    slower boot time after patch? how?????!


    Very interesting observation:

    I have a spare pc with win7 64bit professional (no SP1) on a ssd which I bought a year ago. Back then, it booted within 20sec or so. I noticed a slower boot time after the SP1 patch. So I assumed the patch slows the PC and so I went on with my life.

    Now that I bought a new PC with a win7 SP1 64bit professional DVD, I expected to have a slower boot time since SP1 was already added on the DVD. But to my surprise, it booted just as fast, around 17 sec on a fresh install.
    I rebooted and got the same 17 sec. Next, I updated the recommended patches. I did not install anything else that was optional, any MB drivers, GPU drivers, etc. Just plain recommended windows updates. Boot time went from 17 to 46 seconds. How can that be? Am I missing something? If patches slow PCs, then the new DVD should have done so from the beginning.

    loobia,
    Welcome to Seven Forums.

    Fill the system specs for the problematic system.

    Update your SevenForums System Specs
    User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
    Your Profile | Edit System Spec     (left-hand column)

    To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

    In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
    Ř Manufacturer and Model OR Custom build.
    Ř ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
    For example:
    Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

    Provide full windows version info, for example:
    MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

    Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
    Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

    Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

    With Speccy, you can select with your mouse/touchpad info from the display
    and paste that info into your specs.

    SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
    this capability.

Long story short, I have shares on three PCs that are not always on. If I make a shortcut to the share and put it on my desktop, sometimes for some reason, the shortcut vanishes. I believe this is because I haven't connected the PC to the network in a while. So, I went about and mapped those...
