Intel Rapid Start Tech. is a HARDWARE based solution, works on every OS (if you have the driver) but you need a dedicated partition on your SSD. Windows Fast Startup works on every computer (using win 8 or newer). With Fast Startup enabled, my notebook needs only 7,5 seconds since I press the power button, until I see the desktop. (Obviously, you need autologon with netplwiz, so you don't have to type your password in between.) Without fast startup, that takes 7 additional seconds. (It is a fast notebook with an SSD)
To measure bootup, I use my cell stopwatch. If you want something more precise, you can use this old VBS, though this is for REBOOT times. Code: Option Explicit On Error Resume Next Dim Wsh, Time1, Time2, Result, PathFile, MsgResult, MsgA, AppName, KeyA, KeyB, TimeDiff MsgA = "Please close all running applications and click on OK." KeyA = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RestartTime\" KeyB = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\RestartTime" AppName = "Restart Time" Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") PathFile = """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """" Result = wsh.RegRead(KeyA & "Times") if Result = "" then MsgResult = Msgbox (MsgA, vbOKCancel, AppName) If MsgResult = vbcancel then WScript.Quit Wsh.RegWrite KeyA & "Times", left(Time,8), "REG_SZ" Wsh.RegWrite KeyB, PathFile, "REG_SZ" Wsh.Run "cmd /c Shutdown -r -t 00", false, 0 else Wsh.RegDelete KeyA & "Times" Wsh.RegDelete KeyA Wsh.RegDelete KeyB TimeDiff = DateDiff("s",Result,left(Time,8)) MsgBox "Your computer restarts in " & TimeDiff & " seconds", VbInformation, AppName end if wscript.Quit
They need to fix the fast boot bug any one else get problem turning there system on after a shutdown and icon and font are both messed up?
Hi, i wanted to know if this build is stable enough, and if i can install it as a principal os ? Please
Yes it is stable, but you should know it is still a Beta and it does not have everything working correctly. There may still be things that will crash it. It is up to you to use it daily. I my-self have been using it daily and have very little problems.
I find boot times very fast but I do have a very fast system that I am using. My laptop does boot fast, faster then with 7 or 8.1
Ok ok, i use it daily, so if there is few problems that doesn't matter But i have a question, if i download the build 10130 from torr**t after the release of the rtm, i will have to reinstall W10 properly ?
the answer is NO.....u dont use this as a primary machine...if u do is at your own risk....back up all your data every day.
Seems like I am having issues using 24-bit audio on both my desktop and laptop across Nvidia HDMI audio out, Via HD audio and Realtek HD Audio. No combination of 24-Bit/khz settings works, always silence and a message of "Failed to play test tone" when testing speaker configurations. Having to use 16-Bit depth to get any sound. Has this been discussed? EDIT: 24/192 works, but I usually stay away from options higher than 48khz due to some older games having issues when using higher audio quality settings and not having $10k speakers to hear a slight difference.
It's interesting that it probably isn't random, but is very predictable... I can't take the credit for the suggestion, but it appears the bug only manifests when using the start-menu's Power button to shut down (with a left-click, of course.) When you use the rmb context menu to select shutdown, it never happens, actually. I thought it was random, too, until I saw this and decided to test it--yep, it's a simple GUI bug relating to the start menu--I'd guess they'll fix it quick.
