Does
your computer take too long to start up?
If
your PC is taking too long to boot, it’s probably because you have too many
programs running at startup. Reducing the number of programs the run at startup
is an easy fix, and it will make your PC launch noticeably faster. To change the items running at startup:
1.
Go to Run using the hotkey Windows
key + R
2.
Type msconfig
3.
A small window will appear- select
the Startup tab
4.
From here you will be able to turn
off many startup programs, which can shave several seconds (or minutes) off of your
boot time. (Note: Windows 8 has moved this functionality to the Task Manager).
**Be
sure to research what you are thinking of turning off, as some processes might
be needed by third party programs or drivers you have installed**
