Check Windows boot speed

The task of increasing Windows boot speed is something of a holy grail in computing. There's nothing more annoying than seeing your new PC or laptop gradually slow down to a snail's pace as it boots-up.

A long boot-up time usually indicates a lack of optimization or that something has installed itself and is badly dragging down the performance of your computer. BootRacer is a handy tool that measures the speed of your start-ups and shut downs using two different methods - the time it takes for your desktop to load and BootRacer's own estimation based on it's own parameters. Once installed, you must click on the "Race" button when it appears. You can then configure a few options and restart your computer.

BootRacer installs itself as a service by checking the processor load during startup and stopping when measuring low activity range. The developers stress that it's very important not to move your mouse or keyboard while it conducts tests because it can reset BootRacer. Note that BootRacer can be set to run just one time only or every time Windows starts.

BootRacer doesn't really feel like a sophisticated app but it is one of the few apps that can get to the bottom of boot-up problems that are slowing you down.

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
