One of the most important feature of Windows 8-the INSTANT BOOT. As soon as you first boot into a new windows 8 PC, the first thing you would be most fascinated to see that it boots up in less than 10 seconds. But how does it do it? Keep Reading to find out. Please note that the word now on which we would now most emphasize from now is 'KERNEL' .
In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). What actually happens in previous versions of windows is that when we shut down the Operating System, the windows kernel shuts off as well. So the next time you start your computer, the kernel wakes up afresh and loads freshly onto the RAM. But the new versatile windows 8 is different. THEY CALL IT- THE SLEEP HYBRID MODE. What actually happens is that whenever you shut down your windows 8 PC, the OS turns off all the apps while the WINDOWS KERNEL is made to sleep temporarily. The next time you start your PC, the start up programs gets loaded afresh while the windows kernel is resumed as from where it was made to sleep. This makes loading of the OS into the main memory faster and you get an instant boot. Please note that in windows 8 RESTARTING is not the same as shutting down the system and pressing the power key again. Restarting involves restarting the kernel also but shutting down the system and pressing the power key again resumes the kernel. So whenever windows would download new updates it will set bench-marking dates to restart the system in order to install the updates to windows. Simply shutting down and pressing the power key next time to turn it ON won't work as in previous versions of windows.
Go ahead and enjoy this instant boot feature as it is one of the best aspects of the new ultimate OS.
