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
Good software with a hitch 3 stars by goldiggerdog
Soluto can be a real help. A lot of software most people run does not have to be used on a regular basis, so no need to be in Startup. I have software I have marked in "pause" mode with Soluto. "Pause" means that it runs only when I require it to run. Others I run with Soluto in "delayed" mode which means it does run after a few minutes but not at Startup. If you are not a green newbie to computer systems, this software is for you! You just need to know what software you have installed and what it does within your operating system. However, having said all that, there is a hitch. I have noticed that if you are running Win 7 and if you are hibernating your system; when you re-start it, the software you have wanted to "delay" will not delay. It just does not come up at all. You have to manually do it or totally re-boot. showShow review details
Must have tool 5 stars by Duszolap (Read all my 3 reviews)
Honestly it become one of my essential apps - it can really speed up your boot time and provide information about startup programs showShow review details
It is a Beta release. 1 stars by 4thHorseman
I have been building computers for over 11 years. I installed and set this program up properly on a PC running Vista SP1 with a single core processor and my boot time more than doubled. Shutdown time increased also. It is a Beta release. showShow review details
Won't fix things, but provides valuable info! 4 stars by SNUSA1 (Read all my 5 reviews)
I've read a few posts here regarding how it shaves only fifteen or thirty seconds off a 5 minute boot time.... If it's in your face, and is annoying while "windows winds and grinds." It's not the application that is annoying, it's the hardware software combination. (And all the frustration that goes "hand in hand" while waiting dealing with a problem you know exists. That's why you installed the program in the first place, right? I did.....) While it may not turn a "turtle into a hare....." It will tell you something is wrong and what is causing the slowdown. It taught me that whatever I did with a Vista Ultimate during boot, Vista was a pig.... (A big FAT PIG!) I installed Win-7 64 bit on the exact same hardware, loaded it up with all sorts of startup stuff I use. Vista booted in three - four+ minutes regardless of what I disabled. Win 7 boots in under 45 seconds. It is also great for the "non IT pro" who would like some control ("safe control") over what starts and what doesn't. Probably won't need it in Windows 7 though! (Honestly, like night and day!) Note: The speed comparison from 5 minutes to under 50 seconds boot was from a 2007 Lenovo T61P notebook (Core-2 Duo 7500 processor with discrete graphics & 2 gigs ram.) showShow review details
Needs improvement. 2 stars by Caranthir (Read all my 3 reviews)
For the most part, this program told me what I already knew. Most of the boot-up stuff was deemed as non-removable or vital. I was able to shave off maybe 5 seconds of my 5-minute boot time. And when I booted up again it recorded my boot time as SLOWER than before, for whatever reason. On the bright side, I was impressed by how it was able to identify programs and their significance. showShow review details
Not recommended 2 stars by TerryP (Read all my 78 reviews)
As another reviewer stated, this runs on every boot and quickly becomes a nuisance. Would be nice to be able to set the auto-start items and then forget it; until it's needed again. A good idea, but it needs more work. showShow review details
Pointless software with nice interface 3 stars by vilgie (Read all my 2 reviews)
It helps to disable auto-start items, but it always auto-starts self and has no option to disable this. It would be useful to run such program once in few months, but running it at every boot is unnecessary. Use of extra program in order to delay program start in windows 7 is pointless, since this feature is built in the system. showShow review details
