Increase Boot Speed by Uninstalling Unused Fonts

Yes this is 100% true that Uninstalling Unused Fonts (Fonts that you never/rarely use) will boost up your Windows booting speed!

The main concept behind this is that it simply free up a whole lot of memory of Windows when it boots. This post shows How to Increase Boot Speed by Uninstalling Unused Fonts?

There are 2 ways to carry out this process:

  1. Simply go to Window’s Fonts Folder. Using CTRL key select all fonts that you never/rarely use and just press the DEL key.
  2. Another best approach is to simply stop the loading up of unused fonts at system startup (instead of completely deleting them). For this, just COPY all unused fonts from the Window’s Fonts Folder and PASTE them at any other location on hard drive. Now DELETE all the unused Fonts (those you recently copied to another location) from the Window’s Fonts Folder.

The next time Windows Boots up, it will definitely be faster than previous boots. As now the Windows startup has less fonts as well as less load. Give the 2nd method a damn try right now, to be on the safer side!
