Then you're either lying about it or haven't booted a newer PC. Fast Boot was a back of the box feature for Windows 8 for a reason. It was becoming a huge meme at the time how slow Win7 was to boot.

If your 2020s PC with Windows 11 is taking 45 seconds to boot on the Windows logo like Win 7 does (as seen in the benchmarks above) then you need some tech support because something is clearly not working as expected. I don't think even my weaker Win11 machines take longer than 10 secs from boot starting to the password screen.

That may be true anyway, because the tiny hybrid laptop I'm using to write this is reporting 2-5% CPU utilization even with a literal hundred tabs open in this browser. So... yeah, either you have a knack for hyperbole or something broken.

Neither of them are fresh out the box clean installs, they are what they are.

But anyway, I’ve been trying to engage in good faith but you keep being obnoxious on every single post you make, so it’s Block time

Hah. You do you. I get how it'd be obnoxious to be called out, but man, it's not my fault that you chose the worst possible example for this. Like, literally the worst iteration of Windows for the specific metric you called out, in a clearly demonstrable way that a ton of people measured because it was such a meme.

You can block me, but "they are what they are" indeed.

Incidentally, this is a classic opportunity to remind people that blocking on AP applications sucks ass and the only effect it has is for the blocker to stop being able to see what the blockee is saying about them while everybody else still gets access to both. Speaking of software degradation, somebody should look into that.
