Autorun Organizer vs Win Startup Manager

Autorun Organizer is a free Windows utility for managing programs that launch when Windows starts. It can enable or disable startup entries, remove them, or suspend launches, and it can process autorun records in batches. Its overview rates startup programs based on how often entries are disabled or deleted and displays a diagram of Windows boot time. The utility checks startup programs through VirusTotal, described on its product page as covering more than 60 antivirus programs. It can notify users about new auto-start entries, search quickly, detect erroneous records, and update itself. Listed requirements are Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 in 32-bit or 64-bit, at least 256 MB RAM, 50 MB of disk space, and administrator rights. If the installer’s data-transfer option is enabled, the program sends application and startup-entry details to its server for frequency information and VirusTotal analysis. The license permits free distribution if the distribution package is not modified.

Win Startup Manager is a free, open source Windows application for managing programs that launch when Windows boots. It works with startup entries stored in the Windows Registry, letting users show, activate or deactivate, edit, delete, and add entries. The interface displays each entry's Registry path and provides sorting options. Users can export a backup of startup entries and import a previously created backup. Shortcut entries have a separate workflow: a button opens the Windows Startup folders in Explorer, but shortcut editing is not integrated into the app. The repository includes an MIT License, which permits use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale subject to its terms; the license provides the software without warranty. The application was developed with Ring, based on RingQt and the Ring_WinCReg and Ring_WINAPI extensions. The maker is identified as Majdi Sobain, whose GitHub profile lists Yemen. The public repository lists no releases or packages.
