In addition to those programs that you are currently using (green), many others are also running in the back-
ground that are really not that important for your work (blue). If such background processes suddenly start
to require a great deal of processing power, they are assigned a lower priority so that your other programs
can continue to run smoothly.
Speed up the startup of my programs
This optimization method intervenes if you start up a program manually when the computer is already under
heavy load. For a short period immediately after the program has started, processing power is temporarily
redistributed, giving the program in question a separate performance boost. This boost is achieved by tem-
porarily prioritizing the program in question.
The following pictures represent the inside of your computer before and after the Accelerate program start-
ups option is enabled. Here you can see how a newly started program receives a particular performance

For a short period immediately after the program is started (orange) the processing power of the computer
is temporarily redistributed, giving the program in question a separate performance boost. This boost is
achieved by temporarily prioritizing the program in question. No other programs (green and blue) are
affected.
How do I know when Live Optimization was enabled?
The great thing about Live Optimization is that it works intelligently in the background. Whenever one of
these two optimization methods is improving the performance of your PC in the background, this is also
indicated by the icon in the notification area of the taskbar.
