Autoruns v14.11

Special on 9 Feb 2024
  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 6 Feb 2024
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Autoruns shows programs that run during system bootup or login, as well as entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility.

A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).

Alternatively, Autoruns Portable is stealth and will only show the EULA once.

schemer > Stick with the older (pre-Microsoft) versions if you have them. The file-sizes on these newer ones are substancially larger...

Oh, come on—2.8 MB is "large"? Is this the '90s again? :?)

Though v. 13.93 is available here, at Portable Freeware, the MS site only has v. 13.91 . Is this version again being recalled by MS?

I'll be damned ! Sysinternals' utilities changelogs ersatz have not quite vanished, after all,
but are definitely (deliberately?) well hidden from sight:

Looks like one of TPFC's eminent updates contributor was in the know all along ...;-)
