    Windows 11 a newcomer?

    Dude it’s already like 5-ish years old.

    Also, I’m going to be very technical here and I don’t care if people hate it. But Windows 10 and 11 both outpaced XP and I believe that once the OS reaches a user login, that still counts as the OS as booted up.

    Other than that, yeah it’s really a no-brainer why Windows 11 lost in just about every category except the boot sequence, save being behind 8.1

      This is exactly the kind of gullibility for which the login is displayed before the OS is done booting / starting all background processes. Don’t be gullible.

      the problem is that specifically in Windows 11, it isn’t booted up when the login is shown, as integral processes aren’t started. Some of these include: the start menu, the search menu, file explorer, and many other background processes

        Yeah, I’d consider time from boot to login prompt to be a useless metric. You could design an OS to show a prompt before anything else to “win” this pointless race.

        Boot to usable is the only one that makes sense.

        Ok, one case where boot to login is useful: you want to boot up and walk away for a bit, so less waiting for a login means you can login before walking away. Though, personally, I find RAM training takes a long time these days if you’re not waking from suspend, so still think boot to login is moot.
