• HP 14-r015tx: Windows 8 slow start welcome screen

  Hello

  I have a HP 14-r015tx running Windows OEM (preinstalled) 8.1 update and update Windows via Windows Update today (08/11/2015).

  I have this problem where whenever I start my PC after Windows loading-black-screen with the HP logo (this approach indirect loading animation), get this screen "Please wait...". "so long as about 4 to 8 minutes until I get my account picture and the name with the 'Welcome' screen and my office appeared. I tried a lot of things:

  -Defragment all my hard drive partitions,

  -Optimize all my partitions of hard disk with the Windows defragmentation tool,

  -Used TuneUp and clean all the junks, defragment the registry clean registry and redefragment my hard drive partitions.

  -Uninstalling most of my games and unused applications (have 36.4 GB of free space on C,)

  -Use cleanmgr and cleaned all the possible junks from there.

  -Updated Windows 8 on a regular basis, and I just updated on 8 August 2015.

  -Looking upward on my hard drive deep and my records and clear on the unused entries.

  -Turn off much, services.msc and start apps services

  -From msconfig, I put a few services, and

  -Updated my BIOS HP PC software.

  I do not understand on this subject. I tried many things and I can't fix this crappy Windows 8.

  In conclusion, my questions are:

  1. How do I fix this shit?

  2. can I I defragment RECOVERY (D [2 GB] partition?) (I think it's the Windows Recovery Partition)

  Thanks in advance.

• Windows 7, slow start, after that initial windows backup has been done internally SATA 3 to disk

  Any new installation of Windows 7 on a CORE I7, SSD as the first disk, and WD3TB as the backup Z: drive

  If the 3 TB is freshly formatted, "starting Windows" takes about 8 seconds.

  Copy 150 GB of data on the 3 to, start-up time is not affected.

  Then after the initial backup of Windows is made for 3 to on the next restart and subsequent reboots, "Starting Windows" ~ 50 seconds.

  Checked on another PC and other tests on a CORE i5 - 3570 K 3.4 GHZ with SSD as C: and WD3TB as the backup.

  The fix was to change the windows of formatting of the allocation size of the 3 TB to 64K, the default value is 4 k.

  Calculation of the allocation size and time to "starting Windows":

  After a backup on the CORE i5;

  Alloc Time seconds

  2K 85

  K 4, 57 (default Allocation size)

  8K 32

• Windows 7 32-bit slow start of blue circle hangs on the network icon in the tray for 10 minutes, some programs don't load until the problem resolves.

  Hello world.

  It will be long and windy.

  I have a problem with my Dell XPS M1530.

  im going to write down the details of my question, short first. so if you want you can read my short story on my laptop and I.

  • Slow start.
  • Network at startup initialization problem.
  • Blue circle weighs on my network icon in the taskbar notification for 10 minutes or more. then she disappears with the problem that everything starts to operate correctly.
  • some startup programs do not start until the issue is resolved. (blue circle disappears) i.e. Dell touchpad, magic disc, pda.net and perhaps language bar.
  • programs that have to do with the network or the internet such as IE or center network to hang until the issue is resolved.
  • Some programs won't load if started up that the problem is solved. i.e. open office, cakewalk sonar.

  Another thing, I noticed. If I have automatic network connection configuration and the network is in range when I launch firefox I can actually serf the web regardless of the question.

  I'm not the only one having this problem, but solutions that work for some do not work for me. some of the things I've tried to understand.

  • has run msconfig to see if it is one of the start up programs or cervix causing the problem. found nothing.
  • has ran the command cmd, I forgot what's it called some thing/something else. It digitizes and restores the registers according to me. did not help
  • Used pc AVG scanner. then corrected all the errors found and the questions. did not help.
  • reinstalled the network drivers. did not help.
  • Ran startup recovery tool to fix problems at the beginning. did not help.
  • Booted up my laptop in SafeMode with network. Works very well

  Also, the problem started not with win 7 install I had it on my laptop well before the Enigma.

  im running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. as if lately, about 3 months ago, my laptop started to start slowly and be laggy when the system boots. I have no much attention at first. Since the question does not disappear on its own, I noticed that my network in the notification bar icon has a blue circle probably because its network initialization or loading something that is bound to it something as is. After about 10 minutes the issue resolves itself and everything works fine until I have reboot or restart. also if I put my laptop to sleep when I start it it works fine. I think that the time to resolve that issue got longer it is about 10 min now but it used a lot less. at least that's what I recall. In addition, I noticed a few more things. If I left click on the network icon does nothing when normally it will display network connections. If I right click on it displays troubleshooting and Open Network and Sharing Center. Troubleshooting doesn't help and returns nothing. Network and sharing Center is suspended until the problem resolves. in fact, some programs won't load until it the problem goes away like internet explore, network and sharing virtually Center almost everything what has to do with the network and also other programs that require a little more resources e.g. cakewalk Sonar. In addition, other startup programs and services such as Dell touch pad, magic disk, PDA. NEt don't start until after the problem goes away. What else... the kicker is that while the issue is to present the networks I connect to automatically are in fact very well and I have internet, even though the network is still initializing. what I mean is that if I start my portable firefox and launch (cannot use IE because he hangs up) I can go online and the serf of the web.

  Well, I am at a loss and don't know what to do next, except to format and clean install. However, people who did it until the problem was which leads me to believe that this is one of the windows updates may be.

  If someone knows how to fix this problem or can give a kind of constructive contribution, I'm all ears.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Kosmosis,

  I had the same problem, and after fishing trawl through the web to find answers, this is the most reliable solution that I found. At the very least, it will help to determine where the problem is.

  (1) reboot your computer.

  (2) go to Run--> services.msc

  (3) to sort the list by status (click the heading)

  (4) see those blocked at the 'boot '? These are your incriminated objects.

  Apparently, Windows has problems initializing services, and until he solves, or give up, he can't go the rest of the startup procedure. Different people get stuck on different things. For me, it was the 'Server' service as jams it for 20 minutes or more.

  You have 2 options:

  Right click 1)--> properties and change the Startup Type to "automatic (Delayed). This requires to load later, that hopefully allows all the rest at the end of initialization so that you can use the computer first.

  (2) read the Description of the service and see if you can find whats causing it to get stuck. In my case, 'Server' rule of network discovery, file sharing and printing. I realized that I UNPLUGGED a NAS from Buffalo, who worked as a print server as well. My windows was blocked to find a printer on a network that was no longer available. Remove the printer from devices solved the problem.

  If all else fails, you can always try to disable the service. This is probably not the best reccomendation, like its there for a reason, but it might help you to troubleshoot.

• Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

  I had my * Toshiba Satellite Pro * with * Windows XP * for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and only gave me no problems until a few weeks ago.

  A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it the virus 'Antivir Solutions' very undesirable and unliked. I've done everything I can to get rid of this disaster (with the help of the support forums) and I think that I managed to get rid of it, but since my computer has not been the same.

  I had trouble downloading a PDF document, a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart that caused the computer to have a hissing fit, remove my user account which meant I had to configure everything again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the moment you press the button "ON" when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes every time you click on an icon for the program to start actually...

  I tried to defrag the system and you have tried to uninstall unused programs to speed up the computer, but it did not work.
  I also ran several anti-virus (e.g. Norton, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure that I don't have wicked not spoil me, but they come clean.

  May I also add the sound is messed up also. If I use the built-in speakers or external speakers, the sound is disjoint and broken. Like any video I have play.

  I don't know what to do.
  I can't really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 of the 24 hours a day...
  * What can I do? *

  Hi nicoletrist,

  I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but I think that the slow start Windows is caused due to viruses you have or had.
  A few years ago I also had a virus and it was causing a very slow start to the top, he did take up to 10 minutes until Windows has been loaded and the only solution to get rid of this used Toshiba recovery disc.

  I would like to recommend you. Use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings and save your data, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
  I'm sure after using the laptop recovery disk will work like a charm again! :)

  Firefox has slow start up & I have the latest version. IE, Chrome, AOL will begin immediately. Firefox takes up to 10 minutes.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  == update to 3.6

  You may need to use questions Troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode (click on "Safe Mode" and reading) to locate the problem. Firefox Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, place you in the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > Themes before start Safe Mode. When you enter Safe Mode, do not check all the items in the window, just click "continue mode without failure." A test to see if the problem you are experiencing is fixed.

  See:

  If the problem does not occur in mode without failure, then disable all your Extensions and Plug-ins, and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via file > restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.

• Windows does not start after the use of CD "" Toshiba Recovery and Applications/drivers ".

  Well my Toshiba Satellite A205-S5814 laptop was very slow and I was getting very frustrated with it, so I decided pop in the CD "Toshiba Applications/Drvers" perhaps to restore my laptop to factory settings and run perfect once again.

  As I was doing this operation and tried fixing it, the thing finished and off the laptop. And when I turned it back on, Windows will now start and give me the Windows Boot Manager screen. My laptop had Vista on it and I even tried to install Windows XP Home Edition on it with a disk I had. But whenever he's going to do, he says he can find t any hard drive? But for sure, there is a hard drive!

  I do not understand what has happened and why this Toshiba drive ruined my laptop. Before I used this drive my laptop has always works and works OK, it has been slow but still booted Vista and stuff ran. Can someone please help me or tell me what to do, I think that Toshiba has messed up my laptop with disc here, and I don't think that we should have to pay so he can get fixed.
  Please help me.

  Hello!

  I don t think that the Toshiba Recovery disk ruined your laptop.

  If I am right on the recovery disk is Vista and it was installed before. I think the installation going something wrong.
  When you get the Windows Boot Manager you can fix your computer? You can reinstall Vista without the recovery disk when you choose this option, then Toshiba product recovery.

  When you install Windows XP, you need a SATA driver. If you don t use one, you will get this error which can t find hard drives.
  You can download it on the Toshiba site and after booting from the XP CD, you must press F6 to load drivers from a floppy external drive or use you nLite to create a disc with drivers.

  Good bye

• Slow start up on my Satellite A660/07U

  I have a Toshiba A660/07u computer. She has 32-bit and 64-bit windows. I prefer to use 64-bit Windows 7.
  The thing is noticed Windows 7 is a good 2 minutes to get to my office. It's desktop in about a minute and then still charges... Meanwhile I can't access what anyone, if I try to access a program (such as ie) it would be insensitive and take a white to recover.

  So overall 1 minute on the desktop (as soon as I press the button) and then another minute on the desktop. Is there something wrong? Others using the template there?

  Or is this model designed only to be used with 32-bit?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Each preinstalled own Toshiba notebook with recovery image has of course, fairly slow start. Is not visible on your laptop only. When I got my Satellite P500 I noticed the same thing.
  This is nothing unusual because software Toshiba engineers have enabled Autostart with Windows for all important and utility tools. Some of them are not so important and can be disabled.

  Antivir (McAffe) preinstalled application can also slow Windows startup, so there is definitely no reason to panic. What you need to do is to configure your Windows. This means remove all applications, you do not need. Disable auto-start for all Toshiba stuff you n t need.
  Also, make sure that the Microsoft updates are not set to the automatic update option. This means that Windows can download all the updates in the background and you will know what is going on. This download and installation can and will slow down the performance of the laptop.

  I recommend choose you option inform me of updates but let me choose... When you do this, you wll be informed of new updates. You can check the updates are listed, and then decide to install immediately, or maybe more later.

  Check this and let us know whether or not the starting time will be reduced.

• Satellite A300-1MV slow slow start-up and ongoing execution place

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-1 mV it runs vista,.
  I have the trial running Mcafee and other preinstalled software that came on the phone. My problem is that the startup of the computer seems to take a ridiculous amount of time to start, once past the ORB of vista, that it says please wait which lasts about a minute until the password request is displayed.

  I had a quick glance in the problemreports in the Panel and concluded that the program of toshiba tempro was hung up at startup so disabled but doesn't seem to have any effect, I also find that when for example you double-click a photo thumbnail to view it, it takes about 30 seconds to appear on the fullscreen allthough, the window appears on the start menu to the low allmost bar immediately.

  I defragmented the hard drive, scandisk, memory checking, virus check etc... I compared it to a friends laptop dell which has less memory, but the same processor spec and vista and that seems to work 10 times faster... any ideas?, I wonder if it is a program of toshiba at the origin of the problem.

  However, I have a problem with acrobat reader from opening on its own and telling me it can't read the file (do not know what file)

  I uninstalled it and reinstalled but still have the same question...! Help!
  See you soon

  Hi @MMoreira,

• 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.
