Overview
Start Menu X version 5.02 is a software program developed by OrdinarySoft. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The programs's main executable is startmenux.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 16.71 MB of memory. The setup package generally installs about 15 files and is usually about 15.94 MB (16,717,913 bytes). 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 46% of users of Start Menu X come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and United Kingdom.
