How to Make Fast Shutdown and Startup in Windows 10

Follow these tips, you can make Windows startup & shutdown faster as well as boost Windows 10 Performance.

Note: I recommend you create a system restore point first before change your system. I also recommend you don't make too many changes at one time or in a day.

Restrict the number of start-ups

Why have programs starting up when you do not use them. Even those you need can every time be started manually by clicking on the app’s icon. I prefer not to have Any startups except the antivirus software running. So choose for yourself whichever you need to start-up Windows boots. You may use msconfig in Windows 7/8 or Task Manager in Windows 10 to charge startup programs. You can also slowdown Startup Programs or manage the order in which they load when Windows boots.

Turn on Fast Startup

In Windows, you can cjhoose the Turn on Fast Startup option. 

01. Go to Control Panel 

02. Select the Power Options 

03. Choose what the power buttons do - Shutdown settings.

Reduce Visual Effects

Open Control Panel and search for Visual Effects. Under Performance Options, you can modify for the best improve or select or unselect the options manually. This will improve visual effects & remove a lot of eye-candy. You may, although, want to check the Smooth edges of screen fonts, & therefore go in for a Custom selection.

Make Windows 10 Faster

Disabling all can actually undo the purpose of attractive Windows 10, & make it look & feel ‘bland’, so use your discretion & choose your options wisely.

Defragment Drives

Defragment your Drives regularly. Of course, nowadays, you do not really need to do it manually as the built-in Windows defragmenter does a good job at defragmenting files in the background whenever your system is idle. However, if you like, you may use a third-party free defragmentation program.

Delete Junk Files, Clean Registry & improve Windows performance.

While eliminating garbage and temporary files may not make your Windows run quicker, it is a good housekeeping practice. You can accomplish the same thing using the built-in Disk Cleanup Utility or freeware like CCleaner or Quick Clean. whatever one should use a free Registry Cleaner to clean up the Windows Registry occasionally is a matter of debate, so you may take a call on it. although, I do use it once a month to remove left-over registry keys.

Fix-It for slow Windows computers

Microsoft has released a solve It for slow Windows computers. It will automatically diagnose & solve causes of poor system performance, such as the power saver setting, multiple anti-virus programs running, multiple startup programs running, and too many users logged on to the computer.

Use High-Performance Power Plan

The default Power Setting in the “Power Saver” plan limits the CPU to 50 percent in Windows Operating System. To give your CPU full throttle, open the Power Options Control Panel and modify it to "High Performance."
