Windows 7 slow to start desktop

Windows 7 Performance. Sign in to vote. Hi, I know this has been brought up by other people, but each case seams to be unique as far as I can tell. Any help or advice on curing this problem would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Chris. Thursday, May 2, PM. I think it's Kaspersky that's the cuprite here. Thanks for your help Aaron and ZigZag Tuesday, May 7, PM.

If you are being told you cant post a link, or embed a picture or any other restriction you just need to post to this thread saying your account has not been validated. Thanks ZigZagx. Friday, May 3, AM. Glad it worked Did you post what you needed to? Friday, May 3, PM. Monday, May 6, PM. If that still doesn't work then it's probably another background process Device Manager reporting any issues?

Check hard disk space. Unplug devices, if possible. Fenderblast From eventvwr you net framework is failing to initialize and waiting until the timeout is reached. Fenderblast Doesnt surprise me a bit glad you got it sorted out.

I am frustrated and fed up with Windows DA. Thursday, August 22, PM. Hi, I had the same problem. You could go through your system tool by tool and remove the offending software, but you might want to keep the underlying tool around and just prevent the helper from loading. This and more can be accomplished through the use of MSconfig, a tool that has long been a part of Windows.

MSconfig allows you to selectively disable startup items and take other steps toward improving overall system performance. From the Startup tab Figure A , you can disable items. Just be careful about what you choose. I've long felt that Microsoft's OEMs sometimes actively work against the Redmond behemoth and sully the company's name.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of what has become known as "bloatware. Frankly, this is one of the reasons that I believe that Microsoft's Surface announcement, in which Microsoft noted that it would make its own device, is brilliant. The company needs to start with a clean slate in some ways no pun intended. If your PC shipped with a bunch of stuff you'll never use, get rid of that software. If the software adds items to the startup process, getting rid of it will make the PC start faster and, ultimately, perform better overall.

If you're running Windows, you need to be running an anti-malware program to keep viruses and spyware off your system. Nothing will ruin good performance like a boatload of spyware.

My personal favorite and free! In my experience, it's been successful in catching bad stuff while not significantly degrading system performance itself. How much RAM do you have? Is your system consuming all or most of your RAM? Does the system page out to disk? If so, you're suffering a massive performance hit, which can be solved by adding more memory to your PC. Greg Shultz explains how to do this by using Resource Monitor. Solid state is all the rage these days, and with good reason.

It's fast! More and more laptops and even desktops are moving to the technology because of the performance benefits. Solid state disks use memory cells from which data can be read very quickly, as opposed to the relatively plodding nature of rotational storage.

Step 2. In this demonstrator, there is unallocated space behind the C drive. Then, right-click the partition here is C drive you want to extend and select "Resize Partition". Step 3. In the pop-up window, position the mouse pointer on the right border of the partition and drag the border rightwards to extend the partition.

Then click "OK". If there's no unallocated space beside the partition, you could not drag the border. Step 4. Then it will back to the main interface and you could preview the C drive that has been being extended. Click the "Apply" on the toolbar to commit the operation. Partition misalignment is another very common reason why Windows 7 runs slow.

It causes slowdowns in performance. You can set partition 4K alignment in this mini window. Usually, we recommend the " Sector". And click "OK" to continue.
