Eight tricks to improve system speed

Everyone wants to get into the Windows system without waiting after the computer is turned on, but for a variety of reasons, it often fails to do so, even when it starts to crash, it happens. In fact, sometimes the slow startup speed of Windows is not its own problem, but caused by some devices or software. Look at the 8 reasons for slowing down the system startup, and then check if your computer has similar problems! 1. USB hard disk and scanner devices If your computer has a scanner or other device installed, or you have connected a USB hard disk at startup, try disconnecting them first to see if the startup speed has changed. Generally speaking, because the USB interface is slow, the corresponding device will have a significant impact on the startup speed of the computer. You should try to connect the USB device after booting. If you do not have a USB device, it is recommended to turn off the USB function directly in the BIOS setup. Tip: Since each drive (including the optical drive) is detected when Windows starts up, if the disc is placed in the optical drive, it will also extend the startup time of the computer. 2. Annoying network card If the settings are not correct, the network card will also obviously affect the system startup speed. If your computer does not need a network card, then directly remove the network card, so as not to affect the system startup speed. If your computer is connected to the LAN, after installing the NIC driver, the system will automatically obtain the IP address through DHCP by default, but most companies do not have a DHCP server on the LAN, so if the user is set to “ Address & rdquo;, the system will continue to search the network for DHCP server when it starts, until the IP address or timeout, it will affect the startup time, so LAN users should specify a fixed IP address for their computer. 3. File and printer sharing Some computers with Windows XP Professional will also have a very slow startup problem, even reaching 1 minute and 40 seconds! The system seems to be dead. After logging in to the system, the desktop does not appear. The computer just stops responding and can be used normally after 1 minute. This is due to the use of the Bootvis.exe program, which adds 67 seconds to the computer startup of the Mrxsmb.dll file! To solve this problem, just stop sharing folders and printers: select “start →set →network and dial-up connections", right-click “local connection", select “property"; In the window, cancel the "This connection uses the following selected components" under the "Microsoft Network File and Printer Sharing" checkbox to restart the computer. Tip: Microsoft has upgraded the Bootvis.exe file several times, and it does help a lot of Windows XP startup speed.

Disconnect unused network drives In order to eliminate or reduce the number of network connections that Windows must re-establish, it is recommended to disconnect some network drives that do not need to be used, that is, enter “My Computer”, right-click on the already established mapping. Network drive, select “disconnect” 5. There are too many hard disk partitions. If your Windows 2000 is not upgraded to SP3 or SP4 and you have too many partitions defined, it will make the startup very long and even hang. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade the latest SP4, and it is best not to divide too many areas for the hard disk. Because Windows must load each partition at startup, as the number of partitions increases, the total amount of time to complete this operation will continue to grow. 6. Too many desktop icons can cause problems. There are too many icons on the desktop to slow down the system startup. Every time Windows starts and displays the desktop, you need to find the icons of the desktop shortcuts one by one and load them. The more icons, the more time it takes. It is recommended that you put the less commonly used desktop icons in a special folder or simply delete them! Tip: Some anti-virus software provides a system startup scan function, which will take a lot of time. In fact, if you have already turned on the real-time monitoring function of anti-virus software, then the scanning system will be redundant when booting, or disable this function. Let's go! 7. Too many fonts are also dragging back Although Microsoft claims that Windows can install 1000 to 1500 fonts, in fact, we found that when there are more than 500 fonts installed, there will be problems, such as: fonts disappear from the application's font list. And the startup speed of Windows has dropped dramatically. It is recommended that you delete the fonts that are not used or are not commonly used. To avoid accidents after deletion, you can make the necessary backups first. 8. Microsoft itself "love" & rdquo; Remember that a Windows XP patch caused the system to slow down the news (for example: the code code Q328310 will cause Windows 2000/XP startup and shutdown speed is very slow, and even possible Leading to the registry lock), it is obvious that Microsoft's own internal problems are not small. If you suddenly find a system startup slow after upgrading a system patch, it is best to pay attention to whether the patch is a disaster. Br>
