Let your Win8 speed boot method summary

BIOS to enable Fast Boot function:

The boot time of the BIOS will affect the boot speed, you need to detect various hardware devices (memory, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc. Etc. …) They all need to go through a series of searches, confirmations, startups, etc., so they will consume some time.

So Microsoft designed the Fast Boot fast boot function for Win8. It is based on the UEFI architecture and improves the BIOS settings, thus shortening the computer self-test time and bringing users a faster boot process.

A lot of motherboards have been updated to support the Fast Boot fast boot function BIOS, if your motherboard is not too old, it is generally supported.

BIOS Open Fast Boot: (Boot – Boot Settings Configuration – Quick Boot [Enabled]) Different models of motherboards, settings may vary.

Ultra Fast mode has the fastest self-test, but there are more restrictions. The first is to need a UEFI Win8 system. When installing the system, it is necessary to consider using the UEFI interface to install, otherwise the function cannot be used. (If your motherboard supports UEFI Boot mode, the prerequisite is that you must convert the disk to GPT partition and reinstall the system.)

Hard disk 4K alignment startup speed is greatly improved:

For mechanical hard disk Many people's thoughts should be: not SSD, what 4K is aligned? Does the mechanical hard disk need to be aligned with 4K? Earlier, Win8 fans released the last drop of the dried mechanical hard drive: Align 4K to improve performance, many users aligned 4K After that, Win8 starts up a lot faster.

Note: After the hard disk 4K is aligned, it can reduce the disk usage by 100%.

Enable Hybrid Boot:

Hybrid Boot is a new addition to Win8 that enables Windows 8 ultra-fast boot. The basic principle of Hybrid Boot is hibernation. The core file, the kernel dialog to be closed is saved to the hiberfil.sys file, and the memory is directly written back from hiberfil.sys at the next boot, thereby improving the system startup speed. Hybrid Boot not only greatly increases the system startup speed, but also saves sleep. The power consumption at the time.

Hybrid Boot is enabled by default: if it is not enabled, press Win+i shortcut – control panel – power option – select power button function – change currently unavailable settings – Setting – Check Enable Quick Start (Recommended)

If you turn off the system hibernation function, you can't use the Hybrid Boot function, re-open the method: shortcut key Win+X, command prompt (admin) powercfg -hibernate on

Close the system startup screen, increase the speed

Shortcut Win+ R – Enter msconfig – Boot & ndash; Check no GUI boot, OK, restart Effective. It can usually be reduced by about 1 second.

Turn off unnecessary startup projects:

Reduce unnecessary startup projects for the system: Taskbar Manager – Start – Close Unnecessary startup projects. Or you can optimize the software through optimization: Win8 optimization master, CCleaner, and so on. (Do not over-optimize)

I will tell you that a certain number, a guard, a housekeeper, the starting speed will be much faster~ The starting speed is subject to the calculation.

Summary:

With the above settings, your Win8 startup speed will definitely fly. If you want to boot at a very fast speed, then you need a motherboard + SSD high-speed solid state drive that supports UEFI BIOS boot. It can be said that after pressing the power button, the user can start the platform with a blink of an eye.

Note: Software using Ramdisk (memory virtual hard disk) will affect Win8 boot speed.
