Microsoft officially claimed that under the same hardware configuration, Windows 7 system startup speed is 20% faster than Vista, and Microsoft has achieved a fast 15 second startup, so the official Windows 7 startup speed may be very fast. But netizens who have used beta, RC, RTM and other versions of Windows 7 know that it is impossible to be so fast! What is the reason? In addition to the two irresistible main factors of hardware aging and virus erosion, is there any reason for the setup? What should we do to speed up the system?
First, meet the recommended hardware configuration required level
To smooth running Windows 7, Microsoft's official recommended configuration is:
install 64-bit CPU processor 1G HZ or above, Memory 2GB and above, hard disk 20GB and above, graphics card support WDDM 1.0 or higher, these are the recommended configuration of the hardware, if your hardware can not meet this level, then running Windows 7 is naturally very slow. To speed up the system, only upgrade the computer hardware first.
two, streamline the system, to reduce unnecessary procedures and StartUp
. 1, to reduce the random start entry
random start entry, directly in the "Start Menu" - & gt Enter "msconfig" in "Run", switch to the Startup tab in the pop-up window, disable those unwanted startup projects, generally we only run one input method and anti-virus software.
2, to reduce the display time boot Windows 7
"Start menu" - & gt; input msconfig "Run", the pop-up window to switch to the Boot tab, bottom right, Start waiting time, the default is 30 seconds, generally can be shortened, such as 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and so on.
Select the advanced option "Advanced options...", then another setting window will pop up, check "Number of processors" in the drop-down menu to select according to your computer configuration, now dual-core is more common, Of course, there are also 4 cores and 8 cores.
3, to speed up Windows 7 shutdown speed
above talked about how to speed up Windows 7 boot speed, since the start-up time can be reduced, corresponding to the same can reduce the shutdown time. This modification needs to be done in the registry.
Operation method: Or type "regedit" at the system start menu to enter the registry manager, and then find the key value "HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE - SYSTEM - CurrentControlSet - Control", right click on "WaitToKillServiceTimeOut "Modify the value to very low, generally the default is 12000 (representing 12 seconds). This is the time when Windows waits for the process to end when shutting down. If you don't want to wait, you can change this time value to any value. Any value can be modified. You also need to restart your computer to take effect.
4, Window change more quickly
Windows 7 brilliant effect is indeed beautiful, but beautiful results you need to take speed to exchange, so if you want to switch individual windows in Windows7 more Fast, after closing the window's maximum and minimized animation effects, you will find that the window switches faster.
methods of operation: First, start menu, type in Windows7 "SystemPropertIEsPerformance", and then find the (Visual Effects) visualization label, remove the check point where the "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximising" option determines is complete.
5, delete those changes more than superfluous font
Some users may be a bit afraid to start, but this is an action that you absolutely do not hesitate. Fonts in Windows systems, especially TrueType default fonts, will consume a portion of the system resources. You just need to keep the fonts you need every day, and the rest is not useful for you.
Operation method: Open the control panel to find the font folder (the path address is Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsFonts), and then you can move the fonts that you do not need to use frequently to another temporary folder that is backed up. So that you can easily retrieve it later when you want to use it. Remind everyone that if you feel that you will not use these fonts again, you don't have to back up them. You can uninstall them completely. In short, the more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you are freeing, and the overall performance of the Windows 7 system is of course improved.
6, faster task bar preview
methods of operation: Still type "regedit" command press Enter to open the registry, and then look for the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the Start menu - Software- —Microsoft?Windows——CurrentVersion——Explorer——Advanced”, right click on the advanced setting “Advanced”, then select “New DWord”, enter “ThumbnailLivePrevIEwHoverTime” value, right click and select “Modify” to modify, below You can select the decimal counting system and enter a new value in milliseconds. For example, if you enter 200, it means 0.2 seconds. In short, you can set it according to the speed you want. After confirming, you need to restart the computer to take effect.
7, prohibit Aero theme Aero theme
Windows 7 system provided is also occupied system resources, if you want faster system speed number, it is not necessary to use this theme.
Operation method: Right click on the desktop and select "Personalise" attribute and then select "Window Color" tab, then do not check "Enable Transparency", click "Open classic appearance propertIEs for more color options", then Just pick a standard theme and you're done.
8, Hidden Windows 7 service items
Windows 7 operating system, some of the service items will take up too much memory, if you do not use these services is wasted system resources. But I don't want you to disable these services. After all, you may need to use them at some time. The best way is to be able to fully understand the settings after each service, which may be difficult for the computer's primary users, it is recommended to give up this optimization, but the master can try.
Operation method: Open the control panel of Windows 7, click "Administrative Tools" and then select "Services". Right click on each service to set it up. Please be careful with this operation. It is best to listen to Windows suggestions.
