Versions:
BootRacer by Greatis Software is a lightweight Windows utility in the System Monitoring category that measures how long a PC takes to reach a usable desktop and then pinpoints which auto-start applications are delaying the process. After installation the program inserts itself into the Windows boot sequence, records the time from power-on to log-on and again to full desktop readiness, and then generates a detailed report that lists every startup entry together with its individual impact in seconds. System administrators and home users deploy the tool to establish a baseline before hardware upgrades, to validate the effect of BIOS tweaks, or to identify resource-heavy antivirus scanners, cloud-sync clients, and updaters that can be safely delayed or disabled. The single-version product line is currently represented by BootRacer 9.40.2025.902, released in early 2025, which maintains compatibility with Windows 7 through Windows 11 and adds refinements to the detection engine for modern UEFI fast-boot environments. Because the utility only observes and reports without altering the registry or disabling services itself, it serves as a non-intrusive diagnostic aid that can be run repeatedly to track improvements or regressions over time. Reports can be exported as TXT or CSV files for benchmarking fleets of identical machines, and a history graph visualizes trend lines across weeks or months of measurements. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
