| 1409249 | 2015-10-01 04:22:00 | My Win7 machine seems to be getting slower and slower booting up, 3min 15secs from Power-On to all desktop icons to be precise. Can’t find any viruses or malware and have cleaned out rubbish with CCleaner. Only have 2 programmes running at Start-Up and they supposedly take only 0.1secs each to load. 6756 I’m thinking along the lines of Windows calling home, but not sure where to look. Any thoughts? :thanks |

| 1409250 | 2015-10-01 06:07:00 | My WIn 7 was the same until I upgraded to Win10 now it flies, although I find Win10 boots slower than the Win8.1 did on my wifes computer despite having one less program running at startup | gary67 (56) | ||

Turn the PC on, walk away & come back. Want faster, buy a SSD , or start disabling stuff in msconfig & scheduler (you can re-enable later, after testing) |

Yes there are other things running, but nothing I would think would take more than Milliseconds to load. For your perusal here are some screen-shots of MSCONFIG. 6757 6757 6758 675967606761 As you can see from another recent post of mine, I’m personally suspect of the Desktop Icon Cache, as well as MS Calling home, but accept I could be way off track. I appreciate your contribution. |

| 1409255 | 2015-10-02 20:10:00 | I just fixed one, I took the boot time from 3 minutes down to 30 seconds and no it didn't have any viruses or malware! Start here to get an idea of the timings, run this and see what your actual boot time is before you make any changes. www.greatis.com and have a read here www.msfn.org |

| 1409256 | 2015-10-02 20:50:00 | I would disable ccleaner monitoring in ccleaner. It can slow things down I would delete quicktime, and disable the canon entries, you dont need them . Run them after you get into windows. I dont know what delayplugin belongs to in startup Delete the adobe flash updater in ccleaner. It can slow booting into windows down MSE can also slow things down. I used to have it when I had Win7. Decided to kill it. It took longer to boot into windows when it was installed |

| 1409258 | 2015-10-03 19:42:00 | You can use this to check the prefetch settings www.softpedia.com Unfortunately I removed all the bookmarks relating to the whole procedure, but running the readyboost/reboot x6 optimize procedure should be the last step after doing the usual disabling and clean-ups. |
