AutoRun Manager vs Quick Startup

AutoRun Manager is a free Windows command-line utility for viewing and changing programs configured to run at startup. It can list startup entries, add a program, and remove one. It can also save and restore the startup configuration, though that backup does not include the programs themselves. A separate command clears all programs from the startup list. The utility manages entries through the Windows Registry and records actions and errors in timestamped text files in My Documents\AutoRunManager. The instructions say to open Command Prompt as an administrator and run AutoRunManager.exe; the command-line interface displays its available commands when started. The project uses the MIT License, which permits free use and distribution and provides the software without warranty. The README invites community contributions through pull requests. The listed plan is free.

Quick Startup is a free Windows utility for managing programs configured to run when a computer starts. Its list view displays startup entries with detailed information and a security risk rating.

These controls can help users review startup configuration and change which programs launch automatically or when they launch. Quick Startup supports Windows 10 and 11. The listed Windows version is 6.0.1.22, updated Sep. 21, 2026. Glarysoft specializes in utility software for Windows systems.
