how fast windows 7 should start up

how fast to, I have a dell 760 optiplex running windows 7 pro 64 bits 8 gig of ram I terrabyte or hard drive, can someone tell me how fast it takes to start, and after the start page were the windows logo is, after that the screen should it go directly to a blue welcome screen or should it be a black screen before

John

Depending on your system anywhere from 20 seconds to 3-4 minutes.  No way for us to know because you didn't don't give us all the specifications of the system.  For example you have a SSD?

It may be 30 seconds after the logo screen until the desktop becomes visible.

If you think it's slow, you should check which takes over at the start.  Suspect, that you may have added a lot of software that starts unnecessarily

  • How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

    I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  • Windows does not start - XPS 8300

    I have a XPS8300 (2010) who does not successfully start windows.  System Restore does not resolve the problem.  Especially when I try to start it, the HARD drive runs very fast, Windows does not start, the screen turns off, but the machine does not stop automatically.  A few times I was able to press F8 and load it to the ' last known good state ", but this does not work normally.  When it works (like now) the function of machine reasonably well and I can access the files.  So I think that the HARD drive may be OK.

    I ran the ePST - he tried repeatedly - and he never performs the test.  No error code.  The screen turns off and then sometimes it just hangs. But earlier it gave me a code of "beep".  It's "1 - 2 - 3.

    Tried to run the Dell diagnostic online, but it's pretty slow, I can't tell if it has "hooked", or if it is still ongoing.

  • How to disable the App tabs (tablets should) start automatically?

    How to disable the App tabs (tablets should) start automatically?

    because the option [don't load the tabs up to choosing] dose does not work with her, and she keeps starts every time when I restart Firefox.

    Please help me!

    Don't bother, I arrived at the solution of my car, you can do the following:

    Type "subject: config" [without quotes!] in the location Bar (address bar) and press ENTER to display the list of preferences, as shown in the photo #1 in Firefox 17 under Windows 7.

    If you see a page with the warning as pictured #2, this might void your warranty!, click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to continue (in fact, there is no guarantee that it is, it's more a joke to ensure that users are aware of what they are about to do). Uncheck the box to avoid the warning in the future.

    Now to the search bar in the image #3 type: tab and search for it

    preference name:
    

    Browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand

    or you can copy directly to the search bar.
    Then, follow the instructions in the photo n ° 3 .

    Just in case where if the photo appears, follow these steps:

    First: Right-click on the name of the preference that we sought.
    Then, click Toggle to change the value from false to true.
    Or, double-click it and it will change.
    Finally, restart Firefox, and you'll notice that they don't automatically load until you click on it.

    That's it, good luck to all. ;-)

    Note: the list of fonts preferences fat is the user changed, and the United Nations-fat is the default setting.

    Warning: change preferences can, in rare circumstances, break Firefox, Thunderbird or Mozilla Suite, or cause strange behavior. Only do if you know what you're doing or trustworthy tips.

    Additional INFORMATION:

    Subject: config is a feature of Mozilla applications which lists application settings (known as preferences) that are read from the profile files prefs.js and user.js and the default application. A lot of these preferences are not present in the preferences or Options dialog box. Using about: config is one of the many methods of changing the preferences and adding the other 'hidden '.

  • How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

    How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

    You can by placing a shortcut in the startup folder of windows, just like any other windows program.

    However if you do, you are likely to encounter problems such as downloading email while still load the antivirus and the network is busy, announcing the arrival of machines on the network (which can be a network a) and any other program of a dozen are loading is heavy risk of timeouts and disconnections of the server as well as error messages that make little sense because they are something that still load.

    The bottom line is so safe that you can, but if there are any questions bring her out of there first.

    2. my computer keeps asking me to press the F1 key to start Windows.  How to skip this part?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The image of user account can be removed by disabling the Welcome screen. Or, by opting for the classic Windows theme. Follow the method described in this article, if you want to remove the user name and the picture in the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome screen and Windows XP theme.

    For those who want to delete the user name and the image of user account from the Start Menu, in order to have a blue white Panel at the top, try this:

    Regarding the pressing 'F1' to start Windows, you have made no changes or was there a system crash after which the problem started?

  • start-up: how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing

    want to know how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing.

    It is always better to stop programs from starting with Windows from the programs themselves, so look in their choices first. There may be an entry in your start > programs > startup folder which can simply be removed. If a program does not offer a way to control the start-up of its preferences, use msconfig to clear the check box next to its name, apply and OK on. Also take a look in your programs > startup folder to see if there is an entry for the application it.

    Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Usually, it will be blocked by Windows Defender, and you need to allow it to run so that you can then check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use Services and stop all services, unless you really, really know what you're doing.

    The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

  • How do windows 7 start, power button problems

    Windows 7 Home premium on side of Dell inspiron 560 3.6

    Windows does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed, windows has become a mini dump to protect the system, there is a timer on the Start button, what is the procedure to start?

    Hi Joan,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    a. you are able to view the Dell logo, when the system is turned on?

    b. What do you mean when you say, "windows went into a mini discharge to protect the system?"

    c. you are able to boot, sometimes, when you refer to "timer on the Start button? What Timer are you referring?

    d. do you have the Windows 7 installation disc?

    e. What is the final on-screen display when you turn on the system and let idle?

    If you are not yet able to see the logo of the manufacturer Dell during system startup, you may need to communicate with the hardware Dell supports for the diagnostic system hardware.

    If, however, you are able to see the nut of Dell logo not able to reach the login screen, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    If you have not tried running a startup of your system using a Windows 7 DVDrepair, I suggest you to try once. Try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally.

    See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.
