I was expecting Chrome to be almost as fast as IE10 – based on my perceptions – but surprisingly Opera beat it. This was followed by Opera, Chrome and then by Firefox – which was the slowest to load. Internet Explorer on my Windows 10 had the shortest start-up times. The results are outputted to the log file. Once done, you will see a small ‘Finished Executions’ dialog box. You will see the browser start and then close 3 times. Once done, I clicked on Run App for each of the browsers. I preferred to choose 3 executions.Īfter each run of the application, AppTimer will close the application in an automated fashion while logging the startup time measurements to the log file.

Benchmark and Measure application start-up times in Windows 11/10 You can opt to run the app one time or multiple times, although it might be a good idea to set the tool to run the app multiple times so that you can get the average time.
