Windows 8 Pro boots slow after windows updates

I have a PC I built a year ago to game, and I've recently updated to Windows 8 by formatting the hard drive and installing Windows 8 Pro OEM on my gaming PC. I installed the OEM version, because I had to get a new drive hard that had nothing installed on it and it needed a new operating system installed on it. It worked fine on Windows 8 for some time, about a month, until I installed updates to Windows that were made available, and after they have been installed, the next time that I turned off and turned on my PC, the startup was significantly longer than the last time. It doesn't when I start now it goes to the black screen with the clear blue windows symbol, but the circle dotted which indicates that initialization is in progress is going much more slowly than before until I installed updates to Windows. It takes about 5 to 8 minutes to start now, where it used to take about 10-15 seconds before start. I checked all my gear and this is very good, and I even ran chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow to check errors of software in a command prompt, but nothing is. Nothing else happens when it doesn't start, another that it starts more slowly than before, no error screens or messages. My computer does not have problems to start, especially for my equipment I have, which is upscale, since this is a gaming PC, compared with the normal work or personal computers, and like I said before, it used to start very well until the last group of windows updates.

Here are the specs
Tough - 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM drive
CPU - AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6 GHz
GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5
Power supply - 600W
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2

Someone at - it solutions, or everyone knows these same questions? I would like to solve this, because it's a huge disadvantage to wait 5 minutes for a simple boot. I don't know what update is causing this, I installed several updates of the same day.

Hi Brett,

I suggest to refer to the article and follow the steps to improve performance on Windows 8 computers:

    Usually, I found that this happens when installing .NET updates - if you give the machine 20 or so minutes to regroup and then restart, the problem disappears usually.

  • Re: Satellite L500D - boot problem after BIOS update

    I downloaded the new version of BIOS (v1.4) official Toshiba site to update my computer Satellite L500D (PSLK0A - 00U009). But after the update, Windows 7 cannot start, Windows logo appears for a while then it restarts automatically. Windows then goes into repair mode. I followed the instructions on the screen to fix. But it does not work.
    When I reinstalled Windows, the computer worked fine until Windows Update told me to restart the computer. The computer dies again.

    I think that this version of BIOS has a problem. I wonder if there is a way to downgrade the BIOS to the earlier version. I found some instructions on the net to use the Phoenix recovery disk, but I have no file disk and BIOS.
    Please Please HELP, very appreciate.

    TKS

    Try to install the OS to help original Toshiba recovery image. After disabling automatic Microsoft updates to install. When you get the message about controlled initially available updates and install important updates only.

    Check it once more to see if the same thing will happen again. Display the results.

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
    After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

    I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

    Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

    See you soon

    Edgard

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
    The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.

    Best regards

  • boot problem after bios update

    I was recently asked to install a new update of the bios on my HP Envy 15.

    After that installing Windows 8.1 is turned on and the version of the bios detected is Insyde F.56

    However, before the update, I had a dual boot by Grub2 and now I am unable to run

    the versions of Linux installed in children partitions on the same drive.

    This version of the bios seems to me to prevent the loading of Grub2.

    Can you help me to solve it?

    That's exactly what I did before:

    (1) linking boot-repair a liveUSB / recommended repair.

    (2) press ESC during startup / press F9 / select Ubuntu in the boot menu / start Ubuntu / run Startup Repair / recommended repair.

    In the case that grub won't load and windows starts.

But the problem is still there.

    I noticed that my MBP is lag when resizing especially web browser windows, type (it is as I already have lots of type of sentences, and it seems the sentences after being frozen) and scrolling.

    I know that it is good to replace the battery, now (as the State of the battery is replace now), but not any time soon because I really need my turn atm and I can't even for apple for a month just authorized service center replace the battery. So is it possible that I can do to fix this? I did research all around the Internet and found out that some guys have the same problem because of the Intel Speedstep but is only exist with the 2011 prior design with Maverick is on (I'm running El capitan on end of 2012 rMBP).

  • PC became slower and slower after installing updates

    Original title: How can I uninstall all updates?

    Soon I updated my pc my pc become slower and slower every day n now when I want to uninstall all updates or want to keep wanted only updates there is no option to remove...

    PLEASE HELP ME.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    After posting the Defragmenter report try some maintenance spare.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

    Hello

    Hmmm what to say. Sounds not good and in my opinion, looks like you have successfully updated the laptop computer with a bad BIOS or something went wrong during the BIOS update process
    Are you sure you used the right BIOS of 110%?

    It seems that you will not be able to fix this problem yourself, without any additional help from the laptop technician.
    In most cases, the BIOS has to be flashed again on the particular way

    For me it s clear, you will need to contact the ASP to get rid of this problem

    Best regards and good luck
