My fastest is about 25 seconds with a fresh copy of windows installed, the main programs I use, and of course after I'm done tweaking it.

This is done in that speed with a 3000+ processor.

On my other comp, with an FX-57, it takes about 10-15 seconds with all the above done.

EDIT: This is also counting from as soon as I hit the button to the time I can open a program.(if i went from BIOS to windows with no hour glass, it would be more like 20 seconds for my main comp, 10 for the other)

My laptop boots hella fast.

My main computer takes a while though. It takes some time just going through the bios screen.

I've never timed it though as that is utterly the least important thing I've ever not considered to not matter at all to anyone ever.

WOW

27 seconds is amazing.

Mine must take all of 5 minutes to load up with anti-virus software, etc etc.

I would appreciate it if anyone could post some tips and tricks for clearing my computer of all of the rubbish, and allowing it to boot up quicker.

Are there any quick tests which I can do to highlight areas which need fixing?

format c:\, nah but seriously if your PC is taking that long to boot it is time for a format. Don't install crap you don't need and disable services that you don't use.

around 2 minutes, when i press the power button this is the process

2secs: dell logo

1mini sec: blank screen

20secs: xp loading screen the moving left to right

1sec: to click on username

1min and some secs: start up items, like msn, aim, logitech webcam & mouse thingy, konfabutlator, webroot spy sweeper, quciktime. i dont know why it takes so long for simple apps, but it's alright since the sucker is used once in a while, and i always hibriate it so it wont take as long anymore

Why can't I PM you? :huh:

    • 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!
