I hate registry changes in general but this one I like. It shows the various tasks and services that are run during startup and shutdown in the same way as when Windows installs updates. Open the following node in the registry using your favorite registry editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and add the following entry of type dword32 with value “1”.
“VerboseStatus”=dword:00000001
It’s that simple and it makes your PC look a lot more intelligent.
