A device includes a storage unit configured to store programs; a start-up status storing unit; and a start-up management unit configured to perform a start-up process for each of the programs during start-up of the device, and record information indicating status of the start-up process in the start-up status storing unit in association with identification information of each of the programs. If information indicating that the start-up process has not been previously completed is present in the start-up status storing unit, the start-up management unit limits the programs to be started. |
