Hello,
I am the happy owner of a laptop ASUS N56VZ (see technical details in my profile) for a few years.
For a while it takes a few minutes to be able to use Windows 7 after logging.
Does anybody know a tool to help in this kind of troubleshooting?
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Fred
Hello and welcome fossoson look at this tutorial and see if any of the tips can help speed things up for you
Optimize Windows 7
Another thing is for you is to keep the system uncluttered too and CCleaner is good for that https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
In any case run these too

ADW download from bleepingcomputer delete any rubbish found with the malware scans
NB If anyone is runningKaspersky security it may rant about ADW - just ignore it or disable it for awhile
Hi ICIT2LOL,
Thanks a million for this quick answer. I will go through all these links and hope get my Win7 a bit faster.

Frederic
Ok Frederic let us know how you go. It will speed up the machine by how much is dependent on the hardware really ie SSD more RAM etc
ICIT2LOL,
Regular HDD is present in my laptop unfortunately. For sure putting a brand new SSD will make it faster
Well Frederic if you do all you need is a SSD the same size and just clone the original drive to it with Macrium.
Easy as falling off a log and out here right now a 500GB Samsung EVO SSD is about $260 so really not that expensive - as they used to be. An alternative of course is to have a small one for booting and a spinner for data but I prefer the all in one option
For the clone on a laptop you will need an adaptor like in my pic - cheap and easy to rig up :)
ICIT2LOL,
I will clean everything up with the tools you provided and try to remove unnecessary stuff. If my machine does not run better I will get a SDD then migrate all over.
Thanks a lot,
Fred
Well I am pretty sure it will Fred the SSD is the ultimate though and I would just clone it to be honest unless you want to do a clean install then migrate data over
John
Well if I have to get SSD I will clone my system. I would like to clean up before order any new device
That is fine mate you need to look for any programs that are not needed or duplicated and run some cleaner ie CCleaner and the Windows feature - Disk Cleanup Disk Cleanup - Open and Use and https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download < this program has several features including uninstall etc but whatever you do when you run the cleaner > Analyze > when done go to > Options > Cookies > and send tot he right hand panel all the cookies you have for passworded sites or you will find yourself having to login all over again - tedious at best - time consuming even worse.
See this as well as what I have put
CCleaner - Delete Junk Files
For the duplicate files see this How to Find and Remove Duplicate Files on Windows
If the C: drive is a spinner then defrag it etc etc
