    Slowed boot time


    As seen in the attachment, my boot time wasn't too bad before installing Avast! Internet Security. But after, my boot time is longer than I would like.
    I've always had good protection w/Avast! & that's why I use it.

    #1 represents a clean install of 7 Pro 64Bit w/SP1, all updates, my programs & games
    #2 represents above plus adjustments to services.msc
    #3 represents above plus installation of Avast! Internet Security v10.3

    Obviously Avast! is slowing my boot time. It's paid for through 5/3/16, so I don't want to uninstall & waste money.
    Does anyone know a way to lower Avast's impact on boot time?

    Hi,

    What you can do to speed up the start up time which is delayed by Avast is ticking the option " Load Avast services only after loading other system services ".
    This option can be found at: Avast --> Settings --> Troubleshooting

    Give it a shot

    I needed more than waiting for the other services to start.
    See reply#17 - it delays all that update checking, also replies #24 and 26 are feedback that it worked well

    In Win7, the .ini file will probably be in AppData someplace.
    Hope this helps a bit.

    Not sure why, but my boot time has gone back down to a fraction over 31 seconds. I didn't change any Avast settings or settings for the computer itself, boot time just went back down. Strange ... but at least boot time is reasonable now.

    Where is the site to download "Boot history" in the photo you uploaded?
