Windows 7 Tips: Accelerated Boot and Shutdown Methods

Modify the system default settings to speed up the system boot and shutdown speed, which has always been a topic of interest for Windows users. Especially in the Windows XP system, because the system is very mature, the relative life is very long, the user research is relatively thorough, and there are many ways to speed up the boot and shutdown. The release time of Windows 7 is not very long. It is relatively simple and relatively simple for it to speed up the boot and shutdown.

Speed ​​up the boot:

Enter "msconfig" in "Search Programs and Files" in the Windwos 7 Start menu, press Enter to open the "System Configuration" program, and switch to the "Boot" tab. In the lower right part of the window that opens, change the default value of "30" in the "Timeout" column to a smaller number (as shown in Figure 1, this article is modified to 5).

After the modification, it means that the default 30-second wait time is reduced to 5 seconds when Windows 7 is turned on.

Speed ​​up the shutdown:

Windows 7 does not provide a setting to directly modify the shutdown speed, the user needs to modify the registry to achieve

Run the registry, and then expand the branch to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl, find and double-click "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" in the right window, the default value is "12000" in the pop-up window, which means that the shutdown waiting time is "12 seconds", you can input the ideal number according to your needs (Figure 2).

After the modification, save the settings and it will take effect the next time you log in to the system.

Edit Comment:

The two methods mentioned in this article are relatively simple and relatively safe, and the effect is obvious. The author especially reminds everyone that some system-assisted software that is very useful in the Windows XP era, when entering the Windows 7 era, many have begun to "outdated", the pace of development has not kept up, after using this software to modify the system default settings, It is easy to cause system instability.
