Do you usually rush? So you can improve the speed with which your computer shuts down under Windows 10

We have discussed how we can improve the usability of our equipment by making a small _hardware_ change. Replace the traditional HDD with an SSD with which we gain speed when turning on, during the process of working with files and programs, and even when turning off. It is a second youth for our team.

But sometimes it may not be enough at some point. It is often said that poor performance is caused by poorly optimized _software_ and not by underpowered _hardware_And if this is the case, we can fix some problems, at least on Windows. So if the problem comes with the shutdown, let's see how we can make our equipment shut down faster.

"

The trick is to access Regedit, you know, this tool is not suitable for inexperienced users. The RegEdit.exe program comes with all versions of Windows and is a very powerful and delicate part of the operating system when using it, since incorrect changes to it can cause very serious problems in the operation of the computer. "

A message that can occur despite the fact that we have taken care of closing the open applications (in my case I always turn off with all the apps already deactivated) since can remain some operating residually.

"

To end the message that we have already mentioned, we go to the Regedit function and the fastest method to achieve it is to click on the search box and type that, Regedit."

"

Once inside we must look for the line with the instruction Equipo\HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop, for which we can use from the built-in browser."

"

Once inside we generate a new String Value which we call AutoEndTasksand to which we give the value 1. From that moment when we turn off the PC we will see how Windows 10 no longer shows the message to let us know if we want to close the open applications or not. He himself will be in charge of doing it."

"

On the other hand and to improve the closing time of the applications we have to search, also in Regedit, for the line HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control Within it we must press and change the value that appears in the section WaitToKillServiceTimeout"

The value that is fixed is in milliseconds and we can establish a number of 4000 (milliseconds) equivalent to 4 seconds. Close Regedit.

These four seconds will be the time the computer now has before closing open applications.
