Performance :: Slow Boot Time On SSD And Slow Desktop Icons Loading
Aug 6, 2015I'm using an Intel SSD 240GB 520 series. Always loading very fast, i.e., about 8 seconds from cold boot.
Since windows 10 is installed, boot time is about 20 seconds and desktop icons take some time to refresh and load their images.
Regarding the boot time: I've narrowed it down the an unexplained read/write access on my external HDD eSATA which is used for backups, though currently all backup process are stopped.
When I remove / turn off my external HDD, boot time is about 8 seconds. I can't figure out why all of a sudden it required this access to this HDD.
As for the slow icon refresh.. how to fix this.
Reducing Boot Up Time
Jan 2, 2016Is there an easy way for an older person to get his HP laptop to bypass the welcome screen direct to the desktop in win 10? (I have already managed to stop needing to sign in etc every time I start the thing up).
View 4 RepliesApps :: Time And Weather On Desktop?
Aug 30, 2015I've used desktop gadgets forever to display a clock, a calendar and weather for several cities. I know that gadgets are gone, so I'm looking for a replacement that meets my needs. I'm not optimistic, but perhaps there are solutions I've missed so far.... I need them to appear when Windows startup I want them to be small (not taking up too much of the screen) For weather, I need to be able to have multiple cities open at the same time and not getting in each other's way
View 2 RepliesSlow Boot And Shutdown Time
Jul 30, 201510 doesn't seem to be booting very nicely. What I mean is that it seems to be having a difficult time initilizing my SSD, so upon boot I get a blank black screen for anywhere from 60-180 seconds, where the primary drive activity LED is inactive, before it actually boots. This could be problematic, because I need it to both boot and shut down very quickly since I use my laptop for class; no sleep mode, either, because my system is old and batteries no longer work with my mobo.

Nov 13, 2015I have a PC running Windows 10, but it is taking an unusually long time to boot. It can take more than 5 minutes, even though the boot drive is a 250GB Crucial MX200 with the latest firmware. I know that this is a very vague issue, but if i should provide more info for you, let me know.
My motherboard is an Asus Q87M-E btw.

Takes A Long Time To Boot?
Dec 6, 2015So, I've encountered this issue lately where Windows 10 takes considerably longer to boot than before. (Usually 4 to 5 minutes) It used to boot under 30 seconds before so I don't know what went wrong here.
So, the screen with the Windows logo and loading circle disappears quickly but then it hangs after when a black screen appears with nothing but the mouse cursor(Which can be moved around.) This is the infact main problem, the black screen remains for quite a time before the user screen appears then the desktop. What can cause this problem? Can it be an update, as I never had this issue before neither with Windows 8?
Right Click On Desktop Take Long Time To Show Up?
Aug 13, 2015I have a strange problem where my PC would idle and take a long time for the Contextual Menu to show up when I Right Click on a blank space on the Desktop. It literally take about 10 - 15 seconds for the Menu to show up.
After that it is fast again. Then after awhile it does it again. I don't know what the problem is. I try to do a Clean install of Windows 10 Pro. Wipe everything clean and install it on a 256GB Samsung Pro SSD, and it still does it. There is barely anything on the Contextual Menu so I don't know what the problem is.
Here is my PC Spec.
Intel i7 3.2Ghz
12GB DDR3 12GB RAM
Nvidia 770 GTX
Corsair Liquid Cool
Corsair 850 HX Power Supply
256GB SSD Drive
3TB Hitachi Touro External Drive USB 3.0
Currently I only have a few essential programs install on my PC so don't think it is causing it.
1.) Adobe Master Collection CS6
2.) Microsoft Office 2013
3.) Google Chrome
4.) BitTorrent Por
5.) Skype Desktop
6.) Samsung Magician Software
7.) ShellFolder Fix x64
Icons On Desktop Reset Every Time Relog

View 8 RepliesDesktop Freezing Only One Program Works At A Time
Feb 13, 2016So, beginning the other day my computer has been having this problem where everything becomes unresponsive except for whatever I currently have open.
To explain: When I start up my computer, if I first open up an internet browser, I can no longer click on anything on the desktop or taskbar or anything. If I have multiple programs open, such as my browser, Skype, and Steam, only one of them will ever work. Clicking on any of the others does nothing, and Alt-Tabbing will take me to the different programs, but only one is ever responsive at a time.
A temporary fix (i.e. a 15 second fix) is to CTRL-ALT-Delete into Task Manager, which for some reason allows all the programs to once again work. However, whichever one I go into for more than 10 seconds, that one becomes the only one to work, and the problem persists.
I've done two system restores, but they solved nothing. I even updated to Windows 10 to try and fix it, but no luck. My hope is to not have to do a full factory reset.

BSOD :: Every Time On Boot Machine Get Bad Pool Header
Nov 5, 2015Every since I upgraded to windows 10 and boot my desktop machine I get a BSOD with Bad Pool header. It keeps looping and rebooting with the same error. The only way around it is to go into the bios and save changes and then it allows me to log in. I have disabled fast reboot and still no joy. Attached is a log file with all the relevant info
View 3 RepliesPerformance :: Slow Boot Time And 100% Disk Usage
Nov 16, 2015I've been having this problem for a long time, I've tried resetting my pc to factory settings, didn't work. I tried windows trouble-shooter, didn't work. When I boot I am greeted with a zoostorm logo for about 50 seconds followed by a black screen for 1 minute, and then a windows screen for about 30 seconds. Booting takes about 2-3 mins and even when I'm finally in, my programs load extremely slow and I can only open chrome after a minute otherwise it lags. Remember I have reset my pc so nothing runs on startup apart from steam.
I have a gtx 970 and the latest drivers for it. Also I get 100% disk usage when performing certain tasks. my cpu,gpu and memory never go to such percentage and if they do its because I'm running a very cpu,gpu or ram intensive game. I have not changed anything in my bios since I got my pc and have never done anything to the disk drive (all I know is my HDD is 3tb and has a speed of around 120mb/s) The only thing I have changed on my pc since I got it was an upgrade to windows 10 from 8.1, gtx 970 from a 750ti and a 750w power supply by corsair.
I do not know if this problem happened when I had windows 8.1 but even if windows 10 is the problem there must be a way to fix it as I despise using windows 8.1 anymore. Another thing to note is that loading times for games take a little longer than my friends and my pc is slow at downloading games, my disk usage when installing games is usually 13mb/s and I get 100% disk usage from using 13mb/s. As you can see by this screen shot steam is downloading fallout 4 and 14mb/s of my disk are being used and everything else barely reaches 1mb/s
BSOD :: Flips Out On Boot With A Blue Screen 50% Of Time
Feb 10, 2016My Win10 laptop flips out on boot with a blue screen, right before/after you can see the mouse. It never reboots when it says it will. And it seems to blame my graphics card for this, as Catylitst Controll on logging claims that there is no AMD driver or thats its malfunctioning. I have to reinstall it to get my computer working better than a snail's pace, and for Catylist Controll to reconise it.Will get a dump of the error, just gotta restart a few times, as i accidently deleted the error dump and used disk cleaner.
Edit: Error is: , And the dump: W10LAPTOP-Sun_02_07_2016_134851_47.zip
Boot Loop - 3rd Time After Full Reinstall And A Patch
Jun 18, 2015This is not my main system, but it's still annoying. Full clean install of evaluation build 10074 on this system:
Intel i7 Gen 1
EVGA MB
6x 2GB sticks of ram
Titan X nvidia Card
2x 250GB SSD in Raid 0
After the patch, which I can postpone, but not avoid, I get windows is repairing after update message followed by a reboot.
I have tried the following repair options:
system recovery, no image found... though I did attempt to create a restore point.
Windows Rollback
Refresh PC
startup repair
System Reset
..and whatever other options are on the install disk for repair. I have even installed and that didn't work. The only thing that seems to work is a full reformat of the drives. This happens only after a windows update.
While I would like to see how the new features work, Its not worth having to reformat everything and reinstall on my SSDs over and over. I also use this PC for when guests come over. This has happened to me 3 times. Each time after a full clean install, and each time after a windows patch.
Not Wanted Tile Configuration Showing Full Time In Desktop
Jan 4, 2016Just got a brand new dell computer from store with windows 10 factory installed a week ago. Today the computer became non responsive; I had to reboot it. Once rebooted, the <windows>+<D> no longer works, the display has changed similar to windows 8 (?!?!) and I can't get rid of the tiles in the desktop. What has happened? I am very disappointed with windows. I miss my old computer. What a piece of junk windows 10 is.
View 4 RepliesBSOD :: Long Boot Time Seemingly Random HD Disappearance
Dec 9, 2015Since updating (free, via download) from Win 7 to Win 10 I have had a few problems. I have 3 internal HD: (1) System drive (SSD, 500GB), (2), Media Drive (Seagate 3TB), (3) Documents Drive (500 GB). I also have a USB backup drive that the computer can see.
Seemingly at random, but more usually the Media Drive, doesn't appear when I boot the computer. If I boot the computer and go to BIOS all of the drives appear. Currently the computer in "this PC" recognizes 1 and 3.
Additionally it takes around 5-10 minutes to boot, sometimes hangs and has to be hard reset.
I have had a few BSOD as well, at seemingly odd times. The computer will run with the drives it sees fairly well and eventually BSOD. I should note that sometimes the BSOD is not the one I'm used to from previous Windows installs - it's really just blue with no info.
I have physically reordered the SATA cables (changed the drives to different cables) and this works for a time but eventually the problem persists.
Finally, I thought about doing a clean system install, but was wondering how you do that if you upgraded via free download (i.e. I don't have a disk - there must be an easy solution for that I am sure).

Performance :: Dual Boot Startup Takes Long Time
Oct 28, 2015Started with a dual boot Windows 7 pro / XP HP Elite 8300. Upgraded Windows 7 to 10 and now it seems to take forever for the boot menu to show up. I can hit restart, it shuts down then just sits there doing nothing for several minutes. No hard drive activity, no video just the power light. Then it looks like it reboots and finally displays the boot menu.
With Windows 7 it went through the normal boot process and displayed the boot menu without the dead-in-the-water pause.
Getting Windows Boot Menu Screen Every Time System Is Loading
Oct 20, 2015Recently I've installed Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 17. It had had a preinstalled Ubuntu. When installing Windows, I deleted the Ubuntu partition, leaving only the one for system recovery and the one called DIAGS, I think.
Now everytime the system is loading, for a split second I get the Windows Boot Menu screen that's cut from the top. See : [URL] ....
After that, the system loads just fine. What is it and how do I get rid of it?
