Sloooowww Win 7 boot time, Event viewer info attached
My Win 7 SP1/64 Dell desktop system takes up to 4 or even 5 minutes to boot up. Doing a "clean boot" it still takes almost 3 minutes.
This has been going on a while, so I reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 and installed all the updates. It only seemed to make it worse. I use Security Essentials, and it claims there are no viruses/malware. I've run MalwareBytes and it too says the system is clean. Doing some research, I learned about the Event Viewer, so I ran it and got nothing but warnings of degradation and critical errors. In the non-clean boot, PreShellInit seems to be the worst culprit. In the clean boot, it is one of several degrading processes. Below are the Event Viewer errors for the clean boot. Any help and suggestions on how to fix this are much appreciated. Thanks, EdB `````````````Event Viewer info``````````````` Total degradation time Windows has started up: Boot Duration : 167803ms IsDegradation : false Incident Time (UTC) : 2014-06-03T02:34:54.624800300Z File Name : svchost.exe Friendly Name : Host Process for Windows Services Version : 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255) Total Time : 11269ms Degradation Time : 5269ms Incident Time (UTC) : 2014-06-03T02:34:54.624800300Z File Name : ehrec.exe Friendly Name : Windows Media Center Host Module Version : 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255) Total Time : 26123ms Degradation Time : 21123ms Incident Time (UTC) : 2014-06-03T02:34:54.624800300Z Name : PreShellInit Total Time : 11344ms Degradation Time : 15849ms Incident Time (UTC) : 2014-06-03T02:34:54.624800300Z File Name : sftlist.exe Friendly Name : Microsoft Application Virtualization Client Service Version : 4.6.3.24650 Total Time : 3248ms Degradation Time : 748ms Incident Time (UTC) : 2014-06-03T02:34:54.624800300Z + System - Provider [ Name] Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance [ Guid] {CFC18EC0-96B1-4EBA-961B-622CAEE05B0A} EventID 100 Version 2 Level 1 Task 4002 Opcode 34 Keywords 0x8000000000010000 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2014-06-03T02:37:46.805901000Z EventRecordID 4635 - Correlation [ ActivityID] {03715C60-F800-0004-44B1-2D67D47ECF01} - Execution [ ProcessID] 1624 [ ThreadID] 1772 Channel Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational Computer Turing - Security [ UserID] S-1-5-19 - EventData BootTsVersion 2 BootStartTime 2014-06-03T02:34:54.624800300Z BootEndTime 2014-06-03T02:37:44.107096300Z SystemBootInstance 18 UserBootInstance 13 BootTime 167803 MainPathBootTime 74632 BootKernelInitTime 16 BootDriverInitTime 847 BootDevicesInitTime 1668 BootPrefetchInitTime 0 BootPrefetchBytes 0 BootAutoChkTime 0 BootSmssInitTime 24007 BootCriticalServicesInitTime 4506 BootUserProfileProcessingTime 11344 BootMachineProfileProcessingTime 74 BootExplorerInitTime 19238 BootNumStartupApps 0 BootPostBootTime 93171 BootIsRebootAfterInstall false BootRootCauseStepImprovementBits 0 BootRootCauseGradualImprovementBits 0 BootRootCauseStepDegradationBits 2097152 BootRootCauseGradualDegradationBits 0 BootIsDegradation false BootIsStepDegradation false BootIsGradualDegradation false BootImprovementDelta 0 BootDegradationDelta 0 BootIsRootCauseIdentified true OSLoaderDuration 2848 BootPNPInitStartTimeMS 16 BootPNPInitDuration 1690 OtherKernelInitDuration 2826 SystemPNPInitStartTimeMS 4138 SystemPNPInitDuration 825 SessionInitStartTimeMS 5342 Session0InitDuration 17594 Session1InitDuration 486 SessionInitOtherDuration 5925 WinLogonStartTimeMS 29349 OtherLogonInitActivityDuration 14626 UserLogonWaitDuration 1679 |

Thanks for the reply. No problems with the drives; Disk Sentinel gives them 100%.
I've been trying various boot configurations - clean, selected, full - and the times are all over the place no matter which configuration I use. Here's the latest, which isn't too bad: Windows has started up: Boot Duration : 192794ms IsDegradation : false Incident Time (UTC) : 2014-06-05T01:25:52.624800300Z - System - Provider [ Name] Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance [ Guid] {CFC18EC0-96B1-4EBA-961B-622CAEE05B0A} EventID 100 Version 2 Level 1 Task 4002 Opcode 34 Keywords 0x8000000000010000 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2014-06-05T01:29:15.220154900Z EventRecordID 4707 - Correlation [ ActivityID] {0370DC50-F800-0002-4526-2E175D80CF01} - Execution [ ProcessID] 1808 [ ThreadID] 4024 Channel Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational Computer Turing - Security [ UserID] S-1-5-19 - EventData BootTsVersion 2 BootStartTime 2014-06-05T01:25:52.624800300Z BootEndTime 2014-06-05T01:29:12.365349900Z SystemBootInstance 30 UserBootInstance 25 BootTime 192794 MainPathBootTime 94794 BootKernelInitTime 17 BootDriverInitTime 1049 BootDevicesInitTime 1728 BootPrefetchInitTime 0 BootPrefetchBytes 0 BootAutoChkTime 0 BootSmssInitTime 27662 BootCriticalServicesInitTime 4252 BootUserProfileProcessingTime 10894 BootMachineProfileProcessingTime 27 BootExplorerInitTime 33190 BootNumStartupApps 11 BootPostBootTime 98000 BootIsRebootAfterInstall false BootRootCauseStepImprovementBits 0 BootRootCauseGradualImprovementBits 0 BootRootCauseStepDegradationBits 0 BootRootCauseGradualDegradationBits 0 BootIsDegradation false BootIsStepDegradation false BootIsGradualDegradation false BootImprovementDelta 0 BootDegradationDelta 0 BootIsRootCauseIdentified false OSLoaderDuration 2821 BootPNPInitStartTimeMS 17 BootPNPInitDuration 1752 OtherKernelInitDuration 2439 SystemPNPInitStartTimeMS 3929 SystemPNPInitDuration 1025 SessionInitStartTimeMS 5217 Session0InitDuration 20466 Session1InitDuration 520 SessionInitOtherDuration 6674 WinLogonStartTimeMS 32879 OtherLogonInitActivityDuration 17802 UserLogonWaitDuration 2088 |

Well that is good news and the hard drive can be ruled out. Have you scanned for malware? Viri? Silly question, have you defragged the C drive lately? You could run system file checker SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker See what happens then. You may need to run it 3 times. Please fill in your system specs. System Info - See Your System Specs
Your problem could be a lack of system resources such as memory. |
