While working with Windows 8/Windows 8.1 for a couple of years/months, it is likely that you would install several software applications on the computer, where many applications among those might be automatically configured to get initialized when the computer starts. If the hardware configuration of your computer is quite decent and a heavy processor is installed, you would probably face no issues.
