Do you honestly believe it? As mentioned above, this registry trick I found on the Internet claim to allow you to significantly reduce your Windows startup time to merely 10 seconds. However for my personal experience after applying the trick, it is not the case. What it does instead is that it reduces my bootup time significantly, shaving off the extra few seconds of waiting. Anyway, I believe that seeing is believing, so there is no harm trying. But before all that, I must make it clear first that results do vary according to different computer specifications.

*Before you proceed any further, please do a backup of your registry.*

How to turn on your PC in 10 seconds

Supposedly after you finish your backup, proceed on with the following steps.

1) Press "Win" + "R" to launch the run command.

2) Type "regedit" into the input box.

3) In the registry windows, navigate to the following keys:

HKEY_LOACAL_MECHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex

4. Proceed to find the key "Startup Delay", double click on it.

5. Select Decimal and change the value to 40000

Done. You should see an improvement in your computer boot up speed in your next reboot. In the worst case scenario, do revert back the changes by using the backup file you made from the windows registry.
