The TrimBoot application is closed source. For startup scanning, context menus, and related features, the product may use or reference third-party open-source materials. See Third-party open source and licenses for the project list and terms; rights remain with their authors, and redistribution or modification of those components must follow their licenses.
For users who want to see and control startup entries and related entry points on Windows, with logs and block records to review changes and attempt rollback where the entry type and backups allow.
Main window (startup management, English UI):
- Configurable scan coverage: registry (Run/RunOnce, including Policies Run when that option is on), scheduled tasks, startup folders, services, WMI, drivers, and many other persistence locations—each category can be toggled in Settings (see the app’s scan options).
- Enable, disable, delete (rollback may be available for some entries via block records or backups; not all locations support undo), black/white lists, and defense / auto-block rules.
- Can re-block items you disabled if another program re-enables them (when that option is enabled in Settings; admin-only categories may still be limited by Windows).
- Real-time monitoring and periodic safety-net scans; operations and notable events go to the activity log.
- Browse entries by category; enable or disable items; AppX / packaged apps are loaded and merged with package-level handling.
- Works with block records and recovery flows where applicable; search, hide disabled items (per Settings), and more.
- Keeps block records and traces for applicable actions so you can try line-by-line rollback when the app provides recovery data for that entry type.
- Language, run at logon (scheduled task), and other options.
- Local data (database, logs, etc.) defaults to
%AppData%\TrimBoot\.
- Windows 10 or later
- One official installer package is provided. It is a self-contained build for Windows 10 / 11 x64, so you usually do not need to install .NET separately.
Startup items, scheduled tasks, services, and some context-menu entries may belong to Windows, drivers, security, or backup software. Disabling, removing, or applying broad rules without care can cause failed sign-in, missing hardware features, or—in rare cases—boot or recovery issues. Block history, restore, and logs help in many situations but do not guarantee every change can be undone on every PC.
Before you change an entry, try to learn what it does (vendor docs, trustworthy guides). For unfamiliar or system-like items, consider asking an AI assistant, searching discussions, or asking someone experienced—then decide whether to disable or remove it.
