Make Windows boot up faster – Learn how

February 8th, 2010

Don’t you just love sitting there every morning watching the Windows logo as you are waiting for your PC to boot up? This has to be one of the most annoying issues with Windows and as a tech, one of the most common questions people ask me is…. “How can I make my computer start up faster!”.

Well today I am going to show you how to fix  slow boot up problem!

One on the main reasons why  windows does take so long to boot up is due to the windows registry. You see all programs that are installed in you PC have entries in you registry. When a software package is uninstalled or it also gets removed from the registry. However, if the entry in not successfully removed or I’d the registry entry becomes damaged or invalid, this will cause your PC to boot up slower as windows is trying to find or access these invalid or missing entries.

The easy solution is to install and run a  free registry cleanup software application over your PC.This will “weed out” or remove these missing or invalid registry entries, so windows won’t go looking for them during bootup,resulting in a faster windows boot up process!

There are many free windows registry cleaners around, but  I recommend

Glary Registry Repair and Tweak Now Powerpack“. These are both found on CNET Download.com.

If you are after a simple registry repair and optimiser then Glary Registry Repair is the one to use.
It is easy to download and install, has a simple interface and features simple “Scan” and “Repair” buttons, which do the trick.

If you are after the ultimate on free registry repair and optimization then Tweek Now Powerpack is the one to choose.
It has many features to help optimise your PC including Quick Tuneup, Disk Cleaner,Registry Defragmentation and a Start up manager.

The are both 100% free software applications, and to get the best performance from your PC, you should run them on a monthly basis.

So download and run either of these utilities now,  get windows to boot faster today.
