Autoruns 14.20

Autoruns is the most comprehensive startup monitor available for Windows, providing deep visibility into the programs, drivers, and services configured to launch during system bootup or login. While most utilities only show the basic Startup folder, Autoruns scans the Registry keys (Run, RunOnce, Appinit DLLs), Explorer shell extensions, browser helper objects, and Winlogon notifications. It is an essential tool for system administrators and power users looking to optimize performance or identify persistent malware.

The utility is designed to help you cut through the noise of modern operating systems. With features like "Hide Signed Microsoft Entries," you can quickly isolate third-party applications that have added themselves to your startup routine. It also integrates with VirusTotal for instant security scanning and offers a command-line version, Autorunsc, for automated reporting in CSV format.

• Unmatched Visibility: Monitors an extensive range of locations including logon entries, services, drivers, codecs, and Winsock Layered Service Providers.
• Advanced Filtering: Easily zoom in on suspicious items by hiding signed Microsoft or Windows entries to focus solely on third-party software.
• Security Integration: Includes built-in support for digital signature verification and VirusTotal hash submissions to identify malicious files.
• Multi-User Support: View and manage the auto-start configurations for all user accounts established on a single system.
• Interactive Management: Instantly disable entries by unchecking them or navigate directly to the specific Registry or file system location with the "Jump to Entry" feature.
• Process Explorer Integration: Seamlessly link with Process Explorer to view active process properties for any running startup item.
• Command-Line Utility: Includes Autorunsc for professional environments requiring scriptable, text-based, or CSV-formatted startup reports.
