    Ok, per PBCopter: if the cable is unplugged.... it won't change the error. so let's just mark that as done.

    Your bother's machine also does not show IPv6 then?
    >> To hallucinate properly, you need stronger tablets, not weaker ones. :)

    Not hopelessly wrong, there's always hope!
    >> IPv4 is an older version of IP - any connection regardless of wired or wireless can support both versions. That is if the devices and software support IPv6. You would have to have some pretty old equipment to have IPv6 not be supported.

    Good, I guess - no issues found/resolved with the troubleshooter. would have been nice if it found something and fixed it. Sometimes a magic wand is good to have hanging on your tool belt.
    >> I'm not clear on the Broken start Menu links though. It seems to have found them, it's not clear if it fixed them.

    Performance troubleshooter:
    Mark all of them to NOT run. You can always return them to run in msconfig.
    There are two Bitdefender 2014 entries. This might be two AV different services
    TomTom is your GPS updater I'm guessing - these are known pigs with huge data downloads.
    AMD hydra - not needed
    Akamai NetSession client - not needed. It came from the Asus Global (DLM). You can and should uninstall it in Control Panel \ Programs and Features

    I've almost caught up on my reading.
    I'll wait until the
    driver is updated and
    you've run the Performance troubleshooter (marking everything NOT to run) again.
    >> Note that this will turn off Bitdefender in startup. The AV program should launch for normal operations, it just won't run an early check.

    After you make the two changes above and note the startup speed (performance event logs after the changes) you should add Bitdefender back to startup using msconfig in NORMAL boot mode (not safe mode) Bitdefender is really the only thing you want in startup.

    I'm looking at Kies - hmmm it's a Samsung phone helper and it will reset itself to startup even if you tell it not to. Persistent little bugger.

    In your tray notification drop down list, find Kies or Kies Air Message (you might have to select customize if the notification icon is hidden)
    Right click Kies or Kies Air Message
    Select settings from the alternate (alt) menu
    Untick [..] Run automatically when windows starts

    I just caught a note re: slow startup with Kies - but I closed the window already - nope no history... it was in a search result.

    Supplemental Samsung Kies reading - no action required, information only.

    I do not have knowledge of My Phone Explorer, but a few people on forums for Samsung devices (not Samsung itself, mind you) suggest it as a replacement for Kies

    Believe it or not... I think we're close to the end. We'll see after the driver is installed and the startup is clean.

    Success, well sort of

    Managed to overcome the Command Prompt Box as below, and ran Win64e.

    I then used the Global Link to downolad a new driver file.

    I extracted the files and ran Asussetup.exe then installed with Autorun.exe, there were no instructions so I took the logical route and found myself here:

    After this completed I checked in Device Manager and found the driver updated, but not to 17.3.0.0 as expected

    I will restart now and hope I will still be here afterwards so I can complete my tasks

    Hi Maxie.

    I have yet to restart this PC but after the driver update it still took mote than it used to.

    Hi Bill.
    I have unchecked the startup programs in Performance Troubleshooter as below:
    Whats slowing up my startup? Event Viewer shows lots of problems!-performance-programs-ticked.jpg

    Apple Product Update, Bonjour and Akamai Netsession Interface have all been uninstalled.

    The 82579V driver has been updated but not to that expected.

    I have attached below a new Event Log, still not good to look at.
    Warnings 20 02 14 .docx

    Not sure where to find the tray notification drop down list, where is it ?

    Nearly there.........

    The latest Intel driver for your adapter can be found here 18.8.1. It will load driver version 12.10.28.0

    The driver version does not always change with every release since they also change the application software as well.

    Hi Maxie & Bill

    Okay shut down and restarted. On my stopwatch it took 1 min 10 seconds to get to the Windows logon screen from the 'Starting Windows' screen, much faster than it has been recently! That's good result Gentlemen

    I have attached below the Event log for the last startup (Top 3 lines)

    Whats slowing up my startup? Event Viewer shows lots of problems!-latest-startup-event-log..jpg

    Any ideas why the driver is not what I expected? It is later and seems to be working though.

    One thing I forgot to ask, I have Itunes installed, not sure how but I don't use it but am not sure if it is safe to just uninstall it in case it impacts on another program or function. I use Window Media Player and find this fine for my needs.

    Also the reverting of pbcopter's suggestion on restarting the PC.

    Regards

    Alan.

    EDIT.
    Just seen pbcopter's post above.

    The latest Intel driver for your adapter can be found here. it will load version 12.10.28.0
    If thats the latest then mine 12.2.45.0 is probably not that old!

    Hi Alan .. You can not really complain about the start time .. As for the Driver it does not really matter .. I am sure it would work .. But even so you are not going to use it ..

    Hi Maxie.

    I am most certainly not complaining, as said its much faster and a good result.

    Both yours, pbcopters and Bills help has been outstanding, and shows how deserving is the reputation of the W7 Forum.

    Regards

    Most welcome Alan .. As for the Driver Version we both know that is not the latest . We also know the latest Version would not have worked .. I did see the problems it can cause on some Systems ..

    Maxie,

    Just out of curiosity, why do you say this? I have been using the latest driver on the same Intel NIC with no issues.
