The "Number of processors" option is for LIMITING the number of cores/processors that Windows uses during boot. Windows will ALWAYS use the maximum number of cores for parallel processing during boot and operation without this setting being checked.
This MYTH has been put up so many times, even by reputable publications, it's become a standard 'smoke and mirrors' speed up trick that some people actually insist they can see a difference, even though no testing has ever shown it to actually work.
omg you almost destroyed my computer!!!! when i did that GUI boot and i restard my computer and it didnt want to restart last screen was shutting down... shutting down around 5 min.s and then i shut it down manualy !! and when i started there was blank screen man!!!! then after 5 mins it showd my desktop!!!!!!!!!! and i have a vista
No GUI boot: Doesn't make a difference. It only changes when the GPU driver is initialized. It'll still take the same amount of time to init whether it's loaded in the beginning or the end of the boot process.
Multi-Core Boot: This is actually a myth. Windows uses all your cores for booting.
but it dosen't work for me , so some of my friend told about reg in out registry cleaner, i have downloaded that,and run first i thought this will also not work, but after running i seen the results my win 7 is much faster, nearly it's look likes new win 7, u gyus can try this it will work for u
@Grandwaterfrount Are you trollin? Ima guess its because you have one of the best processors in existence and a fuckload of ram. Which you very well may not have, and just be trolling, as I said.
Don't you mean "decrease" boot time? You are increasing boot speed but decreasing boot time because you are reducing the amount of time the computer takes to boot up.
Changing the # of processors being used is redundant. If you leave it unchecked, it uses all of the available processors. If Win7 detects 4 cores it will automatically use all 4 cores.
you should give a warning before instructing viewers to change registry that it might cause major errors or problems if done incorrectly. Other than that nice video. (Norton PC-Support specialist)
@stamosgang you clicked on no gui boot. so that was supposed to happen if you clicked on it. all it does is turn off the pretty pictures when you are turning on your computer.
I think you should have told us to do the system restore thing before starting the video b'c some people might have not watched the whole video before attempting.
I did that but no problems for me. Think you should add an annotation in the beginning or something.
@JACOBFLARSEN The number of CPU's available in that list increases as you get more cores. So you got 8 cores, then it should also show up 8 cores available.
m8 you suck ass and you live in the old days my processer is a Intel Core i7 CPU, Beat that noob. btw i have used 15.000DKK i dont know how mutch that would be in Dollar's. SUCK MY BIG ASS!
Wow u kno my PC costed 23.899DKK and its the best pc in the world Its a gamer pc and it Runs faster than the Bugatti or should i say the Jet f-20, Dude so dont be complaining about this
The best PC in the world is not just a pc that a normal person can get and if you want a pc that is in the list of the best pc's then its gonna cost you 50.000DKK you just got a sucky laptop
my windows 7 takes about 2 minutes to boot up, my my vista was alot faster. and iv done all the tweaks that i know of... (intel core 2 duo cpu E8400 @3.00GHz, 4 GB of RAM, new windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. please help
Increasing the boot speed would increase the boot time. Think about it, if I'm racing a car, and I complete one lap faster than the previous time, I decreased the time it would have taken me.
I appreciate your efforts to help people. This msconfig tweak will slow up boot times instead of fastening things up. For example on a Quad Core you'll probably select 4 in the number of processors and that means that during boot only the 4rth core is used for booting process the remaining three idle....
Unfortunately this is a myth and the area of msconfig is for debugging only. To reduce your boot times try removing unwanted registry entries and then de-frag it. You'll see what I mean.
Well considering that your processor runs at 3.4 ghz and you have 4gb of high frequency ram that's not surprising. Very few have that type of performance though compared to all the people that purchase computers as those generally have lower quality hardware.
@SkateFraek Hi, I know it's a very late reply. I have similar specs to you but it takes about a minuite for me to boot to win 7. Do you have a SSD by any chance? If so does it make a massive difference and is it worth the cost ? - thanks...

then just bridge the two connections, then vwallah! once again, nice vid.
ok i just put that because i like macs and as a joke to make people made but macintosh shutsdown many many many times faster than windows. Its just a fact. I don't hate windows. windows is ok but a fact is a fact
why do you keep saying that it'll increase boot time. I don't wanna increase my boot time D:
