Post-SP1 slowdowns

[besweeet]

For whatever reason, after dozens of restarts, SP1 takes about 8 more seconds to bootup. Every time. After the boot logo goes away, it usually takes a second or two to go to my login screen. It stays at a black screen for about 5-8 seconds. No HDD activity light or anything. This did NOT happen pre-SP1.

Did anyone else notice any sort of slowdowns? This is very disappointing.

I am just downloading SP1 - takes forever. I'll check the boot time after it is installed.

Mine hangs 5 more seconds longer before wds sign appears ..no biggy though ...
Give it sometime ...

My boot times increased by 8 seconds also with SP 1---from 70 to 78 seconds.

I don't much care about it.

My restart time went from 51 sec to 99 sec - not a good deal. If that does not get better, I will uninstall the bugger.

But I also noticed that the net runtime optimization service is keeping my CPU busy - 15% of the i7. I wonder what that is doing.

That's funny, my boot times are faster, especially on my HTPC.

I know that 8 seconds doesn't sound like much, but I'm just so darn used to it with my SSD. Very annoying and disappointing to see it take longer. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out soon...

After this runtime optimization was done, I rebooted again and it is down to 55sec - still 4 sec slower than before, but at least not too bad. Will measure it again tomorrow.

Mine are about the same but they weren't fantastic anyway. I also noticed the .net optimization service taking 25% of the cpu. It lasted for about 15 minutes and is now back to normal.

One interesting observation. It deleted all the restore points prior to SP1. They obviously don't want you to uninstall it using system recovery.

for me it did not deleted restore ponts and backups.. prior to SP1.
i tried restore and it worked got to pre SP1 windows 7 but some drivers was bit broken had to reinstall..

by the way its normal to see some slowdowns after sp installation give it some time.

Interesting. I just checked the event log. Yesterday there was an access violation on Volume Shadow Copy during the update of Paint .Net. This morning at about the time of the install of SP1 there was another error saying it could not locate the device and recreated it. So it looks like the problem was pre-existing. I think I'll keep an eye on this, not the first time I've had issues following update of Paint .Net.

I spoke too soon. Woke up this morning to a fast (if not faster) bootup than before SP1. I always get pissy at service pack installs .

Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1 adds 90 + Seconds !`

Wow, I'm impressed some of you only have 8 seconds added to your boot time.

I have a whopping 90 + seconds added to my boot time after the SP1 install.

I've rebooted 6 times in the hope that I might just get lucky, but no it seems to be stuck like this !

My boot time is now 50 sec which is 1 sec less than before. So things come back to order.

I have installed SP1 on 3 systems now - 2 x64 and 1 x86. Installations went smoothly. On the other 2 systems I never measured the boot time before so I would not know whether it is slower or faster. But the restore points disappeared in all cases.

consider that, after doing a huge update to most of the components of your windows installation, your system drive is going to be horribly fragmented. this may well add 8 seconds to your boot time.

try defragging.

Would not make any difference to an SSD.

this is true

My C drive was at 3% fragmentation before and after, but used 3 gigs less space after.
