Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boot loader is responsible for initiating the boot process of an operating system. When a computer is turned on or restarted, the boot loader is the first program that is executed by the computer's firmware or BIOS. The boot loader then loads the operating system into memory and hands over control of the computer to the operating system. The window manager and scheduler are both components of an operating system that come into play after the boot process has completed.
