It is a very common problem that the minicomputer is booting slowly. When the computer is turned on, some default software will be started. There are many factors that affect the speed of computer booting. In this issue, we will explain how to speed up the minicomputer booting.

First, disable the useless start-up items:

Disable the programs that are not needed or rarely used, which can effectively speed up the boot.

Operation method: Right click [task bar] to select [Task Manager], click [Start], and select the corresponding program.

Second, modify the registry to reduce boot pre-read items:

Super pre-reading is very intelligent, can improve system performance, speed up program startup, and is essentially to improve memory utilization, make full use of memory to improve system performance without affecting the operation of other programs.

Operation method:

1. Press the [Win+R] key on the keyboard, enter [regedit] and click [OK].

2. Expand step by step in the registry to the following directory location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters

3. Double-click “EnableSuperfetch” and modify its value to “3”, which can effectively speed up the boot.

Third, through the installation of third-party tool software to help us optimize the boot project:

The computer is equipped with security software such as “XX Computer Manager” or “XX Security Guard”, and these third-party security software basically have the function of boot acceleration. Therefore, we can use them to help us optimize the computer boot items to save the boot time.

Key points: This kind of third-party software itself is also the boot-up item, which will take up the computer boot time. And the more such software is installed, the more cards are stuck, the slower the boot is, and it is enough to install at most one.

Fourth, computer cleaning:

Dust in the computer can easily accelerate the aging of the components, resulting in slow operation of the hardware, and even some of the poor contact can not be started properly. For example, if the fan is not cleaned in time, the temperature of the computer is too high, and it is easy to start the computer slowly. It is also necessary to clean the computer in time.

Our minicomputer will run a lot of services and programs after booting up. The more loads and services we run, the more the minicomputer will be stuck. In this issue, I will give it to his family to close some services that we can’t use to improve the speed of the minicomputer.

Note: Our minicomputer does not need any settings, some services we do not need at all, choose officers and soldiers, you can properly increase the speed of the minicomputer.

• Right click on “This Minicomputer” and select “Manage”

• Click on “Services and Applications”

• Click on “Services”

• Right click on the service you want to close and click on “Properties”

• Start type select “Disable”, then click “OK”

Note: The above describes how to turn off the minicomputer service, but not all services can be turned off, some services are turned off and some features are not available. We have summarized some services that can be closed and explained the functions of the service. Users can choose to close the unneeded services according to the above methods.

Recommended closed service

Minicomputer Browser: Can be replaced by the network discovery function of the network and sharing center, set to manual.

Distributed Link Tracking Client: Individual users generally do not use, set to manual

Distributed Transaction Coordinator：Individual users are generally not used, and are also vulnerable to remote denial of service attacks, set to manual

Remote Registry：This service is one of the must-stop services, set to disabled

Secondary Logon：For multiple users, you can assign temporary administrator rights to a user, which is generally not used. Set to manual.

SuperFetch： I/O operation is frequent, if it is not needed, set to disable

TCP/IP NetBIOS helper：If the network does not use NetBIOS or wins, set to manual

Windows Defender Service： I/O operation is frequent, if it is not needed, set to disable

Windows Search：I/O operation is frequent, if it is not needed, set to disable

Security Center：Windows Security Center service, you can disable

Fax：Send and receive faxes using available fax resources on your computer or network.

Windows Backup：Provide Windows backup and restore capabilities. Windows backup and version recovery features have been bad, can be turned off

Windows Error Reporting Service：No one likes mistakes. For you and Microsoft, the error report is not useful in the past. You can turn it off.

Services that can be turned off depending on the situation

Netlogon：If it is not in domain management, set to manual

Print Spooler：If you do not need to connect a printer device, set it to manual (you can turn it off without a printer, but some software requires this feature)

Server：Set to manual if files or printers are not shared

Smart Card：If you do not use a smart card such as a U-Shield, set it to disable

Windows Update： Set to manual if you don’t need automatic updates

Bluetooth Support Service：Can be turned off without using Bluetooth

Diagnostic Policy Service：The Diagnostic Policy service provides diagnostic support for Windows components. If the service is stopped, the System Diagnostics Tool will not function properly. If the service is disabled, any other services that depend on the service will not function properly. The default mode of operation of this service is automatic. Vista or IE7 sometimes pops up a dialog box asking if you need to help it find the cause of the failure. Only 1% of the time it will help fix the problem of Internet disconnection, you can turn it off.

Diagnostic Service Host：This is the service that does the specific thing for the above Diagnostic Policy Service. It will be turned off together with the above service.

Diagnostic System Host：Basic and Diagnostic Policy Service/Diagnostic Service Host are the same, can be turned off together

Home Group Listener：Provide receiving services for family groups. The default mode of operation of this service is manual. If you do not use family groups to share picture videos and documents, then the service can be disabled.

Windows Biometric Service：If you are not using a biometric device, such as a fingerprint recognition system, this feature can be safely disabled, otherwise it remains the default.

Windows CardSpace：Personal identity management like Smart Card, a WCF programming model provided by .NET Framework 3.0. The average user can close.

Windows Firewall：Windows Firewall doesn’t have to say anything more. Disable if not needed.

Focus: According to your own situation, choose whether to close or not. If you can’t close it, keep it default. After the setting is completed, restart the computer.

Many people are very puzzled, they bought a high-profile minicomputer, whether it is playing games or running software, the minicomputer is still stuck. Today we teach you a way to quickly improve the performance of your minicomputer.

This method has a significant effect on the user with high minicomputer configuration. If the configuration of your minicomputer is not very high. It will be improved after the setting, but it is still impossible to achieve perfect condition.

1. Go to the “Control Panel”.

2. Select “large icon” at the view mode.

3. Find and click to enter “Power Options”

4. Click on “V” to expand the hidden option

5. Select “High Performance”

Note: High-performance mode: the firepower is fully open, the CPU runs at high frequency, and it works with a discrete graphics card. This mode is suitable for playing games, drawing, etc. The reaction is fast and the operation is smoother. Ordinary mode: CPU low-benefit operation, independent graphics card idle, use integrated graphics to work, this mode can cope with general office and entertainment, or some small games that do not require high hardware, can save power, generally in use You can switch to this mode when the battery is in use. If your computer configuration is high enough, you can choose “Excellent Performance”.

6. If you don’t have the “High Performance” option, you can create one yourself.

7. Select “High Performance” and fill in the plan name and click “Next”

8. After setting up, try it.

Currently our company launch some new Industrial Fanless Mini PC like V7-7560U, 7260E, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 model which fit for CCTV, POS, Kiosk, ATM, Terminal, etc.

The hardware is defined as follows:

In order to meet the requirements of our customers, Eglobal has been improving and has been making progress. Welcome to inquire us if you need details.

One of the most frequently asked questions from customers recently is why our computer update always fails. The machine runs fine without updating，but if we update the windows, the system will be freezing.

About this problem, there will be no problem with our machine, our machine can support system update, but it may be due to Microsoft’s different updates in various regions of the country.

We recommend that customers reinstall the system. If your system fails to reinstall properly, you will need to remove the WiFi module on your machine and reinstall the system.

Another suggestion is to turn off the system update so that he no longer prompts.

So how to turn off the system updates:  

Step 1: Click the window icon in the lower left corner of the computer, then expand a list, click [Control Panel] in the list.

Step 2: After entering the control panel, click on the option [System and Security] on the page icon.

Step 3: After entering the “System and Security” page, find and click [Administrative Tools] in the right area of the page.

Step 4: After clicking “Manage Tools”, double-click the [Services] option in the list of management tools.

Step 5: After entering the “Services” page, drag the scroll bar on the right side of the page in the page, find it in the page and click [Windows Update].

Step 6: At this point, you will be taken to the “Windows Update Properties” page. Click the drop-down arrow after the “Startup Type” section of the page. Click the [Disable] option in the drop-down list, then click [Apply] at the bottom right of the page, and finally click [OK] to close the page and set the completion.

USB type-c, short for type-c, is a universal serial bus (USB) hardware interface specification. The new interface features a thinner design, faster transmission speeds (up to 10Gbps) and more power (up to 100 watts). The biggest feature of type-c double-sided pluggable interface is that it supports double-sided insertion of USB interface, which officially solves the worldwide problem of “USB never allowed to be inserted”. The USB cable that comes with it must also be thinner and lighter.

USB type-c has the following technical features:

1. The maximum data transmission speed is up to 10Gbit/ s, which is also the standard of USB 3.1;

2. The size of the socket end of type-c interface is about 8.3mm 2.5mm thin design;

3. Support the “forward and backward interpolation” function that can be inserted from both sides, and can withstand 10,000 times of repeated interpolation;

4. Standard specification cables equipped with type-c connectors can carry 3A current and also support “USB PD” beyond the current usb-powered capacity, which can provide up to 100W of power.

Appearance characteristics

1. The ultra-thin

Thinner bodies require thinner ports, which is one reason usb-c has emerged. Usb-c ports are 0.83 cm long and 0.26 cm wide. The old USB port, 1.4 centimeters long and 0.65 centimeters wide, is outdated. This also means that the end of the usb-c cable will be one-third the size of the standard usb-a cable plug.

2. No positive and negative

Like apple’s Lightning port, the usb-c port has the same front and back. This means that no matter how you insert the port, it is correct. Users don’t have to worry about the pros and cons of a traditional USB port.

The main function

1. Quick

In theory, usb-c ports have a maximum transfer rate of 10Gb per second. But apple says the new MacBook’s usb-c port has a maximum transfer rate of 5Gbps. The maximum output voltage is 20 volts, which can accelerate the charging speed. Usb-a, by far, has A transmission limit of 5Gbps and an output voltage of 5v.

2. Generalist.

The new MacBook’s usb-c port can transfer data and charge, or it can be used as a video output port to connect to external display devices. The only question is how apple will satisfy users who want to do all three at once.

3. Bidirectional

Unlike older USB ports, which transmit power in one direction, usb-c ports transmit power in both directions, meaning it can send power in two ways. So, users can not only charge their mobile devices with their laptops, but also charge them with other devices or mobile power supplies.

4. Backward compatibility

Usb-c is compatible with older USB standards, but users need to purchase additional adapters to complete compatibility. Apple says not only will apple officially sell the adapters, but third-party companies can also license them.

The difference between Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C

To figure out the difference between these two cables, you first need to clarify the concepts of Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, and Type-C. In fact, Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 are both data transmission protocols. The difference between different transmission standards is mainly in the transmission rate. In terms of USB 3.1, it is also divided into USB 3.1 Gen1 and USB 3.1 Gen2. The maximum transfer rate of USB 3.1 Gen1 is 5Gb/s, and the maximum transfer rate of USB3.1 Gen2 is 10Gb/s. Type-C is an interface specification, in addition to other interface specifications such as Type-A and Type-B.

One of the reasons why users can easily confuse Thunderbolt 3 with USB Type-C is that both cables use the Type-C interface specification and look almost identical. Now in order to better distinguish between the two, Apple’s latest Thunderbolt 3 data line will have a lightning sign.

Although Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C have the same interface, they are paired with different transport protocols, namely Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1.

Despite differences in transport protocols, Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C can share the Type-C interface. For example, if the user connects to the Thunderbolt 3 interface of the display from the USB Type-C interface of the laptop, it can also be expanded. The only difference is that the bandwidth of the USB 3.1 Gen2 will be reduced from 40Gb/s to 10Gb/s.

Integrated graphics

The integrated graphics card generally does not have video memory, but uses part of the main memory of the system as the video memory. The specific number is generally automatically adjusted dynamically according to the needs of the system. Obviously, if you use integrated graphics to run a large amount of memory space, the impact on the entire system will be more obvious, in addition, the system memory frequency is usually much lower than the graphics memory of the discrete graphics card, so the performance of integrated graphics is inferior to the discrete graphics. With a motherboard that integrates a graphics chipset, it is not necessary to use an integrated graphics card. The motherboard can completely shield the integrated graphics card, but it is rarely done for cost.

Advantages

1. Low price
2. Good compatibility
3. Meet the demand
4. Low upgrade cost
5. Integrated graphics card means that the chipset integrates the display chip, we don’t need to connect the external graphics card.

Independent graphics

Independent graphics card, referred to as the independent display, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions called independent display cards, refers to the independent card, you need to insert the graphics card on the corresponding interface of the motherboard. The discrete graphics card is divided into a built-in discrete graphics card and an external graphics card.
A discrete graphics card is a graphics card that can be freely plugged and unplugged on a motherboard with a graphics card interface in the form of a separate board. The discrete graphics card has separate graphics memory, does not occupy system memory, and is technically ahead of integrated graphics, providing better display and performance. As an important part of the computer, graphics cards are very important for people who like to play games and professional graphic design.

Advantages

1. The discrete graphics card has separate video memory and does not occupy system memory.
2. Technically leading, providing better display and running performance.
3. And it can display multiple graphics cards inside the computer, and has powerful image processing capabilities.

The difference between discrete graphics and integrated graphics

From the performance power consumption, the integrated graphics feature is generally good, but basically meets some daily applications, the heat and power consumption is lower than the discrete graphics. Although the performance of the discrete graphics card is strong, the heat generation and power consumption are relatively high. In terms of 3D performance, discrete graphics are better than integrated graphics.
The discrete graphics card is easy to determine. A separate card is inserted in the motherboard slot. The interface on the card is connected to the signal cable of the display. Because the integrated chip is integrated in the North Bridge, there is no card, and the interface connecting the display is not on the card. It is usually placed together with the I/O interface of the motherboard backplane.

It support add Discrete Graphic Card
