i went into Event Viewer>Applications and Services>Microsoft>Windows>Diagnostics-Performance>Operational and it listed a bunch of errors. let me show you the screen shot. I have been having slow start up times and I don't know why considering I just ran a clean install yesterday.
Any help on this is appreciated. I just want my computer to start up faster.
I am having similar problems. I have an Event ID 100 for every startup (Warning the first two weeks after custom build and install, and Error the last two days since I re-seated my HSF and installed another DVD burner). I disabled most of the unnecessary startup problems.
My Re-start time was 143 sec.; it seems to get caught up at "Starting Windows". I have a pretty fast system (WEI index of 7.5).
Most people go right to msconfig>start up to remove items from the start up process. Take a look at "services". It shows many applications, some not necessary that are automatically started when you boot. Some of these applications can be changed from automatic to manual.
Hello Nolephin, I have to agree with richc46 I know service tweaks made a vast differrence with Vista startup, Seven seems to have made a lot of those tweaks default but there are still some you can shut down or set to manual (that way your OS can still start them if needed but wont run at start up)
Here is a link to a handy guide on service tweaking;
