Unless they came in a portable version, we also installed the startup managers themselves.

We installed a security suite and also a couple of standard programs used by many people all around the world. We did not test programs which have this feature included as secondary feature, and we didn't test any commercial programs. We would also like to point out the fact that we have chosen only free programs which focus on managing startup items. Because we ran all the tests on a computer with Windows 10, we decided to leave these three managers out. However, Soluto and WinPatrol are no longer maintained by their developers, and their old versions, as well as the latest version of WhatInMyStartup, don't offer support for Windows 10. Because some of you sent us messages about a few others, we also intended to test Soluto, WhatInMyStartup, and WinPatrol. The programs we tested are the following: Autoruns for Windows, Starter, Startup Delayer, Task Manager, AutoRun Organizer and BootRacer.
