If you’re wondering “how to make my computer boot up faster“, you really only need to look as far as what programs are starting up when you computer is turned on.

To make your computer boot up faster, you don’t have to wave a magic wand, or even hire an expensive tech.  Instead, you could learn a bit about the way programs start up in your computer and see if there is a way you could eliminate them from stating to make your computer boot up much faster.

The first place I generally look to see if I can eliminate unnecessary startup items that will slow down your computer is in the system configuration utility.  The “startup” tab has most of the programs that are starting in your computer when it starts up – you can simply disable a few of these useless items, reboot and enjoy a much faster boot the next time your computer starts!

You will also want to look at the services tab to see if there is any services that are non-essential to the normal operation of your computer that you can disable.  If you find anything there, you can also disable those and note the increase in your computers performance the next time it starts.

Forcing Windows to Boot into safemode first, then disabling items in the system configuration utility will also increase your chances of successfully disabling from re-enabling itself.

The point is that you don’t have to be a genius to make your computer start up faster, you just have to know that the speed at which your computer loads is proportionate to how many programs are starting up.

There are, however, other factors, such as viruses and malware that can cause your computer to bog down when it’s starting, but many times these types of threats need to be handled much differently than through the system configuration utility included in windows.

You can also uninstall old and useless programs to free up hard disk space – this won’t necessarily improve your start times by a considerable amount, but it will make your PC less cluttered and free up room for new programmed files you will be storing on your computer in the future.

Another popular belief is that by defragmenting your hard drive, you will have a considerable boost in performance, including start up times, however, this is simply not as true as it once was.  You see, since newer, faster hard drives have infiltrated the market, the need to defrag a computer is being bottled necked by the speed that hard drive can transmit data when it is required.  I’m not saying that defragging your computer won’t help, just that it isn’t as effective as it was in the year 2000!
