boot time

Maybe this will be of use to some. Worth adding here, perhaps. Users have read, or experienced, a faster boot time in Windows 10. In a way, this has been a bit of a cheat by Microsoft. What they have done is eliminated a window/facility during the boot process. This has, itself, caused the now...

I'd like to understand how a normal boot displays running Windows 7. Is there a period where the screen is basically black between the "Starting Windows" logo and the login screen? I typically get a black screen for up to 10 seconds prior to logging in. I did discover yesterday that the Event...

Hi For what it's worth I decided that since I never use IE and I haven't had any webpage ask me to for a long time I would remove it just to see what happens. To my surprise my computer performs much better without it. My boot to desktop time went from about a minute to 15 seconds, and I...

Word threw me an error saying 'something went wrong' and suggested I run an update. After doing that last night (Tues May 27) my computer runs like crap. Takes longer to boot than usual, and signimg in takes a good 10 min. I tried to open a browser to search for solutions. That took 15 min to...

I have a computer clean installed with Windows 8.1 Pro, it had Windows 7 installed on it but I formated it and installed Windows 8. Anyways, boot time is very fast as the Fast Boot helps it make it fast, of course. But after booting a day later without going on it, it shows the boot screen...

Hello all, After cleaning out a computer I am still having issues with my boot up time, it takes over 3 minutes to get a workable desktop. it boots up to the login interface fairly quickly, but when I log in it takes really long for the desktop to show and when it does it seems to be busy doing...

For last 4 days I had been fighting with my Win 8 pro preview which was installed in VMware 5.0.2 I had had issues like you couldn't believe. Finally I fish out my 7 years old Dell laptop which runs Vista 32-bit with only 2 GB Ram. I did a clean install of win 8 pro preview. The difference is...

Explanation: http://bit.ly/q1ttjC Microsoft has released benchmarks and video testimony that shows the power of their new Windows 8 operating system. In boot and start-up benchmark scores, Windows 8 appears to obliterate Microsoft Windows 7. If that wasn't enough, Emily Wilson, Program Manager...

Hey everyone! So, for a bout a year and a half, I've had this weird problem where for example, if I would be scrolling down a page in Firefox, there was a stutter going on every few seconds. The same kind of deal would happen when watching videos...if there was a movement whatsoever in the...

Hi All, My PC was running great but when I started it from overnight sleep, which woke at the normal speed, I as always did a manual update to Avast definitions. It did the download as quick as always, but then during the "saving package" it hung. I left it like that for some minutes, and then...

I noticed this a couple of months ago that my boot time went from about 40 secs to now being over 100 secs on a good day . Done all the disable pragramms in msconfig to the point that I only have AVG still enabled . I have read loads of google to try and fix this but nothing works ...

I have a brand new pc and normally it starts up in 30 ~ 40 seconds. Yesterday, I installed Easy-Hide-Ip and there were some Windows Updates also. From that moment on my pc boots in 2 minutes! In the ntbtlog.txt I've found some drivers did not load. Can this be the problem? What is the solution?

Hi! I've been looking into the boot time of my laptop (ASUS N71Jq), which I've had for about 1 year now. I measured 2:30 to 3:00 from pressing power to desktop. Doing this I've found that the boot time for the Prefetch cache has a rather long degradation: - EventData StartTime...

Hi, I've been trying to fix a windows 7 laptop for a couple of days now but nothing I do seems to make a difference. It's taking an average of 80 seconds to boot up (acording to event viewer). So far I've removed 2 toolbars, unticked most of the startup items in msconfig, disabled search...

http://techdigy.com/2012/10/27/ubunt...ltimate-guide/ Ubuntu's drive accesss speeds are faster but Windows 8 boot time is. Is this because of Ubuntu EXT drive format? and does this mean ubuntu will be faster while initialized?

Greetings. I have just joined Windows 7 forums today. I have noticed that there may be a few threads regarding 'boot up' in Windows 7. However, after performing some small technical tasks, I decided to post the results for the benefit of everyone. We presently were operating with DSL for...

Hello Everyone .... The problem is Windows 7 takes time(more) to get into login screen from Win7 boot animation. Note - This only works for HDD ( Hard Drive ). For SSD just arrangement(quick defragmentation) is more than enough. This problem is shown by many notebooks with great hardwares...

I have a bit of a problem with a messed up windows 7 install and looking for someone with enough knowledge who might have come across this. A coworker had a laptop running windows 7 home premium. Since Home Premium does not allow joining of a domain, he upgraded to professional. Problem came...

My PC takes about 4 minutes to boot! I have tried everything possible including running xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot. Win XP never gave me the headaches I have experienced with Win7. This OS is very unstable and very sensitive to hardware specs. I remember I could not...
