Early adopters Windows8 experience 8 seconds instant boot

Recently, Microsoft released the Windows 8 preview, which quickly became a hot topic, and some users who could not wait for it have already installed the experience in the first place. One of the major improvements of Windows 8 (Win8 for short) is that it has greatly improved the startup speed. The video released by a technology blog shows that Win 8 startup time is only 8 seconds! No wonder some people guess that the Win 8 name is "8 seconds to boot".

“8 seconds to boot" What concept? According to the 360 ​​security guards "boot assistant", the survey shows that the current computer boot time is about 56 seconds on average, and the fastest booting "five-star machine" is only about 10 seconds. In fact, most users' computer boot time is tens of seconds, and some "master machines" have to spend more than 3 minutes. Why is Win8 fast? According to Microsoft's official blog, Microsoft has adopted hundreds of measures to reduce memory usage, including reducing system programs for automatic booting. In fact, the boot acceleration method used by Win8 is not new, and 360 software has been provided. At present, 360 Security Guard provides the “Optimization Acceleration” function to optimize startup speed from four aspects: startup items, scheduled tasks, application software services and system critical services. The “system key service” optimization work is similar to the optimization method used by Win8.

Although Win 8 may take a year to release, users can now use the optimization function to increase the boot speed as much as possible. According to the engineers of the 360 ​​Security Center, the main reason for the slow speed of the computer is that there are many unnecessary boot programs in the boot program. According to security experts, unnecessary boot startup software will slow down the speed of the computer in addition to affecting the boot speed. These boot-up softwares always occupy CPU and memory resources, just like soldiers carrying heavy burdens on the battlefield, of course, they can't run fast. In the days of waiting for Win 8 to go public, first optimize the computer, maybe your computer can also achieve "8 seconds boot" & rdquo;
