Abstract
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.
