Startup Boost is the solution that Microsoft will implement to make Edge boot faster on your computer
Table of contents:
Microsoft continues to work on improving its new Edge browser to make it a valid alternative that can stand up to the big two dominators, Chrome and Firefox, and incidentally that can attract disgruntled users in its day with Internet Explorer and later with the primitive HTML-based Edge.
And the truth is that the impressions related to the new browser based on Chromium are very good and more and more people are betting on this solution on their computers. This adoption is the result of the constant improvements that are coming from Microsoft, an optimization that will be increased with a function such as Startup Boost with which Edge will accelerate the boot process.
A faster Edge
With this new system that Microsoft is already working on, it is possible for Edge to start up in less time by executing some processes of the background browser at the same time Windows 10 starts. Some of the workload would already be running when we click to open a link, for example.
The that some of these functions start in the background when starting Windows 10 can be something that, in more modest computers, has repercussions on a less optimized startup of the operating system and perhaps this is why Startup Boost is a feature that can be enabled or disabled by the user in System settings.
Yes, apparently these processes would have a low priority, so that the impact on the performance of the computer would not have to be perceptible on our part every time we turn on the computer.
This new feature must first reach all three development versions (Canary, Dev, and Beta) available for Edge, to later make the jump to the stable version. For now, there is no confirmed release date.
Let's remember that it's not the first function they've tried to make Edge a faster browser and so a few days ago we learned about the Sleeping Tabs tool, which allowed us to freeze the tabs that we did not use so that the computer consumed less RAM memory.
