    The tool you're referring to is likely BootRacer, Autoruns, or Process Monitor, which are popular for analyzing startup and shutdown processes. Here are some options to achieve detailed information:

    1. BootRacer: Tracks and displays startup details, including load times for each program.
    2. Autoruns (from Sysinternals): Provides an in-depth view of startup items and allows you to manage or disable unnecessary programs.
    3. Event Viewer: Built into Windows, it logs detailed information on startup and shutdown events.
      • Open Event Viewer and navigate to Windows Logs > System.
      • Filter for Event IDs:
        • 6005: System startup.
        • 6006: System shutdown.
    4. Performance Monitor: Use the built-in Performance Monitor for advanced startup diagnostics:
      • Run perfmon /report to generate a detailed system performance report, including startup processes.

    Any of these tools should help you monitor and troubleshoot startup/shutdown behaviors!
