Multi-boot management tool for PC

Boot-US is a free utility program for PC created by developer Ulrich Straub. It is a universal boot manager tool that helps users to easily switch between operating systems. It makes it simple for them to manage different OS installations on the same computer regardless of which storage device they're located.

Boot-US essentially works the same way as other boot managers like EasyUEFI or EasyBCD. What makes it stand out is the fact that it can handle any number of OS installations, on any drive, as well as some open-source operating systems powered by Linux, for example.

Any OS under the sun

Boot-US is a lightweight and easy-to-use boot manager that can be used from inside Windows. When you first open it, it will immediately scan all drives for any OS that might be installed on them, and present everything in a simple and detailed list. From there, pick the drive you want to manage, and get options like setting boot priority, adding security passwords, adding a startup sound, and many more.

One of the standout features in Boot-US is that it virtually supports all types of operating systems, from Windows to macOS, and even some open-source distributions based on Linux. Partitions can be freely added, deleted, or modified as needed. Once you get used to using it, you can run in Stealth Mode and just trigger it via a hotkey whenever you need it.

Other extras include the option to generate reports in text format and the ability to use the tool from a command line if you wish. Now, while it can detect whether a drive has an installed OS or not, it doesn't always get the details right. There are some instances when it would provide the wrong name or version number for a particular operating system.

One tool to manage them all

If you're the type of user who has multiple OS installations on your PC and are looking for an easy way to switch between them, Boot-US can help you out. It's fast and lightweight, it supports virtually all kinds of operating systems, and it offers some nice management options to round out the package. Recommended.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
