I want my PC to start up quickly, but it takes too long compared to other times and I don't know why. So I looked online for how to boot windows 11 fast, and one thing I found is this setting under system configuration which tells me to use processors but only the 4 if I have more than 1 and 2 in that option under boot<Advance options https://imgur.com/TWJEpxF View: https://imgur.com/TWJEpxF Is it safe to enable 4 processors to get a faster boot up time and does it affect the CPU's longevity?

https://superuser.com/questions/162...mb...its-potent https://www.tenforums.com/performance-ma...onfig.html https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/...ty...-your-dell pc changing the number of processors in msconfig? So i have an Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80GHz and was telling a buddy about some slow loading when i play online games and he had me go into msconfig under BOOT tab and click on advanced option and see the number of processors. It shows 1 and he thought i should change it to 4 or 8. I know little... forums. The "number" is irrelevant. Leave it unchecked.

Don't check that box, let the computer pick up on its built-in speed settings instead of using just one processor. Just leave it like that and enjoy more power from your machine naturally.
