Vista pop-up window and shutdown optimization

For the speed of Windows XP operating system, many of us are already very familiar with it, then the optimization for Windows Vista system must be understood by many people. Let me tell you about two Vistas below. Optimization skills.

1, speed up the window pop-up speed

Windows Vista system uses animated effects when opening the window, which will affect the speed of opening the window. For users with smaller memory, the improvement method is Turn off the animation.

Press Win+R to open the “Run” window, enter “Regedit” to run the registry, find the “HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindow Metrics” branch, find the MinAniMate key in the right window, and modify its value by 1. 0 to turn off the animation display.

2, shorten the shutdown waiting time

short the waiting time before shutting down the service

When Windows Vista executes the shutdown command, it will shut down the services still running in the computer. If a program does not stop running within the system default time, the system will force a stop operation. Before we shut down the computer, we are ready to quit, and waiting here is a waste of time.

Open the registry editor, find the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControl" branch, find the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" key in the right window, double click to modify it, adjust its value from the default 20000 (in milliseconds) to A small value, such as 5000 or even 1000, so that if Windows Vista does not receive a service shutdown signal within 5 seconds (5000) or 1 second (1000) of the setting, the system will pop up a warning window to inform the user. The service cannot be aborted and gives the option to force abort or wait for the user to wait.

Tip: WaitToKillServiceTimeout is to give a buffer time to end the service, so that the programs in the execution have enough time to write the data in the Cache before the system is closed. If you do not keep enough buffer time, the data will be lost, so it is recommended that you develop a good habit of saving files at any time.

Short wait time before closing applications and processes

Similar to waiting time before shutting down services, Windows Vista waits for the program or process itself before forcibly closing applications and processes. The time of the shutdown, only after the time limit is exceeded, the Windows system will force it to abort.

Therefore, shortening the default closing of the application or waiting time can also speed up the shutdown of Windows Vista.

Open the registry editor, find the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControl" branch, find the "HungAppTimeout" registry key in the right window, this item corresponds to the system after the user forcibly closes a process or application, if The wait time when the object does not respond. The default value is "5000", which can be changed to "1000".

Note: However, even if we set the value of "HungAppTimeout" to a small value, it does not mean that Windows Vista will automatically suspend the program or process after waiting for the time limit, and the dialog will still pop up. The box lets the user confirm whether to abort. If you feel that this method is too cumbersome, you can modify the registry key to let Windows Vista automatically interrupt the process after the waiting time limit.
