The boot time of the operating system increases over time. Download speed is affected by the power of the computer, the degree of fragmentation of files on the disk, and the loading of drivers for numerous services and applications. Optimization of some of these points will significantly increase the speed of Windows loading.
Necessary
- - Windows XP;
- - Windows 7;
- - CCleaner;
- - BootVis.
Instructions
Step 1
Use the free CCleaner utility to clean your system of temporary files and junk in the system registry.
Step 2
Press the "Start" button to bring up the main menu and go to "Programs" to perform the operation of defragmenting information on the disk.
Step 3
Open the "Standard" section and select "Service".
Step 4
Run the "Defragment Disk" command. Select the disk to defragment and click the Defragment button.
Step 5
Return to the Start menu and go to Run to disable unnecessary applications and services from autostart.
Step 6
Enter msconfig in the search bar and click OK.
Step 7
Select the Services and Startup tabs. Uncheck the boxes for unnecessary services and click Apply. Reboot your system.
Step 8
Use the BootVis tool to speed up boot times by an order of magnitude. Open the application and select Optimize system from the Trace menu.
Step 9
Wait for the end of the reboot and the appearance of an information window about the completion of the optimization process.
Step 10
Activate unused processor cores to reduce system boot time. By default, the single-core boot scheme is used, even if there are multiple processor cores (for Windows 7).
Step 11
Return to the Start menu and go to Run.
Step 12
Enter msconfig in the Open field and click OK to confirm the command.
Step 13
Select the "Download" tab and make sure that the cursor is positioned opposite the current operating system (if there are several existing ones). Click the More Options button.
