We will introduce two things that we must do when using a computer. We usually ignore these two seemingly small operations when starting and shutting down a computer, however, it is something we have to do, and many friends complain about how slow my computer boot will be, and it will take a long time to shut down, is there a computer problem, or the hardware configuration on the computer is insufficient, or the installation of too many applications affects the shutdown efficiency. Actually, we can change Windows 7 to improve the efficiency of power-on and shutdown.
Optimized boot speed
The boot speed of Windows 7 has been greatly improved compared with the previous versions. However, you need to note that Windows 7 only uses one Processor The current computer is mostly a multi-core processor. Increasing the number of kernels used to start can immediately reduce the boot time. Let's take a look at the specific settings. Click Start. In the search box, enter msconfig and click OK ".
On the "System Configuration" Page, select "Boot"
Select "advanced options"
We can see that the system uses a processor for processing by default, which will waste our hardware. Resources Of course, we can change the settings later.
Select "Number of processors" and "maximum" Memory . We can make changes as needed. Save the changes and restart the computer to take effect.
In addition to changing the hardware configuration resources, we can also make some settings. Where can we start? We turn on the "service" option of the computer. You can see that all the service options of our computer are covered here. Let's take a look at the "Startup type ", various services have different startup types, some of which are "Manual"-manually started as needed. "Automatic"-automatic start after startup. "Automatic (delayed startup)"-Automatic startup is not started at startup, but is started slowly after the system is started, this option helps us achieve Automatic startup without affecting the startup time. So what I want to introduce to you is that we can not affect system startup, the service that can be started later can be changed to shorten the boot time.
So how can we change it? Right-click the service we want to change and choose "properties". In the "launch type" box, click the drop-down arrow and select "automatic (delayed startup, save it.
After the above two settings, I believe that the boot speed can be improved accordingly. Next we will introduce the shutdown speed.
Optimize shutdown speed
The first thing to note is that we need to perform some Unconventional Operations to optimize the shutdown speed. Because we need Modify the registry and back up before modificationHard DiskData. AsServerDo not modify this registry on the computer. The content of this registry is the maximum waiting time for Force shutdown. During this time, the system waits for allProgramAll are saved or closed, but if it exceeds the time limit, the system will not wait, directly execute the shutdown command, interrupt the unresponded program, and force shutdown.
Click Start-run and enter regedit and click OK to open the registry.
Find this key value'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ control'
Right-click 'waittokillservicetimeout' to change the value to a very low value. The default value is 12000 (12 seconds). This is the time windows waits for the process to end at shutdown, if you do not want to wait, you can change the time value to a smaller value.
Click "OK" after the modification is completed based on your needs. Note that you need to restart your computer to make the modification take effect.
The above are some small insights I have provided to you on how to optimize the computer boot and shutdown time, hoping to help you.
