make your PC boot faster Soluto is a unique startup manager that can help you make your PC boot faster by disabling or delaying certain auto-start items. Unlike similar applications that merely list the programs that are set to start automatically whenever your computer starts, Soluto actually analyzes the boot process and shows you exactly which applications are starting on boot and how they influence your overall boot time. Based on community feedback and internal data, Soluto can classify programs into groups that suggest which applications can be safely disabled (No-Brainers), which require some advanced knowledge and which are required by the operating system and cannot be disabled. If available, Soluto provides detailed information for each program as well as statistics that show what other users did with it. You can choose to disable (pause) a startup program or delay the start until after the boot process is complete. Soluto is designed with novice computer user in mind, it is easy and safe to use but lacks advanced features and manual control options that expert users may be looking for.

Innovative but worrying 2 stars by p.armstrong527
I was initially baffled by the very simple but totally uninformative user interface. Then found how to carry out some simple tidying tasks - like removing things from boot. The recommendations were very clear and helpful for a novice. It didn't come near the real problem I was having (60-sec delay on resume) - but then nothing else has either. The two worrying things - first Soluto makes its presence very clear during every boot (and slows it?). Second and far more of a surprise is that when I uninstalled it explained that it would undo everything it had done to improve the system - which it then did, including delayed startups. This perhaps clarifies a previous comment - delayed startups seem to be controlled by Soluto itself. Surely the ideal system cleaner would explain everything it did before it happened, do a good job and then retire until wanted - not permanently control the system. It needs a 'go away till I call you' mode. Clever - very clever - but worrying. showShow review details
Not much difference 3 stars by hrwasp (Read all my 48 reviews)
This software was designed to help you shave off launch time of your PC. As we know Microsoft loads TONS of "stuff" that is really not needed. A techie would not really see much of a difference when using this software, but a novice with a new machine will see a huge difference. Once you have shaved your start up time, having it installed and starting up every single time you start your PC is really overkill. Again, techies-no, Newbies with NEW machines-yes. showShow review details
A reliability issue? 2 stars by Henry8 (Read all my 35 reviews)
Seems to work quite ok, but something about this program didn't convince me. It's automatized in a nice way, but doesn't give options how to control the delays, including time spans - it simply assumes that "delay" is "delay"... And one major point, speeding boot... I didn't notice anything there, even if the program proudly presented how the boot time had reduced from almost 3 minutes to far less than 2. The final point was, as it quite often proves out to be, while uninstalling it: uninstalling with Revo, I just got this tingling feeling "Is everything going the right way?" I was afraid that something could go basically wrong, with possible boot problems... Well, nothing did go wrong. All my settings were back to normal. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this program. showShow review details
