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.
