[Auto]Process Blocker : Handle Windows startup processes by disabling or enabling them with the aid of this portable tool that provides support for basic features
[Auto]Process Blocker is a small software application developed specifically for helping you block programs that run at Windows startup with the aid of simple actions. This way, you can make your computer boot faster than usual. In order to run the tool correctly, and avoid bumping into all sorts of errors and compatibility issues, you need to deploy Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on the host PC.
Take advantage of its portable status
It’s easy to work with [Auto]Process Blocker because it is portable. You may keep it stored on pen drives or other similar devices so you can carry it with you everywhere you go. In addition, you may opt for running it straight from the storage device. You need to have administrative privileges in order to disable or enable Windows startup items.Uninstalling the utility means deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet because it does not leave entries in your Windows registry and create additional configuration items. Gaining access to the GUI can be done by double-clicking on the executable file.
Simplistic looks
[Auto]Process Blocker reveals a clean and minimalist design that allows you to tweak the configuration options in a short amount of time. There’s no support for a help manual, but you can set up the dedicated parameters on your own.
Block Window startup entries
The application offers you the possibility to disable a Windows startup entry by simply entering the name of the target process (you need to check the name of the process via the Task Manager in order to type it accurately) or pasting the information from the clipboard. Plus, you are given the freedom to re-enable startup programs.

All in all, [Auto]Process Blocker has to offer nothing more than basic features for helping you handle Windows startup processes, and is suitable especially for rookies.
