boot speed

I have a Dell Venue 8 pro running desperately low on memory. I ran SequoiaView on it to see what was taking up so much space and it says hiberfil.sys is taking up 1.2 GB. I'm wondering if it's OK to uninstall it? I don't even have Hibernate on my tablet but I've read online that hiberfil.sys is...

Hi, All, I have an all in one Samsung Intel Core i5-3470T 2.9GHz with 6GB Ram. The computer boots up fast (about 20 seconds) but very slow waking up from sleep. Also slow switching users. After slow waking up and log in usually it's quite slow for a minute or two after which it returns to...

HI I just want to say how disappointed I was with Windows 8.1. after a few weeks I. have removed it and gone back to windows 7. One thing I noticed after using cloud and getting a Microsoft account, the amount of junk email that I got almost trebled over night and even having gone back to 7 it...

We've talked about the faster boot speed and lower memory usage some already. Something else I noticed is memory usage stays lower over time. In Windows 7 as you opened and closed browsers and other things memory usage kept creeping up even when idle. Windows 8 seems to be keeping it cleared out...

We say that it still features Windows 7, because we’re shocked that this tablet can boot up as quickly as it does, considering it’s stuffed with a full Operating System. But, in all honesty, that’s just one reason why we’re so excited to see the ExoPC up and running, with a video that will make...

I was running Vista Home I believe, and I just recently upgraded to the Windows 7 Home Premium (Student Version) via download. The download went smoothly (I left on overnight), but I have a few questions. It seems through the upgrade some of Vista came along with it, most visibly the Dell Dock...

Windows 7 does not boot faster Vista is actually quicker By Link Removed - Invalid URL Thursday, 8 October 2009, 10:41 SYSTEMS EXPERTS with stop watches have poured cold water on Microsoft's claims that its Windows 7 operating system boots up faster than Vista. The Vole has been...

In msconfig Windows 7 is set by default for 1 processor. That strikes me as being wrong if, like me, you have a Core 2 Dual processor. I have 2 processors and not 1. You can change this in msconfig so that Windows 7 sees how many processors you have [1,2,or 4] at startup. This will speed up...
