Overview
StartupStar is a software program developed by Abelssoft GmbH. The most common release is 8.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named startupstar.exe. The setup package generally installs about 34 files and is usually about 7.14 MB (7,483,274 bytes). The installed file AbUpdater.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 75% of users of StartupStar come from Germany, it is also popular in the United States and Netherlands.
