Question Will this setting harm the CPU?

[WrongRookie]

So I want my PC to boot normally but for some reason it takes time to boot compared to most times and I don't know why it does that.

So I looked up on how to boot windows 11 fast and one of the things I look is this setting under system configuration which tells me to use processors but only the 4 if I have more than 1 and 2 in that option under boot<Advance options

Is it safe to enable 4 processors to get a faster boot up time and does it affect the CPU's longevity?

Leave that box UNCHECKED, and whatever the default "number" is

That lets the system use all 'processors'...the entire CPU.

Leave it as the default.

Ok I left it unchecked and I think that number is at 1...or 2. Does setting that number matter even if it is unchecked?

changing the number of processors in msconfig?

So i have an Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80GHz and was telling a buddy about some slow loading when i play online games and he had me go into msconfig under BOOT tab and click on advanced option and see the number of processors. It shows 1 and he thought i should change it to 4 or 8. I know little...

The "number" is irrelevant.
Leave it unchecked.
