Speed Up Windows Boot: A Simple Registry Hack!

[@AddlerMartin]

Pro tip: you don't need to speed up boot time if you never power off your machine

Sorry, but the advice you're giving here is worthless. * This setting has not been used since 32-bit versions of Windows XP and Server 2003. * The setting only supported the values 0 and 1. * It controlled whether the OS would use more than 8MB as disk cache, so has no direct impact on boot times. Also, regedit treats numbers as hexadecimal by default. The 512 you entered was treated as 0x512 = 1298. It didn't cause a problem here but mistakes like that can make a system unbootable.

Double check bro itz effect the boot time try it

@@pushkarrajput5587 I'm not going to spend my time measuring your placebo effect. If you're absolutely certain that this setting makes a difference, prove it. You need something that acts like a stopwatch. (1) Change this setting back to 0. (2) Reboot 10 times in a row. Start the stopwatch when you first see the spinner at the boot screen and stop as soon as the desktop is shown. Calculate the average time across those 10 reboots. (3) Change the setting to whatever value you think makes the computer boot faster. (4) Repeat step 2. I would be *extremely* surprised if there's any significant difference between the two averages. But if there is, put them in your video description to show how much of an improvement the setting makes.

​@@TheRealNZgeekDon't waste your time. The day this video was posted I shared the link to the windows documentation for the value stating it was deprecated in later versions of windows, and they just deleted it.
