Portable Startup Sentinel

Whenever you notice that your computer is running slower than usual, you should try to analyze all the currently running programs and close the ones you do not necessarily need. You can do the same if you want your PC to boot faster so you can start using it within seconds after booting. Portable Startup Sentinel is one of the programs that can help you manage the apps that launch after launching your OS.
Unlike Startup Sentinel, the portable edition does not add any items to the Windows Registry and it can be run from a portable device, without requiring any installation.
The main window of the application is highly intuitive and it displays all the applications that are set to launch as soon as you start your computer. You can analyze each of them and effortlessly remove the ones you do not need from the startup list.
Furthermore, if you do not recognize some of the items or consider them to be suspicious or malicious, you can block them from launching on the PC by adding them to the dedicated blacklist.
Another function of Portable Startup Sentinel is that it allows you to create a so-called whitelist where you can add all the app you are sure are legit and that should be permitted to launch.
All in all, Portable Startup Sentinel is a handy app that can help you make sure unnecessary programs will not be running at Windows startup, thus making sure that malicious tools will be blocked from running.
However, if you would rather delay some apps instead of removing them from startup altogether, you might need to look elsewhere, as this function is not supported by Portable Startup Sentinel.
