How to Speed Up Your Windows Startup by Delaying Programs

[BrianBosworth]

Many Windows computer owners complain that their computer startup process takes a considerable amount of time. The reason for the startup sluggishness is simple: startup programs. When you install new applications on your computer, many of them have their ‘Automatically start with Windows’ option checked by default. Thus instances of such apps run as soon as Windows starts up.

There are ways to disable the various startup apps but not all of them can be disabled because you are going to need them later on. One convenient and effective way to speed up the startup process would be to ‘delay’ the startup programs. You can give your computer time enough to become ‘active’ and properly run the startup programs. Here to help implement this solution excellently is a tool called “Startup Delayer.”

Judging by my logic, this won't make it faster.
This program has t run first before all the other in order to control them. To accomplish this, it should have some sort of driver that loads before you see the welcome screen. It takes a considerable amount of CPU to do that.

There is no priority in which windows loads 3rd party applications.

Ask yourself which is better:
Delay a load of applications which may not be required to run at startup or disable/remove the startup entries so that your PC will run faster?

There's a possible driverless approach: grab all the startup programs from the registry and move them to a private database. Put this delayer as the only "real" autostarting program. When it runs, it reads from the database, runs the first entry there, waits, then runs the second and so on. Check startup locations every hour in search of new entries. Restore all of them to the registry when you uninstall this tool.
