What is StartEd Lite?

StartEd Lite

StartEd Lite is a handy tool that helps you manage which programs start up when your computer boots. Some apps automatically join the Windows autostart list after you install them, meaning they run every time you turn on your PC. This can be great for things like anti-malware software, which needs to launch right away to keep you safe from viruses. But having too many programs running at startup can slow down your boot time, and that's where StartEd Lite comes in!

Managing Your Autostart Programs

When your PC starts feeling sluggish because of too many apps launching automatically, it's time to take control. With StartEd Lite, you can easily see which programs are set to run at startup and decide which ones you want to keep or remove. If you're not comfortable using Windows' built-in autorun manager, this free app makes it super simple.

User-Friendly Interface

This free version of StartEd Pro offers a clean and easy-to-navigate interface. It automatically detects all the applications that want to start with your PC and lists them out neatly. You'll get to see their names, paths, types of startup, and file sizes—all laid out clearly.

Color-Coded Entries for Easy Management

The cool thing about StartEd Lite is its color-coded entries! This lets you quickly identify old entries (that don't point anywhere anymore), new apps you've just installed, and important processes necessary for your system's health. Plus, it highlights potential threats like Trojan horses based on the software's anti-malware features.

Managing Autorun Services

You can also dive into autorun services with StartEd Lite! Here, you'll find details about their names, statuses, descriptions, dependencies—basically everything you need to know about these background helpers. Just like the apps list, these entries are color-coded too!

Additions & Features

If you're curious about more advanced features such as backups or restore points, check out StartEd Pro. In our tests, the free version didn't slow down the computer at all and worked smoothly without any hiccups. While it doesn't have groundbreaking features compared to similar software options out there, it's definitely a solid choice for managing your startup items.
