Slow boot every 24 hours - network issue?
Hi guys
This is not a major issue but if I don't switch my laptop on for over a day my boot slows by about 10-15 secs as it lingers on the welcome screen when logging in. If I switch on again within say a couple hours then no delay, only a second at most. I have my laptop connected via wired switch. I thought it may of been down to the mapped NAS drives I had so I created a batch file to map these and place in the start up folder - unfortunately this did not work. But could a mapped drive even though I hav done this still be the culprit? I can't eradicate the mapping as I need these.
Or could it be down to my router? In as much as it takes longer for my laptop to establish connection to the LAN after 24 hours. I do have both wired and also the wifi active on the laptop and static IP assigned via router interface for each adapter. I did try switching wifi off on the laptop but it made no difference for this problem.
Final thing, I noticed on all our machines at home that under wifi refreshing the network list is quicker than using ethernet. Ethernet takes 4 or 5 seconds to completely refresh whilst wifi is only couple of secs I would say. Seems strange and is clearly not specific to a laptop as thry all do it. File transfer speed under wired is much faster than wifi (as it should be), its just this network refresh that is slightly slower !
