Introduction: What is the Purpose of Quick Boot
Quick booting features is a convenient way to speed up your system’s boot time. When enabled, the BIOS will skip all nonessential early-boot processes and start loading the operating system as soon as possible. This saves time and energy by downloading only the minimum information required to start the OS. However, there may be times when you need to disable quick booting features and use the conventional BIOS boot method instead.
The primary goal of quick booting processes is to speed up the boot process and reduce the computer’s power consumption. When quick booting features are enabled, the BIOS will automatically pass over certain steps that are not required for a successful startup or that do not take very long to complete. By skipping some of these steps, you can get your system up and running much faster than you could otherwise.
Here is a quick summary of the steps that are typically “skipped” when quick booting features are enabled:
How to Enable Quick Boot on Windows 10
When the computer starts, you should see a screen similar to the one below. The option at the bottom of the menu is Quick Boot. Hit Enter.
When you press “Enter”, the computer will start in a few seconds. This is useful if your computer has crashed and you want to see which files have caused the problem. To make this even more convenient, there are some programs that automatically enable these features in your BIOS setting when Windows 10 is started up, so you do not have to do anything manually.
To enable these features, do the following:
1. Goto Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. 2. Click the Restart now (three times) button, or tap Command and R on your keyboard while you are on the Restart page; this will restart your PC in safe mode. 3. When you see the “Restart” page, right-click and choose “Recovery options” from the menu that pops up; a new page will pop-up with an arrow at the bottom of it. Click the arrow, and then click Restart.

Conclusion: How do I know if a Slow Startup is due to my Computer or my Hard Disk Drive?
A slow startup is not always due to a problem with your computer or hard disk drive. Sometimes, it is caused by a bad program. To rule out the possibility that a faulty program is causing the problem, follow these steps:
1. Delete the program and restart your computer.
2. When your computer restarts, log on to Windows 98 or 98SE and observe whether the problem still occurs. If so, you know it is a program that was causing the problem and not a hardware component of your PC. If you are using Windows 2000 or ME, you should follow the steps in this article in “The Controlling of Startup Programs” to determine if Microsoft’s own software is responsible for your problem.
3. If the problem still occurs, you can try disabling some of the Microsoft Windows fast startup features. Use the following steps to disable “Automatic Restart on System Failure” and “Automatic Restart on a Virus Attack.”
4. If neither of these procedures solves your problem, make sure that your power settings are correct. Check your power settings in the BIOS Setup program. Most BIOS Setup programs allow you to make adjustments to the following motherboard options:
5. Also make sure you have a copy of System File Checker (SFC.exe) on your hard disk. This utility ensures that your computer has the latest system files on a daily basis. If it finds an error, it repairs the system file and restarts your computer. If you do not have System File Checker, download it from Microsoft’s Web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000servicesservices/default.asp?url
