The need for faster boot performance is felt by nearly every single computer user at one time or another. While the need for rebooting a computer has lessened with each generation of operating system, the necessity sometimes still exists. In some companies, new initiatives to save electricity, both for environmental and electrical reasons, sometimes demand that computers be shut down and powered off every single night in order to use less electrical power. When computers are powered down every night, they must be booted completely each morning by the computer user. A slow boot process can be extremely frustrating when work needs to be done, hence the need for better boot performance.
Analysis of the factors that affect boot performance can be done by individuals with technical experience and can recognize the causes of reduced boot performance. The sources of such reductions are generally bloated amounts of add ons that load at boot time. The computer has to load all the required services and modules, and on top of those, it then has to load resident programs that launch automatically on behalf of add on software. These other programs that load during boot are likely not required for the computer to completely boot and function normally, so in order to boost boot performance, they can be removed from launching on their own and be set to launch only on demand, when they are needed, thus making the boot process happen more quickly.
Similar inspections of the boot process can be done by boot performance enhancing programs that can get into the system files and the registry and execute checks similar to those run by a technician, and they can make similar assessments of the necessity of given programs that load by default. Some can even boost boot performance by removing unneeded programs on your behalf.
