Soluto is a new tech start-up based in Israel that recently won the $50000 top prize at the TechCrunch Disrupt competition in NYC. Their tool analyzes all of the applications and services that launch when you reboot your PC and presents you with a list of how long it took each item to launch. This not only helps troubleshoot when issues arise, but also helps optimize and streamline your PC so that it functions like a well-oiled machine. After just a single use, Soluto can lead to a noticeable reduction in reboot times.
Soluto’s strength is in its simplicity. The items are grouped into 3 categories: Required, Potentially removable and No-brainer. The Required items are untouchable, so you can be confident you won’t accidentally remove something that your system requires. For the other 2 categories, you will be given the option to either Pause or Delay each item. Pausing will stop the item from launching during reboot (though you will still be able to manually launch the app if needed), Delaying will force the item to launch in the background after reboot has finished, and of course, you can also just leave each item alone so that it launches normally on reboot. Each item is listed with a name and most of them also have a description so you know exactly what each item does. Additionally, Soluto tells you what percentage of other Soluto users have Paused or Delayed each item it recognizes.
This application goes a long way towards simplifying the complex and cryptic PC bootup process. It is simple enough for the average non-technical user to handle, yet capable of making a substantial impact on the user’s experience. In a way, it puts the power of a dedicated Desktop Support team in the palm of your hands. Kudos Soluto!
