Disclosed in the embodiments of the present application are a
system startup method and apparatus, and an electronic device and a storage medium, which relate to the technical field of terminals. Applied to an electronic device having a first
operating system and a second
operating system, the method comprises: when a second
operating system is not started, if a startup time of the second operating
system is reached, starting the second operating
system, wherein the startup time of the second operating system is determined on the basis of a usage
habit of a user for the second operating system. In the present application, when a second operating system of an electronic device is not started, the time at which the electronic device actually starts the second operating system is controlled on the basis of whether the
current time has reached a startup time of the second operating system, thereby avoiding the problem of
power consumption waste of the second operating system caused by the startup of the second operating system at a time when a user has no intention to use the second operating system, and thus reducing invalid
power consumption of the electronic device and improving the endurance capability of the electronic device.
