How fast do you enter your OS?

[neatfeatguy]

~20 seconds to get to desktop
Windows 10 on 500GB SSD
5900x in ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 with AEGSA 1.2.0.0
16GB DDR4-3200

Why is my boot faster than QuietBob even on a much older machine?

BootRacer documentation does not specify what it considers to be the end point of the startup process. But the time between logon and "all ready" will depend on the number of drivers and background apps being loaded, as well as tasks being executed by the OS and third party software (as you pointed out earlier yourself).

Besides, I sincerely doubt that we have identical Windows setups

Here my last BIOS time

Your BIOS goes back nearly to nearly 0AD. That's impressive!

Reply to OP,
You are missing a 6th option "I don't enter my OS, my OS enters me." Just a little after lunch humor. I like to add these kinds of funny options in my polls.

Little off thread: GTA V Story mode loads under 10 seconds.

Off-thread indeed, since the REAL question was about boot time to OS

Anyways, see my specs, my mini-me box is quite respectable in this regard, as well as most other things too !

 

[r9]

bzzz done.

 

[InVasMani]

Slower than light.

Putin knows where you live now....

It's ok, I have a pretty good idea where he lives too.

According to my view of your hard drives, via BootRacer remote backdoor IP snoop RDP, I can see your Peppa Pig collection is not as big as mine.

BIOS Time is how long it takes to POST, not boot into Windows

 

[DrCR]

I'm interested in seeing how storage, motherboard, and memory configurations change boot time. If you can, please state what you have.

7950x, X670E Steel Legend, DDR5 64GB 6000@CL36. OS: P41 Plat 2TB
Bios: AGESA 1.0.0.6. Fast boot and Mem context on.
Time: 15 seconds to OS.

OS, and specific distro, can have an acute effect.

 

[ThaGameRr064]

with an 8 yrs old HDD, around 1 min. As all old school HDDs.

Proof that's just too unbelievable

10 or less here.

 

[TheinsanegamerN]

6-7 seconds on msi 570 unify and a rocket 4 plus. Cant imagine going to 15+ second with modern DDR5 platforms with memory leaning. Bleh.

That's what I've said lol...

That’s your office laptop? I’m officially jealous of your software environment.

Asus ROG G551JW
i7-4820qm
16gb ddr3
480gb adata or sp dont know, low end ssd
Gtx960M (750ti 4gb)
Battery is removed (dead) and it runs on an Eaton 850va UPS.
Windows 10 pro, office 2019, chrome with 10-20 tabs open, a few custom .net application + few mysql database. I am the IT guy, the users have sff dell,hp 6-7-8 gen i5, 8gb ram, 256ssd. Some users desktop also runs 24/7, but it is needed for the backups to run at night (veeam agent)
There is also servers, dell t110v2, t20, t30 and an old hp with first gen xeon or something for backup. Network is connected by Mikrotik, Cisco, Tp-link devices.
I only restart my laptop when a big update needs it, or when it is very slow.

Did it with a timer and it took 8.3 seconds after I typed in the password.

Ye I use BIOS pw instead of OS, the prompt looks better in my eyes. Also it makes more sense to protect the computer before it goes through POST.

Sub zero, don't ask me how I just know that physics doesn't work here the same way

I like to add these kinds of funny options in my polls.

I would've added a lot more options but the forum is a bit too serious these days! Much like the rest of the world lives around us, not much humor (or dark humor) is tolerated these days

I guess that works until someone takes your drive out and just boots it up in another system

 

[toyo]

About 30 secs with my normal config, that has quite a lot of stuff starting in the background, like procexp, hwinfo64, MSIAB and various Adobe CC stuff. Fairly sure though the Steelseries GG app and Kaspersky are the main culprits. Reaching the Windows desktop is quite fast though and you really don't need to wait for the apps to load.
A clean Windows 11 with a 5GHz CPU OC and some RAM tweaking should be like 7-8 secs if I remember correctly.

Congratulations on successfully turning off MS Windows forced update download reboot overnight fkerthing

 

[Ivan Bliminse]

32-33 seconds
After using Bootracer it now states my time as 36.171 seconds.

Not like I have anything other than memes and pirated games and TV shows on my drives lol

I could veracrypt it but I'm afraid to forget a long password and don't really need that much security.

32-33 seconds

Ooof, you either have a boot HDD or so much bloatware the OS freezes upon starting lol

So the answer Xeon E3-1230v5, 32GB, SSD
= 9 seconds to Windows, and
= 28 seconds to Desktop

Neat utility
(now uninstall! lol)

My earlier post? Non-optimised results: Xeon E3-1230v5, 32GB, SSD = 21 to Windows login, the extra 12 seconds must be all the BIOS stuff before Windows startup.

Why is my boot faster than QuietBob even on a much older machine? This workstation is a relatively new, clean install. Only a few essential applications loaded.

Can't you just do what this proggy does in /msconfig?

oh lol I see they moved this list to task manager now. Haha

It even counts BIOS time wow

Anyway... this is how you get low time to desktop. kill all the things!
And yes, I run Office XP, eat that. It opens Word docs so fast, its absolutely mental, esp compared to today's 365
Also I see I have a noise suppresion service to kill. Nice thread, 0.1sec victory
