Windows Software





Soluto 1.1.1132.0

Most of us have bought a new computer at least one time. It’s quite a nice feeling. You just power up your computer and within 30-40 seconds you can already check your email or play your favorite game. However, after a couple of months things aren’t so pretty anymore. You power up your computer and it seems to take longer each day to load.

If you take a look on the Internet for a solution to this, you'll find all kind of tips and tricks and several software that promises to improve the load time of your computer and overall performance. I'm not saying that those are not effective but you must be pretty careful what software will you choose to let playing around with your system registry. One software that really seem to make a difference when it comes to frustrating load time of your OS is Soluto.

Once installed, Soluto will analyze your computer boot process and then it will show you exactly the number of applications and processes that loads while booting. You'll be able to change each application's behavior (except those belonging to the system) in order to improve overall boot time of your computer. You can Pause or Delay an applications launch - pausing means that the application will be removed from the boot process and run it anytime after the boot it's complete; delay means that the application will be launched when the boot is complete and the system enters in idle state.

To see the improvements of your tweaks (or the lack of improvements - hopefully not), Soluto records the history of time taken by each reboot (you can see it by clicking 'History' in the main window).

Pluses: Shows boot time for each start-up element; nice interface;

Drawbacks / flaws: The application is in beta stage so there is still improvements to be done.

In conclusion: Soluto is an innovative start-up manager with excellent interface and decent features, I recommend it - definitely.
