When your windows starts up, it takes about 10-15 seconds to load up your start-up programs, that time is called “startup delay“. That let’s your PC finish loading and start the necessary services before starting your programs, but it takes a bit of more time than the necessary to load them up. You can reduce that time with a simple registry edit.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

3. Now right click on the Explorer folder and select on New -> Key.

4. Name the key Serialize, Select it and on the right of it, right click on a blank space and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

5. Name the new value StartupDelayInMSec and double click on it to edit, then make sure that value data is set to 0 and click ok
