Speed up, boot up


Recommended Posts

This is a simple little guide many of you may already know, otherwise you might learn something useful :)

Basicly I'm going to give you an idea of how to boot much faster, for all of you who lack patients like myself by stopping processes from running on boot.

Start > Run, as shown in screenshot above.

Type 'MSCONFIG', then pressing ok

stepthree.jpg

Once pressing ok, The 'general' tab shows up, so click the 'start up' tab as shown above.

Then click the processes you don't want to run on boot.

REMEMBER IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS, DON'T STOP IT FROM RUNNING ON BOOT!

Common processes which are safe to stop are the likes of...

msnmsgr

Ad-Watch

Daemon

GoogleDesktop

Nerocheck

Realplay

Just most programs which would appear in the right of your tool bar on boot ;)

Hope this helped even if it is abit simple. :D

P.S.

I had alook for a post explaining samething, If anyone esle has done this then sorry not that i could find it.

Uhh......Gee -- my ****er spaniel thanks you - heis the only one who didnt know this stuff -

As i said in the first sensetence, it's just simple and i promise you now there will be readers who shall not know this who will find it useful :)

Basic stuff, but always good to know for the n00bs.

Dont listen to the trolls in this thread... can you tell that school holidays are coming up soon :rolleyes:

    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in may areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
