My PC is fully clean, defragmented and it has no viruses, but my PC boots up very slow... So I went to check whats making the boot so slow and I've seen that windows audio needs 77 seconds to boot up. Is there anything I can do about it?
Are you using onboard audio (VIA VT1828S)? If so, be sure you're drivers are updated as much as possible (driver from Dec. 2012). And, you might try running "sfc /scannow" (no quotations) in an elevated command prompt [right click Start, select Command Prompt (Admin)], if errors are found, reboot and do it again. All references from Google show that drivers for this were last updated in 2012, so you may just be SOL with onboard audio and may have to go with a soundcard, if the above doesn't help.
