How to disable Startup Delay in Windows 10

By default, Windows 10 has a 10-second delay during booting, before all applications and programs can be accessed. This is called Startup Delay and it helps to make sure everything works as usual when you start your PC.

However, if you have a powerful PC or don't have many startup programs in Windows 10, then you can try to reduce or even disable Startup Delay completely to help your PC boot faster.

Do this by using the Registry Editor, but before you begin, make sure that you back up the Windows Registry, just in case anything goes wrong. (This will not happen if you follow the instructions exactly!)

1. Open Registry Editor by pressing the key Winthen enter regedit.

In Registry Editor, go to:

ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer

2. Right-click on Explorer , select Key from New option . After the new key has been created, rename it to Serialize.
