New Features Added to Startups@Ease

I have made a complete re-design of the user interface of Startups@Ease. I have also included two new additional features to help reduce unnecessary software from running every time the computer restarts, which are:

1. Installed third party services: Services are a type of startups that starts running in the background even before you log into the computer. There is a lot of unwanted services that comes bundled with some of the software you may have installed. Additionaly, these unwanted services may exist from pre-installed software whenever you buy a new computer. You can go through the Q&A wizard to see which of these services that are actively running in your computer that you do not want by clicking on the 'Installed Services' button.

2. Services that are part of the Windows operating system: Windows come with a large amount of services that start automatically and actively run in the background. Most of these services are very important for the the OS to function properly. However, there are few default Windows services that are not essential to the OS and are not always needed to be actively running. Based on how you use your computer, you can determine which of these unnecessary services that you may need by going through a questionnaire that can be accessed by the 'Windows Services' button.

If you have bought a new computer and you have used Startups@Ease, it will be a shame that the tool has not significantly boosted your computer.
