usb, sata etc load AFTER log in, please help

peugot · 29 Jan 2013

so, i got this problem. after i log in, the pc finds all discs and other peripherals AFTER log in, every single time.. this is a problem because my dropbox etc cant find the disc its files are in when the program loads in. also, there are like 10 autoruns opening when i turn on my pc, everytime and that is very annoying. so what can i do about that? i want it to be normal, like no autoruns everytime i log in, and that the discs etc are loaded before programs etc loads

Type msconfig in the

search, go to the Startup tab and uncheck everything except you security programs, reboot, log off/on and see if that's what you want.

already done, but it doesent stop my pc from find all the harddiscs everytime(like it have never seen them before) i turn it on. why would it not find them before logging in? like installing drivers for all the harddiscs etc everytime?

When an account is logged off it's, well, off. Nothing can be loaded in an off state. If the drives are USB this sounds normal to me, mine does it too.

BIOS and w7 are not the same, BIOS can see what is connected to the board even though Windows can't. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem, please post a snip of Disk management. Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image

If it worked before, when did you notice a change and what happened right before the change?

yes i know, and thats why i also know its already detected hardware-wise. so the question is really, why does it take windows that long time to detect it? i want it to be der when i log on, not after.... it's there 5 sec after log on... but by then i have many errors from programs that are using those discs... what do you need a pic of disc manager btw, it's on norwegian... but i can have it if you want anyway after this info?

Don't worry about the snip. It is helpful to us IF you want help, or not, up to you.
Have a good one.

Try sysinternals autoruns to control those 10 startup items

Autoruns for Windows

Introduction

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.
You'll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically!
