Optimize for free: Start Windows faster - useful tools and tricks

1. With the Autoruns program you can set which programs should be loaded when the system is started. Autoruns also finds hidden entries that the Windows Start menu does not show. The fewer programs that are loaded, the faster your computer starts.
2. If you use Windows hibernation mode, you can also save time when starting up. In Windows 10 you will find this mode in the "On / Off" menu. In Windows 8, you must first activate hibernation.
3. Your PC will also start faster if you bypass the login and log in automatically. In another practical tip, we will show you how to switch off the registration for Windows 8 and 10.
4. When your computer starts, the system checks your hard drive by default. However, you can avoid this step and save time. Press [Win] + [R] and enter "regedit". Click through the menu items "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SYSTEM> CurrentContollSet> Controll> SessionManager" and look for the value "BootExecute". Right-click on "Change" and type in "autocheck autochk / k: C *".
