Varying Boot Times

[[TC]►Ash◄]

Hey Guys

Had my PC since about 2011.

Used to get super quick boot times, but now they are sluggish and so varying.

For example

267785ms
241653ms
237894ms
136961ms
167051ms
237704ms
245724ms
260430ms
241435ms
124367ms
253308ms
124545ms
143434ms
199629ms
242272ms
113175ms
301225ms

Anyone got any ideas why? How I can stop it etc?

Thought about doing a whole HDD reformat, however I got my PC from Overclockers where I selected compontents, and cant remember if I still have all the driver disks

Cheers

Tried cleaning your HDD? Tried cleaning inside your pc to make sure its free from dust? I suggest de-fragmenting your hard drive with the Windows De-fragmenting tool

Another thing would be to reserve windows 10 and wait for it to install on 29/7/15

Ive done a disk defrag but didnt make a difference.

Cba opening up my pc tbh.

Yep reserved 10, would that make much difference do you reckon?

Don't you have programs that start at boot time ?

Press windows key + R then type "msconfig", and there's a startup tab.

Logitech Gaming Software
Adobe Updater Starter Utility
iTunes
Microsoft OnDrive

Hopefully windows 10 will have the same bootloader and startup sequence as 8.1 as that is really fast

You can turn this off and starts these manually when you really need, it should do a little difference.

But damn these boot times are so long.

How would I 'launch them manually'? Or is it when the program opens, that service will then launch?

So un tick 'iCloud' from the startup list, and if you really need it, open it yourself.

[Val]

Yes

Also No GUI Boot can help by 1 second or so.
