Win8 new function System startup time speed up and then improve

Beijing time on September 9th news, according to Winrumors report, Microsoft once again disclosed another new feature of Win8: Win8 system startup time to speed up, reduce energy consumption.

Microsoft has been working hard to improve the startup time of Windows systems, and Windows 8 may start faster. Windows startup time is a basic measure and a topic that is widely discussed.

Microsoft Gabe Aul track record in the blog, & ldquo; we all know, the system starts for the user is a very important part. “

Microsoft said that 57% of desktop users and 45% of laptop users use the computer, usually turning off the machine instead of putting the system to sleep. The challenge for Microsoft is to design a Windows 8 boot that achieves zero watts of power consumption; when the user presses the power button on the PC, a new boot (including the fast boot) zone is created.

Gabe Aul said, & ldquo; When designing Win7, we have made many improvements in the startup path, including device drivers in parallel initialization and trigger the start of the service, but it is clear that if we want to improve Startup performance to meet all needs, the final opinion is not uniform. ”

Microsoft designed Win8 shutdown to close the user session and let the kernel hibernate. This reduces the amount of data, which reduces the amount of sleep mode writes to disk, making it faster to read and recover the amount of data. Microsoft has tested various system features and claims that it is 30-70% faster than most test systems. AUL explains: Speed ​​is faster because the hibernation system session is less than system initialization.

The new boot mode will benefit HDD or SSD systems, but Aul admits that using SSDs is simply amazing. ” Microsoft will demonstrate this feature in the Universal Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) system. Microsoft also built an option to restore the standard Win7 shutdown/cold boot behavior in the UI.

Microsoft will introduce Windows 8 to the world at the BUILD conference next week.
