One of the characteristics of a computer system is speed, so if your own computer has loses it's speed then you have a problem. In some computer cases, if i'm to boil water and power on some PC surely my water would boil even before some pc finish booting to window enviroment. The slow booting of a computer system to the window enviroment can be traced to some software which would run automatically as soon as you power on your computer which are located at the bottom right hand corner of the computer screen. This can be fixed by clicking on few things..Tnx

Steps to make pc boot faster:
(1) Click on "START BUTTON" and navigate to "run"
(2) Then type: Msconfig and click run
(3) A window will pop up then click "STARTUP"
(4) Now you would be presented with bunch of filenames and addressess and boxes with checks in them. Uncheck all the boxes(if possible) then click apply and ok.
Now the computer will ask if you will like to restart. Restart the system and the settings will kick in.
Note: You can use a software called "BOOTVis" to speed up booting automatically"

Those things are services automatically started when booting.....also don't turn everything off u might turn off a vital windows service....there should be a checkbox to show only non MS services....this could also help u track down viruses when you see an item that dosen't belong to a program you installed.

U can also remove programs that startup when booting from task manager (for windows 8 and above, it's not in the taskmaster of windows 7 and below....Google where they are )

Finally this dosen't apply to ubuntu undecided

Very true, with Ubuntu you just have to type apt-get gerrarahere!

calm down there man, don't you know that some microsoft applications runs once your computer starts up? it's not a good idea to just uncheck all the applications running because it will mess with the smooth-running of your operating system. besides that, blackberry users should be watchful cos ur blackberry drivers has been set to start-up with your operating system. if not, blackberry desktop or blackberry link will fail to detect your device. thank me later.

OP, that process, will only help in speeding up windows boot time, and not always, as it might not help the ministry of a low end system. Best bet get a stand alone PC Tuneup utility like AVG PC Tuneup 2016, it is very good in speeding up systems, as it checks not just start up programs, but other factors that might slow down your system.

pls where do I get this AVG tuneup software? I need one badly

This does not make d computer run faster! It only makes booting faster!
If u want a faster system, defrag ur hdd, clear cache files, delete irrelevant files, this software cleaner can do all that for you and lastly increase ur RAM.


What is RAM?
