Windows is slow to start

Windows take long at the start that I have windows Xp and my pc is a Hp Pavilion a1340n

Bernabe, if that makes some time you did a 'system' full recovery, it could be a good time to do so.  Over time, install and uninstall programs will leave residue in the 'registry '.  This starts to cause things to slow down.  You can also defragment the hard drive and do a disk cleanup.

    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.

  • Windows 7 slow start

    Recently, Windows 7 has been slow to start for me.  This actually starts after the Welcome screen, not during the part of Windows logo.  It was the Welcome screen would leap upward for a few seconds only and appears then the office.  Now, it stays on the screen of welcome a good 20-30 seconds, the screen goes black for 30 to 40 seconds, and then the desktop.

    I searched online and many people say it's a bad driver, but I don't have installed all the drivers recently.  I ran a ChkDsk and Defragged my system with PerfectDisk 11.  No help.

    My system configuration is a Core i7 clocked at 2.66 GHz, 6 GB RAM, 1 TB HARD drive and an nVidia GTX 260.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Any suggestions on how I can get my system starts up as it did without reinstalling Windows?

    Hi thunderclap82,

    Since the machine used to start properly there are chances that something, like a
    driver or Windows Update or even one of your antivirus/security programs, and/or a program
    you have added in the recent past, caused the problem. Also an interaction more than one driver
    can create these issues so better update the BIOS and all the great drivers.

    Run back through the procedures in my previous post above and if any attempt a repair

  • Windows 7 64 bit, start slowing down, the desktop icons and taskbar of loading very slowly since last week!

    so first, I'll start with my system features:

    Reference Dell Xps15z
    Intel Core i7 - 2640M to 2.8 ghz
    NVIDIA GT525M 2 GB
    8 GB RAM
    Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit
    Samsung PM830 SSD 2.5 "7 GB 218, 42 GB of free
    My laptop is now just a year and plays well outside some blue screen errors that have been fixed. The question now is time to start being significantly slower, especially the loading of the office. It takes 15 seconds to the password screen, to 45 seconds to reach the office and another 45 seconds to the taskbar, icons and things on the desktop to load. What is unusual is that during this black screen, my mouse is displayed, as well as for Advanced System Care 6 performance monitor (I doubt that this is the problem as I had installed for some time). I did the troubleshooting on mine and removed about half of my program without success. I also checked the health and performance of my SSD with SSD and SSD life and both seem to be very positive. I did not any changes to the Bios because I don't want to reinstall my OS and I'm not really sure on workarounds.
    I tried also to the difficulty of the task of explorer.exe, by checking the value of shell in the registry and it is correct, that it just load slowly at the start and each time I kill and then open it again in the Task Manager. Therefore, I think that my main problem is with explorer.exe loading slowly for some reason, I also removed some desktop icons and taskbar, although I doubt that it makes much difference.
    I've also done many scans with malware bytes pro and hitman pro, there is no virus on my computer.
    I appreciate any help, as it is very inconvenient for my more than 90 seconds start time, when he was about 20 when the laptop was new.
    Thank you very much for your help!
    P.S. I have about 60 GB of games installed on my pc via steam, if it makes a difference to delete some

    When my Windows 7 is slow to start, I do the following:

    Start, then in the search box, type of race. In run, type "msconfig"(sans guillemets), and then click OK. ""
    In the general tab, make sure that selective startup is selected.
    Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    Then go to the Startup tab and disable everything except software antivirus and important such as the microsoft. In addition, DO NOT disable any program that you do not recognize.
    This will disable any unnecessary background programs and prevent to launch at startup.
    NOTE: you can still start programs even if they do not start at startup. For example, your favorite game is one of them, and you the disabled. Now, the game does not start at startup, but if you click on the game icon later, it will always start, except maybe a bit slower when it starts. Basically, you are delaying the start of programmes which does not need to start at startup, you move a part of the start-up BACK period. The only programs that you do not disable is programs that actually need to start (like if it starts your computer will blow or something similar).

  • XP with SP 3 is slow to start

    XP with service pack 3 is very slow to start and very slugish

    I checked to see if there is any race in the Task Manager CPU running at 1-3% and nothing seems to be running

    Left click on startr > all programs, it takes 1-2 minutes to load

    I think that my problem started with the addition of AVG 2012 updates

    I run malewarebytes and cleaned the suspects

    The system works well in networks of safe mode

    For any help or suggestion will be appreciated

    AVG has been known occasionally to pipes. You can configure it to run more lean. If no joy, plan to run Avira free Antivirus in its place:

    If you decide to remove AVG, it will be important to run AVG Remover, too:

    Since it is more a question of AVG only a matter of Windows XP, if you want to keep AVG, you'll have better luck posting on the forum of users AVG:
  • Computer has been slow to start, Blue Screen of Death appears and then it restarts.

    Original title: Restart the computer

    Hello

    My old Compaq desktop computer has been slow to start in the morning and recently when I went to turn it on, it got stuck on the boot sequence, and it restarts just after the initial start-up. He never Windows logo or the login screen. I tried to use recovery disks of Lenovo's laptop of my husband as an attempt to get something to work on, but nothing helps, my computer continues to restart loop way. My daughter has tried to do something with the BIOS setting, which did not affect the issue. Rather than restart suddenly, the blue screen of death appears and then it restarts.

    Any help?

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD (sale at retail or OEM integrators), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • computer is slow to start

    Separated from this thread.

    A few days ago I began to receive a pop-up window titled IEWLO forms when I start my laptop.  There is a tab in the lower left corner that reads "Clear Logs", but the window is not stay up long enough for me to click on it.  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.  Is this some kind of malware?  Any information on how to remove/stop this popping up would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I have the same problem and my computer is slow to start, I mean very slow, if I find that I'll let know you, good luck.

    Hello

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
    on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
    strange problems).

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
    for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
    the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Stop Windows 7 to automatically install device drivers

    Turn off Windows Update Device Driver search prompt in Windows 7 / Vista (for the professional, full and Enterprise edition)
    http://www.AddictiveTips.com/Windows-tips/disable-Windows-Update-device-driver-search-prompt/

    ===========================================

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
    first.

  • Windows is unable to start.

    Owner of a Pavilion wa694ua #aba little more than 2 years.  Windows is unable to start.  During windows Startup Manager, I receive a status of: 0xc000000f and info: start the selection has failed because the required device is inaccessible.  What to do next?  I have the recovery disks, but is not no longer works.

    Your hard drive may have failed and must be replaced. Enter the BIOS by typing/holding the F10 key immediately after switching on the laptop. Use Diagnostics to test your hard drive.

  • LAUNCH WINDOWS WITHOUT ASSISTANCE CANNOT START

    I have a Pavilion p6347c running Windows 7.  He plays very well, but, since yesterday, I am unable to run windows without pressing ESC and by selecting the manual start option.  It happened from one moment to another.  This has happened every time since the problem began.  I've removed the new software I had installed a few hours before, it crashed; but I am still unable to start windows without a manual start.  Once, just before the screen went black, I think the system was pouring out and I saw a guest who doesn't say 'NO DISC SYSTEM.'

    I tried to use the default system drive, but it did not work.  It works only when I select the first drive listed when you press ESC to start, which has a bunch of letters and numbers.

    Someone told me that it might have something to do with my BIOS which might have gotten corrupted.  Does anyone have an idea how this can be fixed?  Appreciate any assistance.

    I've tried several things, but what actually works, it of that I rebooted, press F10 to go in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings of the system, then F10 to save and exit. That worked for me and my system is now Purring like kitten. Good luck.
