NoBloat Launch Control brings apps, Registry entries, scheduled tasks, startup folders, and services into one understandable map with reversible controls.
The beta is distributed as a portable ZIP. The application requests elevated access only when a selected action requires it.
Undo any startup changes you want restored before deleting Launch Control’s safety data.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\NoBloatTools\LaunchControl. This contains settings, activity history, scan snapshots, and disabled Startup-folder files.Registry and service backups are stored under Software\NoBloatTools\LaunchControl\Disabled in the applicable Windows registry hive. Re-enable affected entries in the app before manually deleting backup records.
The goal is visibility and control, not automatic cleanup or aggressive recommendations.
Review startup applications, Registry entries, scheduled tasks, folders, and automatic services together.
See publisher, scope, command, and location details before deciding whether to act.
Persistent configuration backups and activity history support one-click reversal of changes.
Recognized Microsoft components and security services remain protected from casual changes.
The stable asset URL always targets the official latest release in the NoBloatTools repository.
Portable, self-contained Windows x64 release.
Released July 10, 2026.
The release workflow prints a SHA256 hash before upload. The exact value must be copied from the official GitHub release description.
Compare the result against the SHA256 value published with the matching GitHub release. A filename alone is not proof that a third-party copy is authentic.
The current beta documents where Windows policy or privilege boundaries can affect behavior.
Windows may show an Unknown Publisher or SmartScreen warning because this beta is not code signed.
Scheduled-task discovery uses the built-in Get-ScheduledTask command. If local policy blocks it, Registry, Startup-folder, and service results still load.
Current-user scans and review can run normally, while protected or system-wide changes may require elevation.
Disabling a service changes its future startup behavior. Launch Control does not terminate the service’s current process.
The Beta 1 checklist covers every supported startup source and the reversible-control model.
Registry Run keys, Startup folders, scheduled tasks, and automatic services.
Disable, re-enable, and undo for current-user Registry and Startup-folder items.
System-wide toggles request Administrator mode when required.
Recognized Microsoft tasks, Windows services, and security components cannot be casually toggled.
Search, filters, accents, density, window presets, free resizing, F11, Escape, and activity undo.
The current information model emphasizes discovery counts, review context, and explicit user decisions.
Startup configuration is sensitive. Review before changing, keep backups, and report anything that looks wrong.
The beta is not code signed. Use only the official NoBloatTools website or GitHub release page. Do not download repackaged copies from file mirrors.
Decisions stay with the user.
No. Its purpose is to present Windows startup sources clearly and provide reversible controls. The user chooses what to change.
Some system-wide Registry entries, scheduled tasks, and services are protected by Windows. Elevated permission may be required when a selected action affects those locations.
The application is designed around persistent backups, activity history, and one-click undo. Keep the application’s backup data until you are satisfied with the result.

Support helps fund testing, code signing, hosting, and maintenance without advertising or data monetization.
