Do you feel that your computer takes couple minutes once you restart it? Its seriously boring when you have to wait in order to get access to your computer’s desktop once you reboot it, unlike television where all the TV Programs are shown instantly. In this article we are going to discuss whats the main shortcut to boost the speed of your PC startup. I had recently installed this free program on my friends computer which was taking atleast 30mins to allow us to access ‘My Computer’ because there were seriously very high number of programs set and we had to wait for each and every program to load.

Some reasons why you need to optimize this stuff :

    Disable Startup Programs

  1. When you boot your PC, it checks for all the Startup programs which should be run even without your permission and this can increase the RAM usage heavily.
  2. Programs like Antivirus, Wireless LAN management tools, External Plug & Play devices check are some of the programs which automatically start running.
  3. Most Antivirus programs instantly start a complete PC virus scanning which can drag down the overall speed of the computer.
  4. Some programs like Google Update Manager, Adobe Update Manager and all other Update Programs which come along the main programs for continiously checking for updates , run at start up and you need to make sure these are avoided atleast at the beginning.
  5. Some unknown programs which got downloaded to your PC as free applications which eat huge system resources along with continious internet.

Many people think that visiting their Startup Folder at Start > All Programs > Startup and finding all the programs there can help them up, but you will be amazed to know that there wont be even 10% programs which run at boot up shown in this Startup Folder.

Now here is the best solution for all this stuff – A advanced program which can help you manage all your Startup programs and help to get rid of all the useless stuff. Download it for free here

PC Startup Manager Tweaks

Once you install the free software which comes with a full featured 1 month trail, you need to visit the Startup Manager where all the programs which run on your PC start up are listed and you need to just click on the small option to Disable/Enable these different programs. A single click on each of these program after selecting them can help you in disabling them completely. Just make sure that before you disable any program you have got detailed information about all the programs you have disabled and the best suggestion for this would be to Google for the program name prior to disabling it to be on safe side, because in case you disable some very important program you may be risking your PC.
