It can be annoying to wait for our computer to boot up, especially when we are in a rush. Many startup programs and services are common reasons for slow booting. Improper boot order also can be cause behind it. These are some steps we have to follow to make our PC ready to use as soon as we turn it on.
1. Mark check on option "Turn on fast startup (recommended)"
Fast Startup in Windows is a feature designed to speed up the boot process by combining elements of shutdown and hibernation. When we shutdown the PC, instead fully shutting down the system, it saves the state f the kernel and drivers t a file called hiberfil.sys and reloads it during the next boot and skipping the complete re-initialization process.
To enable Fast Startup, > go to Power Options> choose what the Power Buttons DO> check the box of "Turn on fast startup (recommended)".
2. Disable startup programs
When we install Windows or some software in our PC, automatically they got permission or unknowingly we gave permission to launch at startup. These startup applications consume system resources of memory and CPU while our PC being ready to use. Except Windows Security application, rest other applications should be disable. These unnecessary apps can slow down boot time.
To disable these apps> go to Task Manager> navigate to Startup Apps Tab> where we can see some apps are listed> then right click on them and choose disable.
3. Replace HDD to SSD
SSD (Solid-State Drive) is faster than an HDD (Hard Disk Drive ) due to fundamental design and technology. HDD uses spinning magnetic disk and a mechanical read/write head. SSD uses flash memory with no moving parts and allowing for almost instant data access. Due to physical limitation, HDD is slower than SSD. If laptop has an HDD, upgrading to an SSD will speed up Windows or any OS boot time faster.
