How long does your PC take to fully boot?

[brigden]

How long does it take your PC to fully boot; from the moment you press the power button to the split second the cursor stops displaying an hourglass?

I timed mine at 38.48 seconds.

 

[Mrvile]

Wish I remembered to time it...BAH who cares

 

[Ryan]

It only takes him a few seconds at best.

I need to pee...brb

 

[everman]

A better question is when was the last time you needed to reboot? 😉

 

[Kalvin00]

1 minute or so..give or take

 

[Cawchy87]

My computer -> hard drive -> windows -> prefetch

Delete everything in your prefetch folder and re-boot. It will improve you load times significantly.

If you do this too much it will slow down your pc.

 

[FoBoT]

2-3 minutes

 

[notfred]

\\DELL-600M has been up for: 9 day(s), 19 hour(s), 15 minute(s), 26 second(s)

I don't remember.

[calyco]

22 secs after prefetch

I'm gonna guess about 45 to 50 seconds. I'll try to remember to time it next time.
