In Windows 7,the boot process loads the animation of Microsoft Windows 7, where four points of light play together to make up the Windows logo.

You can stop this animation in Microsoft Windows 7 to boot faster.

1. Click Start or press the Windows key on your keyboard, in the search box type “msconfig” and press enter.

2. In configuration window, click on the Startup tab, select the line that matches your Windows 7 boot , default is:

Windows 7 (C: Windows): current operating system, OS default

3. After selecting the boot in boot options check ” No GUI boot” and click OK:

No animation boot in Windows 7

The next time you boot your computer and the animation will not have Windows 7 and thus faster startup.
