It is clear nobody wants an operating system that is sluggish at booting and starting up. The time it takes any system to load necessary system files depends on several factors. They range from the condition of the processor through the random access memory to the hard disk drive. There are two processes which are often overlooked when trying to fix the slow nature of an operating system boot-up. They are the boot and the start-up processes. These two formidable parts of Windows operating system have to be encountered and passed before you are finally taken to your desktop.
While it's necessary to have fast booting operation it doesn't make any different if the system has to load too many programs at start-up thereby reducing the amount of time it could have taken the system to boot up. When something of this nature happens there are steps which need to be taken in bringing back the computer to start up at the normal time required according to its capacity to function.
