Is your Start Menu slow?

If you are a Windows user, I’m sure you must have faced this problem. The Windows as it gets older, the magic of Start Menu going away and it becomes a slow dumb. It takes 30 seconds to even 60 seconds to load and also sometimes causes Windows to crash. But by a simple tweak, we can fasten and boost the Start Menu loading.

Just follow these steps and you will get it!

  • Click on your Start Menu
  • Select the RUN option
  • Type REGEDIT in the Run and click RUN button or press enter.
  • Wait for the Registry Editor windows to appear.
  • Follow the screencast!

After you have done! You can close the Registry Editor and Bingo! Its done! Check the speed of your Start Menu now! It has been boosted!! :)

    Wow, thanks for the tip! My start menu was loading normally until I tried to attach a USB 2.0 device in a USB 1.0 slot. I don’t know why it would change it to a really slow value but the tip worked great!
