    No internet connection on first boot


    I've just "upgraded" from windows 7 yesterday. I note that I don't have an Internet connection when I initially switch on. Restarting resolves this problem. None of the suggestions on this microsoft page work https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...&v4h=winxptab1

    I've never hitherto had any problems with my Internet connection on Windows 7.

    In addition, yesterday the start button, notifications, cortana were all non-responsive for a lot of the time. Somebody on facebook suggested I switch off "superfetch". I did, and thus far I haven't experienced any further problems with the start menu etc. However, booting up seems to have slowed down after switching off superfetch, even though my OS is on an SSD. And I have to boot up twice before I have an Internet connection! OK, my PC is 5 years old, but it cost over £1400 minus the monitor at the time, and it has 16Gb of RAM. Why on earth is it necessary to turn off this "superfetch"?

    At this point I think I'll need to go back onto windows 7 unless anyone can suggest any solutions?

    Hi, well my startup now is very very slow! I mean even if the internet connection came on at first boot it takes ages compared to windows 7. Maybe because I have the superfetch switched off. Also I doubt I have hibernate on. But I'll check this out later on. Thanks!
