Quick Fixes To Make Windows Boot Faster

If you’re like most computer users, then you are using the Windows operating system. It is by far the most popular computer operating system on the market. There are several different flavors of Windows, but they each have one thing in common which users all experience. The longer you on a Windows machine, the slower it will get in booting up. If this has happened to you, don’t fret because here are some quick fixes that you can use to make Windows boot faster.

One program to native to the Windows OS which will be turned on from the factory is called Windows Automatic Indexing. This program keeps track of what types of files you have on your computer and where they are located. It is designed to help you find files much quicker than just browsing through your folders. The downside is that it can seriously slow down your computer when you go to boot it up. Try turning Automatic Indexing off to get a needed boost in starting up your machine.

Unless you are a designer, you may not need a lot of fonts on your computer. Some people like to make fancy emails, so they collect fonts. Every font you have in your Fonts folder has to load upon starting, so if you have a lot of them, it is costing you in boot time. Go through your fonts, and weed out those you don’t need to speed up the font load time.

Over the course of time, new files will be written to your hard drive from the Internet and from installing programs from CD-ROMs. When a program is uninstalled from your hard drive, it can leave a gap in data. These gaps are then later filled in by other files and programs written to the hard drive. This causes data to be scattered across the hard drive, and when the datable longs to a program in the Startup folder, it can cause slower boot up time. The answer to this problem is simply defragging your hard drive

Whether you know it or not, your computer has a lot of junk files which take up space. Not only in the data section of your hard drive, but also in the boot sector. Once you uninstall a program there may be remnants of files left in the registry. These files will be loaded, even though they are not really being used. Therefore it is important to run the Disk Cleanup program found in System Tools. It will help remove unwanted files in the registry and in the Temporary Internet Files folder.

Finally, if you want your computer to run faster in every way, you should install more RAM. You will get more bang for your buck in the way of performance by taking this one simple step. You can make Windows boot faster by using these tips and tweaks.
