Slow to Boot

Hi I'm not too keen on using it as it's 32bit, and my OS is 64bit, false positives, and all that.

Autoruns 32 bit is fine - I use it frequently.

According to your boot trace, your desktop is shown after 13s !



Is the delay you are experiencing happens, before the Windows Logo ? can you estimate the boot time from the Power on to the logon screen ?

Update your Bios (03/07/2013) and firmewares it can help.

Hi it takes 55 seconds, from when I click the Restart-Time vb script.
I have the latest BIOS, the one that is shown.
I have all the latest drivers installed, I used Driver Easy.

Ten, can you please check the Event Viewer, under Application and Services - Microsoft - Windows - Diagnostics-Performance for any 101 events since the upgrade? If there are any, can you tell to which app/path do they point to?
Additionally, can you please check the Startup tab in Task Manager and tell us what is the Latest BIOS time in there?

Hi last BIOS time says 21.5 seconds, see screen shots for other info.

OK, do you have an NVIDIA video card installed with latest driver at the moment?

Yes I do, and I reinstalled them the other day.

Can you please try this:

1. Download DDU latest version (available at Guru3D)
2. Download GeForce Experience latest version
3. Extract the zip and then 7-Zip of DDU (no need for installment, its a portable application)
4. Restart the computer into safe mode and run DDU
5. Choose the last option first, to remove any installation files of NVIDIA (GeForce Experience, etc..), do not accept to restart/exit the application yet.
6. Choose the first option, to completely remove the driver, where it will notify you that a registry key have been changed to not allow Windows to install any hardware drivers, which we will revert later on.
7. Reboot as prompted and try to install GeForce Experience, which will also download and install the latest driver.
8. Try to do a cleanup for the computer, you can use the integrated Windows tools like Disk Cleaner and Storage, perhaps additional registry cleaning if you wish. You can also delete the GFE and DDU installation files of course.
9. Restart and revert the registry change that DDU did here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching

Change that from 0 to 1.

10. Monitor the reboot times

Hey zinou, you have left me hanging, can you fix this or should I go elsewhere?
