How does BootRacer work?

BootRacer uses BootRacer service for detecting Time to Logon. If you use any antiviral software be sure that you allow the auto starting of the BootRacer Service (BootRacerServ.exe) and BootRace.exe. BootRacer checks the CPU load during the boot time and if BootRacer detects continuous lower CPU using, BootRacer detects that the boot has been finished. Do not touch keyboard or mouse. Do not insert USB sticks or something. Simply wait for finishing boot process.
