Do you feel that your computer is slow when starting up?

Are you tired of waiting for the Windows operating system

to be ready, which takes a long time?

There is no need to worry about this anymore! We will provide you with a comprehensive guide of 5 proven steps to significantly speed up the startup of Windows 10 and Windows 11, which will eliminate your boredom and give you a fast operating system without waiting.

Follow the steps below and you will notice that you have a rocket-fast device in a few seconds!

1-Activate a secret feature called “Fast Startup”

The Fast Startup feature in Windows combines two essential features at the same time: hibernation and startup. Many people overlook it, even though it is a magical solution for speeding up the startup of your device.

How to activate Fast Startup?

Go to the Control Panel.

Find Power Options.

From the side menu, click on Choose what the power buttons do.

Then click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.

Check the box next to “Turn on fast startup (recommended)” and save the changes.

2- Stop programs from starting up

Many programs and applications automatically allow themselves to run when the system starts up, which slows down the system at the beginning. We must stop unnecessary programs from running at startup to free the system from restrictions and get good results!

Here's how:

Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc

From the menu, go to Startup

Check the programs that are running in the background and uncheck the boxes next to non-essential programs, such as cloud storage programs, file format conversion programs, and others.

3-Clean and optimize your hard drive.

With frequent use of the computer and the length of time the system is running, temporary files are continuously stored, in addition to cookies from websites when browsing. This affects the overall performance of the device and its speed in particular, so the disk or hard drive must be cleaned of these unnecessary files periodically to maintain the health and safety of your device and keep it running smoothly!

Steps to clean your hard drive of unnecessary files!

From the Start menu, search for Disk Cleanup.

Select the drive where the system is located, which is usually the C: drive, and click OK.

Select all the unnecessary file types you want to delete (such as “Temporary files”, “Recycle Bin”, “Temporary Internet Files”) and click OK to confirm the deletion.

Next, the other part of the task is defragmentation.

Go to the Start menu again and search for Defragment and Optimize Drives.

Select the same partition c: and click OK. This is necessary for HDD hard drives and has no value for SSD hard drives.

4- Update the definitions on the system

Outdated definitions and outdated system definitions can cause significant system slowdowns, so be sure to regularly obtain the latest versions of the definitions.

To update, follow these steps

Go to Start, search for Device Manager, and check the definitions of your cards, such as the sound card, video card, and network card, which are the most important basic definitions.

To update Windows: Go to Settings, then Update & Security, then Windows Update. Make sure the latest updates for the operating system are installed.

5-Manage unnecessary services: to reduce the load on the system.

There are many services in Windows that run in the background, some of which are essential and necessary for Windows to function, while others are unnecessary and not used by most people.

You can disable unnecessary services by following these steps:

Press Windows + R to open the Run window, then type msconfig and press Enter.

Go to Services.

First, you must take this important step, which is to check the Hide all Microsoft services option so that you do not disable services that are necessary for the system to function.

You can now review the remaining services and disable those that you know are unnecessary for you (such as third-party software services that you do not use). Be careful and do not disable a service whose function you do not know.

Important tips:

Replace your HDD hard disk with an SSD, which is 10 times faster than the old hard disk.

Also, try deleting the Temp files by typing %temp% in the Run menu, selecting the files by pressing ctrl+a, and deleting them permanently by pressing shift+delete. Also delete the Prefetch files by going to partition C: Go to the Windows folder, search for the folder, and delete all the files inside it, as this will speed up the system during use.

Conclusion:

Once you apply these five effective steps, you will notice a dramatic improvement in the speed of your Windows startup. Now enjoy a device that starts up in the blink of an eye and saves you time and effort. Try these solutions now and share your experience with us!
