After each run AppTimer will close the application in an automated fashion, before restarting it again.
3] Windows Boot Timer
Windows Boot Timer loads itself into memory when you start your computer and measures total system boot time. After all system processes have loaded, the utility removes itself from the system memory and displays the total boot time. No installation is required. All you need to do is double-click on the executable & upon restart; it will display the time taken by your computer to load windows. It does not count the time taken to go through BIOS or BIOS boot up a password.
4] Soluto
Soluto will not only measure your boot time but also help you optimize boot time further. It employs innovative low-level Windows kernel technologies to identify what users are asking their PC to do, and what their PC does in return. It can delay the loading of programs or services that aren’t necessary when the computer is booting and readying itself for use. This way, such programs and services are launched a little later, thus making your computer that much earlier and ready for you to use.
5] Boot Analyzer
