1. what is bootvis?

and to make windows startup faster, you go start > run > msconfig > startup tab > uncheck the stuff u dont want > apply > ok > restart

i done all that and with the services (still have over 35 processes running).

bootvis is supposedly supposed to make your pc start faster, during boot, and returning from standby/hibernate.

Go to start, run, type “cmd”, make sure you are on your root drive (usually C:\), type “chkdsk /f”, type “Y” .

Then restart your system

*if you are not on your root drive type “cd C:\ “ assuming C:\ = your root drive*

Defraging once a day is overkill.
