Startup Boost quietly runs after login to make Word and Excel open faster

WTF?

!Microsoft is rolling out a clever tweak to help Office apps launch faster on Windows.

The announcementcomesfrom the Microsoft 365 Message Center.

Microsoft Office apps will soon preload on Windows boot for faster launch

If the system needs those resources back, it will automatically clear them.

The goal is to shave off a few seconds of waiting when you open an Office app.

However, there are a few caveats.

The rollout begins in mid-May, with global availability expected by the end of the month.

The feature will launch with Word first, with other Office apps to follow.
