I'm confused. What do you guys mean by "boot time"? Because some of the times are REALLY low, and I have a feeling that different people mean different things with boot time. I have a fairly modern system, and it takes a good 45-50 seconds from pressing the power button until Windows is fully loaded and ready to go. I'm curious how some people are booting in 15 seconds and such.

I mean, I defrag, I've used TuneXP, my computer is clean of malware, unneeded services and such are all disabled... All of which help, but not NEARLY enough to bring my boot time down to 10-15 seconds. Could the fast boot times be hardware related? What hardware makes for faster booting? What hardware slows booting down?

no they are just talking out of there arses.

u cant get a system with a few start-up apps loading in 15 seconds, the BIOS takes that at least, windows takes a good 5 seconds on a fresh install with 1 user, no way can u be pushing 15 seconds.

Mine on a clean nLited and optimised installed of Windows .net Server 2003 (yes I am running the Beta 3 build. It is better than RTM :p)

BIOS : 14seconds (disabled floppy / cd / dvd booting checks)

Windows : 4seconds (literally. Bootscreen and logon notifications disabled)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
