How to Boost the Windows Boot Time Speed

If you have more than one operating system installed on your computer, by default, the Windows Boot Manager gives you 30 seconds to select an operating system before it reverts to the default operating system.

If you use one operating system the majority of the time, you will definitely save time if you set that operating system as the default and lower the Timeout value, making your boot time much faster.

Changing the Timeout value is simple with the System Configuration utility.

Follow the steps here to use the System Configuration utility to lower the OS Timeout value and set default boot OS.

1. Open the System Configuration utility by typing Msconfig into Start Menu or Run dialog box.

2. When the System Configuration utility loads, click the Boot tab.

3. Locate the Timeout box and replace 30 with a much lower value.

4. After the value has been updated, click Apply and OK buttons to exit.






Setting the Default Boot Operating System


The Timeout value cuts down on the amount of time that is wasted before the operating system starts to load. That works great when your primary operating system is the default; but if it is not, you must select a Windows OS that you want computer boot with. There is a much better way to handle the situation. Just make your primary operating system the default operating system in the System Configuration utility. This allows you to benefit from the lower Timeout value and speed up the overall boot time.

Follow these steps to use the System Configuration utility:

1. Open the System Configuration utility by typing Msconfig into Start Menu or Run dialog box.

2. When the System Configuration utility loads, click the Boot tab.

3. Select the operating system from the list you want to make the default boot OS and then click the Set As Default button.

4. When you are finished, click Apply and OK buttons to exit.

Using the System Configuration utility is the easiest way to set the default operating system.
