How to delay the start of a service?

I see the option but how do I delay the start for 2 minutes?

I would select "Disabled" for any service named Tweaker-anything. Actually I would Advanced-Revo it if not System Restore just because of the snail trail.

It will cost you to tweak Win7, which is perfectly balanced and only needs normal settings.

I see this app relates to cooling for overclocking. Good luck with that. Please let us know how it works with Win7 (watch your logs and charts), and I hope you get your answer for custom autostartup delays.

I know how to use the program and I am fine with it. Thank you for your concern.

I just need it to start a bit later, surely there is an easy way to accomplish this?

With Winpatrol, you can schedule any startup program right click on it and move it to delayed start. Then in Delayed Start tab, got to the Delay Start option.

I would really prefer not to install another program unless I have to.

Looking at the screenshot in the OP, I selected "Automatic (Delayed Start)" and restarted my computer. It seems there is about a one minute delay which is perfectly acceptable. I will stick this method for the time being although I wouldn't mind to know if there was an easier way (without installing a program) to input the time delay, I just kinda expected it, but it is not a big deal now.

Understand. But Winpatrol is a very useful program for many purposes. I always install it as one of the first programs on all my systems. Read the description to understand all the functions.

Use Task Scheduler tis why its there.

Supposedly if a service is set to "Automatic delayed start" then this service starts approximately 2 min after your system has logged on.

But have a looky here .... maybe this might help

create Schtasks

No big worries...you're doing the right thing.

Manies of my services are delayed without my consent and are set by windows 7 itself, this help to boot faster and i can see the services running delayed at start up, and guess windows 7 does the job fine!:)
