    Terrible Lag at Startup


    Hello,

    Whenever I start my computer, I get a terrible lag. Google Chrome takes 3 minute to properly load. I've disabled unnecessary processes in Msconfig and used Soluto. What may the problem be?

    Do you have any programs running in the background?

    Uncheck everything in msconfig>Startup and >Services (after hiding all MS services) except your AV and stickies/gadgets if you use them. Reboot to see if the problem persists. You only need the AV to start with Win7 - all others are freeloaders on your RAM/CPU and spy on you.

    If that doesn't help much then work through the other Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7

    Injust,

    Glad to see the fillled out specs which helped me to eliminate some possibilities.

    If you are

    1. automatically connecting to a router,
    2. to a network of any kind, including a home network,
    3. or to the internet

    then

    for testing purposes, disable, disconnect or whatever and then power on your computer. Is the problem gone?

    If the problem is not gone, then restore and:

    For testing purposes, turn off your anti-malware software. Is the problem gone?

    If not then,
    please attach the file that this script will put on your desktop please.

    WIN | type MSCONFIG | ENTER | STARTUP tab |
    Uncheck ALL except for:
    Script:
    SynTPEnh            C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe
    MSC                 
    "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\msseces.exe" -hide -runkey 
    REBOOT!

    You have just told Win 7 to not run unchecked programs at start up time.

    You have not disabled the programs. They will be run when needed.

    This step alone may solve your problem.

    WIN = key with the Microsoft logo on top

    CCLEANER | TOOLS icon | STARTUP tab | SCHEDULED TASKS tab |
    Use DISABLE button to disable ALL except for:
    Script:
    GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA 
    GoogleUpdateTaskUserS
    -1-5-21-2499844963-2981187053-2189547800-1001Core

    -1-5-21-2499844963-2981187053-2189547800-1001UA 
    Close CCleaner.


    REBOOT!


    You have not disabled any programs. You have disabled the scheduled running.
    Later, after your system is running smoothly, you may reenable desired programs.

    Did you run a full anti virus scan and then download and run a full scan with Malwarebytes. If they are negative did you try to run in safe mode and see if the problem continues?
