New features of Startup Master 3

In the article, I will share with you some of key features and enhancements introduced in the upcoming version of Startup Master, our open source Windows startup manager and optimizer.

1. Windows Services & Scheduled Tasks

In Startup Master 3, you can not only manage startup items in Windows Registry and startup folders, but you can also manage Windows services and scheduled tasks which many of them are starting automatically on system startup. By managing those special startup items, you will be able to have more control on system startup process and will be able to optimize system startup speed and system responsiveness.

Startup Master can view and manage all services and scheduled tasks types including system and applications services and tasks. You will have the control to allow which services and tasks to be viewed and managed by Startup Master.

2. Advanced Startup Delayer Options

New advanced options have been added to Startup Delayer to enable you to have more control on delayed startup items. For example, you can specify whatever to launch a startup item after a certain amount of seconds or when the CPU usage is lower than a certain value. You can also specify the priority and the style of each delayed startup item.

3. Improved Startup Guard

Startup Guard received important updates to address some bugs and improve reliability and performance. Startup Guard log was also improved and Windows services monitor was also added to detect the running of Windows services.

4. Major UI enhancements

Startup Master 3 received major improvements in the terms of user interface. New columns have been added to provide more information about each startup item with the ability to customize which columns to be shown.

Startup items highlighting allows startup items to be easily identified according to their status with options to change individual highlighting colors.

When creating new startup items or editing existing ones, you can choose programs to be added as startup items and their startup locations in more graphical and easy interface instead of plan lists.
