Embodiments are disclosed for methods and systems for selectively initializing elements of an operating system of a computing device. In some embodiments, a method of selectively loading hardware instances for a computing device includes receiving a notification identifying a driver for a hardware instance, initializing the driver identified in the notification, and for each hardware instance supported by the driver, determining if that hardware instance is associated with a first stage of initialization. The method may further include initializing the identified hardware instance and each other hardware instance supported by the driver that is associated with a first stage of initialization.

Operating system startup acceleration

In one embodiment, an operating system is booted based on results of boot-up operations performed during a shutdown. In operation, during a shutdown phase of an operating system, one or more boot-up operations are performed, and the results of these operations are stored in memory. During a boot-up phase of the operating system, the results are received, and the operating system is booted based on the one or more results.

Operating system boot up optimizations

Embodiments are disclosed for methods and systems for selectively initializing elements of an operating system of a computing device. In some embodiments, a method of selectively loading classes during an initialization of an operating system of a computing device comprises starting a service-loading process, loading critical services via the service-loading process, and launching a human-machine interface. The method may further include launching a last-used application via the human-machine interface, and launching remaining services responsive to requests for use of the remaining services.

Example methods and systems for selectively initializing elements of an operating system of a computing device are disclosed. In some examples, a method of selectively loading classes during an initialization of an operating system of a computing device comprises initializing a virtual machine, loading classes selected from a first class list, and loading resources. The method further includes loading a service-loading process configured to initialize services of the operating system and register the services with a service manager, and loading classes selected from a second class list after loading the service-loading process.
