Use Process Monitor To Optimize The Windows Boot Process
There are not a lot of tools available for the Windows operating system that measure and optimize the Windows boot process. The mysterious Microsoft Bootvis, which was later retracted by Microsoft, or Boot Timer, a program that can only measure the boot speed, are just two programs to measure the boot speed. Many tips exist on how to reduce the boot speed of the operating system. Some solid, like reducing the number of installed fonts or programs that run on startup, while others, like clearing the Windows prefetch folder, will have the opposite effect.
Process Monitor comes with an option to log the Windows boot process. It will log everything which usually results in boot logs that are larger than 100 Megabytes. The program can however be used – with some expertise – to locate problematic drivers that slow down the boot process.
