically, and need to be run manually.
For example, OneDrive, if it does not run automatically when the system starts, its icon will not be displayed in the notification area, and files on the local and OneDrive server will not be automatically synchronized and updated. You need to start OneDrive manually.
Therefore, Optional Off means the programs that do not need to run automatically can be closed.
Leave as it is
There is no need to change the current state of services and programs. Most of them are the services of Windows system. Please DO NOT optimize them unless you are sure they can be disabled.
