Everyone is saying how fast WDP starts so now I am curious.

You can use the tool in this tutorial to test your reboot times; at the link below.

Last time I checked it was also in the 60's. But it spent more time in the BIOS than it took for the boot per se.

Btw: the system records boot times in event viewer.

The fastest I ever saw (on my Sony i7 Laptop with SSD) was 16 seconds.

Not good for me. But, than, I have installed quite a few programs in Win8 (Office 2010, Display Fusion, Logitech Setpoint, Paint.Net and on and on).

I can't test it right now, but I will after Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional is done reinstalling. I need it for my C++ homework, :rolleyes:. I assume this testing application simply gets the time right before shutting down, and right after starting up then subtracts them.

Something like that, all I know is that it works :) You can also find the start up time using the other method.

I am guessing the 45 seconds is from pressing the start button ? The reboot tool measures from when you click on it to reboot.
The other method above will give you just the start time from Windows without the BIOS screens.
45 seconds from pressing the button is pretty good :)

It seems a long time but when I think back, mine was never really faster albeit with Windows 7 :( This is where SSD's really make a huge difference.
