Slow shutdown and startup of Windows 7

Not as fast as using either Windows 7 performance. Maybe it's because I installed a lot of programs that I'm not sure, but the os is slow to close. I get message waiting for background programs to close, and he explorer.exe. As matter is explorer.exe is really causing issues in the bones. To crash frequently, hogging resources, its frustrating! What is the problem with the operating system? I know that Windows 7 is not perfect os but is this normal? Windows 7 is actually reasonably well it's just when it starts to the top or stops it takes longer now then ever. I guess that's normal when I installed the os first started to the top and stop without delay.

Good new, everyone. I discovered the culprit who was slowing down the operating system. It's this strange file named sqlwriter.exe. It was located in the mobile app data folder and I deleted it. Because I deleted the file, the operating system is significantly faster. It doesn't seem to be a virus, it was some Microsoft files that I have somehow on my computer perhaps via windows update, I guess. Happy that I solved the problem :)

    Hi Bilodeau,

    You did changes to the computer before the show?

    If your computer seems to close slowly (or not at all) starts slowly, or if it is not energy saving modes, it is possible that a program or device driver is interfering with Windows power settings.

    Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

    Why my computer won't turn on or off quickly?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows/computer-wont-turn-on-off-quickly#1TC=Windows-7

    Method 2: I'll help you with this problem. I suggest you follow the steps in the article.

    Optimize Windows 7 for better performance

    Slow PC? Optimize your computer for peak performance

    Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to fix this particular sector. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • HP Envy, Windows 8 slow, late and does work does not correctly

    Hello

    First off let me give a run down of my installation:

    -HP Envy Dv7, (about one and a half years)

    -Windows 8.1 (I upgraded windows form 8)

    -HDD 750 GB (Stock)

    -Everything else is stock based on the computer

    So, my trouble started about 3 months after what appeared to be a routine stop after a day use.  The next time I started my computer took a lot more time to start, I got an error that talked about my control center catalyst having an error and does not and that nothing would be open to all.  After the merger with different ideas on how to solve the problem, I dropped and it factory reset.  This fix has worked for the whole two days were once again, I got the same problems, I did another reset and when it does not work I gave up for a while.  About two weeks ago, I again have to reset it and then updated for windows 8.1through microsoft dreamspark.  This seemed to fix my kind of problem, the same questions (not counting control catalyst who never returned after the update) would be upward if I have it plugged anything in the USB drivers.  Now for some unknown reason which was not the case for my wireless mouse which worked just fine.  If at this point, I have a mouse plugged wireless and no problem whatsoever.  One day I shut down my computer with the mouse is always plugged (I never do usually) after I do all my troubles to come back but enlarged.  I tried to do just a refresh of windows but it says that my hard drive is locked and let be honest I really want to keep refreshing and resetting my laptop and lost al my stuff.

    So now, here's a list of my exact problems in most occuences recentof, now:

    -Slow start and typing in my password take like five minutes to register that I typed in fact anything

    -l' unlock screen is for like five minutes

    -My Office take a good ten mintues to load all my icons and others

    -J' have a popup that says IEWebsitelogon, not having that take a long time to close

    -EACH window is delay, that is difficult to change their size, move about minimize, close, etc...

    -Every thing take > then five minutes for open including Manager, start menu task

    -Much more delay and related issues

    What is one thing to hard drive? They are not too expensive to replace, so I can get another copy of the win8 form my school so if that is the question that is very well.

    I really need help, my computer is basically usless, I am a student I need my computer please help me.

    Hello

    As you probably know, the error code 24 characters for short drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  It is also entirely consistent with the problems of performance, as you describe in your initial post.

    If there is no help, the player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  • Is it safe to disable the startup of Windows Defender and its services

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials on my machine.

    In the analysis of programs that I can disable to start at the beginning - until by msconfig.exe, I found Windows Defender that can be turned off, since I'm using MSE.

    Is it safe to do?

    When you install MSE, it will automatically disable Windows Defender and event he could come at the start, it does not cause performance problem. Start by opening Windows Defender and if it shows that it is disable, then you don't need to do anything. However, if it was open, then go to settings and turn it off.

    It is better that do not disable startup for Windows Defender, in case you want to uninstall MSE for a reason, you have a protection against spyware and Windows Defender can switch on. But there is no hight impact the performance on your system.

    Hello

    Is there an error message? If so, what would you say? If this isn't the case, then you probably have a stop initiated by the hardware to prevent overheating damage to the system. If this is the case, can help clear the vents and intake fans / exhaust so that clean the dust bunnies (desktop systems). Also make sure that the CPU cooler is not clogged and that all fans are working properly. With laptops, a cooling pad can help.

  • Computer slows down and freezes followed by blue screen.

    My computer has been slowing down and stop seemingly randomly, lately, sometimes even resulting in a blue screen. I was wondering if I could get some help here.

    I am running windows 7 64 bit on a lenovo y580

    Intel core I7-3610QM processor 2.30 GHz CPU

    installed memory 6.00

    After a restart of the blue screen, I got the standard error message "your computer has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.

    and resembled the bugcheck found this

    ---

    The computer was restarted after a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x0000007a (0xffffffffc0000185, 0 x 0000000070230884, 0xfffff6fb40000020, 0xfffff68000004a80). A dump was saved in the: C:\Windows\MEMORY. DMP. Report ID: 080115-38204-01.

    ---

    some help would be appreciated as it happened a lot recently.

    Download the official tester of WD here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=612&sid=3&lang=en&print=y.    Run all the tests.  I'd be surprised if you do not have to FAIL as a result.  Understand that these are WD asking its customers to guarantee to run tests to prove that WD should replace their dirves.

    54 degrees C is too hot.  Mine 32 tracks.  The high temperature is just another symptom that you say it's a failure.

    When a player throws a bad sector, it is likely to have more to come.  Yes, there are routines to 'fix' sectors defective, but given the cost of a new disc and the benefits of the most recent, it just makes no sense to fool around with a piece of material that might be causing a lot of headaches

    Everything simply good judgment says that you invest time with the help of a failing drive.  Get off your data when you can't always.  Buy yourself a replacement.  Probably less than $100. They are really not so difficult to change.  Tips: When you buy, make sure it is a 7200 RPM drive.  Buy the so-called OEM drives, they are exactly the same but less expensive because you are not buying the package.  There is a very noticeable difference in performance between the most common 5400 and 7200.  Your current drive is a 5400 RPM one.

    From the data above, you almost 750 G.  It seems that 500 would do the trick.
