ASUS Fast Boot

There are many ways in which one can improve the performance of a PC and even more when it comes to portable units like laptops and netbooks. Since they run on battery power most of the time, it is very important to minimize as much as possible the duration of system and application related tasks.

Decreasing the boot time means that the operating system will load faster and the energy consumption will lessen accordingly. In order to achieve this, one can try and eliminate by hand unnecessary services and processes that are loaded at startup, but there are highly efficient apps that can help in this respect as well.

Those who own an ASUS system might be familiar already with ASUS Fast Boot, a small application that was devised to facilitate the optimization of the boot sequence. This feature is activated from ASUS Boot, more precisely via the DirectBIOS advanced setup area.

There are no configurations that the user can make, the function can only be either activated or disabled with a single click. When Fast Boot is enabled, the most noticeable improvement will be the blazing fast OS boot, especially for systems with Windows 8 installed.

The efficiency of ASUS Fast Boot resides in the ability to deactivate the non-vital elements and allow only the processes needed for the operating system to boot up. In case the user wants to revert the changes, deactivating this function is one click away.
