Optimizing System Startup and Shutdown
In the following chapters, you will find out how to optimize the startup and shutdown of your computer in next
to no time..
All modifications to your system will be monitored by TuneUp Rescue Center and can be undone if
necessary.
Introduction
Here you receive recommendations for disabling unnecessary startup programs. These recommendations help to
optimize system startup and shutdown.
For example, common startup services that are not needed immediately after system startup are simply sched-
uled to start up at a later time. This still ensures that you will not lose these functions, but they no longer delay
system startup unnecessarily. The waiting time for services to shut down is also reduced. Services will therefore
close faster when shutting down and the shutdown procedure itself will be faster.
You can either apply all of these recommendations immediately, or look at the detailed descriptions first and
then decide one by one.
