What WhatInStartup is

WhatInStartup is a Windows utility for viewing and managing programs that load when Windows starts. Its Freeware plan lets users see startup programs, enable or disable startup items, delete them, and export them. These actions give users a focused set of controls for changing which listed programs load at startup.

WhatInStartup is offered as a desktop deployment for Windows, with Windows-only platform coverage. It also has a command-line interface. The pricing model is free, and the named Freeware plan has no price listed. The entry identifies WhatInStartup as its maker and gives 2001 as the maker’s founding year.

For a Windows user looking for a utility with those specific controls, WhatInStartup brings them together in one desktop program, with command-line access also available.
