Slow computer boot? 4 Methods to Fix a Slow Computer Startup Problem in a Few Seconds
Is your computer taking a long time to complete the startup procedure? Don’t worry! The following provides you with 4 methods to shorten the computer startup procedure.
(1) Stop those unnecessary programs and optional Windows components at startup:
Your computer will take much longer to complete the startup procedure with more and more programs installed. Many programs will be added to Startup, which means your computer should run them immediately when you start the computer. In that way, your boot speed of your computer will definitely slow down. In such a case, you can follow these steps to remove the unnecessary startup programs: Start -> Run -> type MSConfig in the dialog box and then press Enter key -> select Startup option -> Disable those unnecessary startup programs and Windows optional. components -> Restart your computer.
(2) Disable unnecessary services:
There are many programs and services that are imported into system memory to control system functions. But some of those services are useless for us as they take up a lot of memory and system resources. If we disable them, we can save 70MB memory at most and then your system speed will increase accordingly. You can realize the point by following steps: Start -> Run -> type services.msc -> disable those unnecessary services.
(3) Modify registry entries to reduce progress bar timeout:
We will see a progress bar on Startup and we can speed it up by modifying registry entries. You can follow these steps: Start -> Run -> type regedit -> change the key value of EnablePrefetcher located in the path “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters” to “1”.
(4) shorten the waiting time to scan the disk:
When the Windows registry has abnormal computer shutdown record, the system will automatically scan the disk. By default, the computer will wait 10 seconds before scanning each subregion. Then it will cost you a lot of time and we can cancel the waiting time for scanning. To complete the process, you can follow these steps: Start -> Run -> type chkntfs /t:0 and then press the Enter key.
