How to speed up your Windows 11 Startup in 3 simple step

Disable all high impact start up programs in Windows

Please note you should only do this step if you know what you are doing.

1. Run Task Manager from your start menu

2. Click on Startup

3. Identify and disable the startup programs that have High Startup Impact.

Note: Please be careful and disable only those you are sure you do not need. Disabling critical software such as antivirus may lead to security issues.

In this case, I decided I did not require Steam to run (since I can start Steam whenever I decide to). I also disabled a few other non-critical software.

4. Restart your computer to experience your faster PC.

5. Optional: Measure your boot time before and after with BootRacer.
