Microsoft is on the stage with a new solution on the Office side against the opening delays that Windows users have been facing for a long time. Starting from Word, the opening time of Office applications will be reduced. To achieve this, a new task working in the background will be commissioned. The task will work automatically when the computer is turned on and keeps applications ready.
The name of the new system is Specified as Startup Boost. The task will work quietly when opening a computer and upload the Word to the memory in the background. So when the user wants to open Word, the application will react much faster than it will already be waiting in memory. The task will be completed when the application becomes active.
Startup Boost will be active only on some devices. Microsoft emphasizes at least 8 GB of RAM and 5 GB of free disk space for the system to work healthy. However, when the computer swings to energy saving mode, this task will automatically be disabled. In other words, the user will be waived for longer use in battery mode.
Microsoft, IT executives in a statement, this system aims to improve performance and to make the application experience more fluent, he says. After the task is completed, the application will be taken to the waiting mode in the background. When the application is started, this waiting state will end and the process will be completed rapidly. However, when the system needs resource, the application can be removed from memory.
Users also have the chance to completely close this behavior. With an option to be included in the settings of the Word application, this background installation can be disabled. It is also possible to delete the task completely, but when Office receives an update, this task will be automatically reconstructed. For this reason, IT managers will have to provide control from the application.
It should be reminded that this method is generally used in Windows’s system task manager. Microsoft has long been supporting the optimization of the system by running quietly in the background. However, most applications do not resort to this method. Software like Adobe still works using classic starter folders.
Google’s Chrome update uses a similar structure. In this way, OEM manufacturers also carry out operations such as driver updates. But most software still prefer traditional starting processes. This facilitates the intervention of users, but does not provide an advantage in speed.
Microsoft will bring this system to other Office applications
This system, which was initiated with Word, is expected to come to other Office components such as PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook. It is not yet clear how long this transition will take or exactly which applications it will cover. Microsoft can evaluate expanding the scope of the system according to user feedback. The extent to which the application affects system resources is among the factors that will determine this process.
In addition, this structure, which is focused on accelerating user experience, shows that Microsoft is turning to use its applications more effectively in the background. Pre -installed applications on memory save time and provide a positive contribution to system performance. In this way, the speed difference will be more significant, especially in intensive document regulation processes. However, it will be important to balance the use of memory and energy efficiency.
