None of these working? try a fresh install or install Linux :) still no good? upgrade your computer.

1:16 to 1:21. This also resolves common problems with getting a storage drive that you use as an external plug n play storage drive between Windows and a LInux distro not normally showing up/auto mounting in Linux too ( I keep those types of drives formatted to exFat for ultimate plug n play usage)

Omg, thanks so much. I bought my pc like 5 months ago and like 2 months ago it started to slowly start up. Now it takes like 5sec. You deserve way more subscribers! ;)

Two things I feel missing from this, a mention of a Windows 10 debloat script and (to a lesser extent) setting certain services to be automatic delayed. Other than that, the prime things to speed up Win 10 booting is to remove non essential programs from the startup and adding an SSD (those two things you do mention).

What would you recommend for when my computer shows in the virtual memory "Recommended: 1913MB, Currently allocated: 8192MB?

My laptop running Windows 10 takes 10 minutes to boot. That's why I'm here.

I always forget how to fix the virtual mem settings. Tanks again and for next time too.

Hope these help, my computer takes about 8 minutes to go from power on to useable desktop.

I'm the laziest Windows user possible. I've literally done in-place upgrade with my current desktop since Windows 8.0 . Amazingly it hasn't slowed down much if at all over the years. That might be partially because I've also just been cloning my C drive when it gets full, I started with a 256GB SSD and now I'm on a 1 TB drive. The larger drives always benchmark much faster than the smaller sizes. I use Macrium Reflect usually but I've also used the Samsung cloning utility which is also effective and free. I feel like I should update but my old Intel 3820 i7 still runs fine albeit a bit loud. Is it worth upgrading? Light gaming and photo editing works fine. Besides I have a lifetime licence to Malwarebytes which is no long available, and obviously I'm cheap. I also use Sysinternals Autoruns to edit my startup programs.

Another very handy and useful video Brian. Thanks Don

Thanks for this tipps! But on my system the biggest "slow boot" problem are the hard drives. Windows is running on a SSD but all the rest of data is on regular hard drives via SATA III. If I unplug all the hard drives except the Windows SSD, the boot time is about 20-30 sec but with the hard drives its about 2-3 minutes. Do you know a setting which boot the hard drives right after the start from Windows?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks dude your legit may 2mins start up now 12sec. Thanks man

[pistonpilot]

You should make the swap file size the same. Otherwise it constantly fragments. Write it out once, max and min are same size, and it's done.

[hambaallah]

Thank you so much. I follow all your steps. My startup works faster than before.

[taomahNEGEV]

As far as I know it is not recommended to turn on fast start up/hibernate for dual boot systems. Thoughts?

[jeanhawks]

I love your desktop backgrounds...can you tell me where you got them please?

[Lachlan_McDougall]

biggest changes for me was secure boot as CSM should do a video on those changed from 20 seconds to 7 seconds BIOS time for me

[sladjanavukasinovic]

Question about hibernate on/off somebody said that is only for loptops and not desktops? Also a question about the ryzen 5 2600 I feel that it needs a better cooler for slight overclock, or should I go for 2600X? Thank you
