In essence, the startup boost feature for Office is a Windows scheduled task designed to preload Office components. This task will automatically run when users log into the system. Consequently, a new entry will appear in the Task Scheduler, labeled Office Startup Boost and Office Startup Boost Logon, which are integral to this feature.
If the device is in power-saving mode, the feature will be disabled by default to conserve battery resources.
Additionally, as mentioned earlier, this feature will not be active by default, allowing users to configure it freely.
