Do you get frustrated as to what really takes that long to complete the boot process and are eager to know which applications prolong the boot time so that you can speed up the system? Besides many tips that are available nowadays pledging to give you complete dissection of your system and to find out the application that bogs down the system, many registry hacks have also been contrived solely to address this problem. Soluto however is a new service in town that provides a one-stop solution to view the complete anatomy of the boot process & allows you to change the application behavior which delays the boot process.

Each bar represents application priority in terms of; applications that can be removed from the boot process, applications which are potentially removable (it’s up to user’s discretion whether to remove it or not), and applications having high priority such as ; explorer, CSRSS, Svchost, etc.
