How to make your PC boot faster - easy tips for fast loading
159Hello this is the Provoked Prawn with some simple tips to help you get your PC to boot faster. You may well find that there are some settings you've missed that are causing it to take a while to load, so watch this video to find out what you can change to make a difference.
The first setting to tweak is in your BIOS settings:
1 - Turn on your PC and when you see the motherboard logo mash the DEL or F2 key on your keyboard and keep mashing until you enter the bios.
2 - From there look for advanced settings, especially boot settings. Click on these settings and look for boot configuration.
3 - In these settings look for an option for FAST Boot and enable it if it is disabled. There may be other settings in different manufacturer BIOS settings. For example MSI has MSI fast boot, so look for any boot settings you can and turn those on.
4 - Next check your boot priority settings. If you have multiple SSDs or HDDs in your machine then the computer might be trying to boot up from several of these drives which can slow things down. To stop this, set your main Windows boot disk as first in the list and disable the other drives under these options if you can manage it.
Now in Windows look for start-up apps. If you've had your PC for a while and there are a lot of things installed that can really slow things down. So do this:
1 - Press CTRL+Shift+Escape on your keyboard to open Task Manager. From there look for "start up" options. On Windows 11 it's on the left menu, on Windows 10 its on the top.
2 - Filter the apps by "high impact" to see which ones might be slowing things down.
3 - Click to disable any app that you don't need loading when Windows does. This can include all sorts of things, but be careful not to disable things you aren't sure about as that can cause issues. Disable as much as possible and it will help.
Another option is to install an NVME SSD and move Windows onto it. Follow these other videos to see what's what:
