Hi. I need some help. My Windows 8 boots very slowly. From bios to loading screen, around 30 seconds, from loading screen to desktop (skipping metro aps with start 8 program) aroun 35 seconds. All in all, 65 seconds from BIOS to desktop, and 15 second to full responsiveness of windows, that is around 80 seconds, and that is too long. I disabled most of starting programs in msconfig, put no GUI boot, enabled all cores and memory, disabled all Microsoft services. No luck. Then I found your tutorial, and I did step one, I enabled quick boot. But loading time is the same, whether I restart or shutdown the computer. Pls help if u have any suggestions. Thanks.

Also you may want to test your hard drive as well. Even if your computer is new there is always that possibility that it could have gone bad

I tested bioth hard drives with hard disk sentinel, health and performance are on 100 percent.

Morning Fi. I had a similar situation. A few seasoned members started me down the path to tracing boot issues. I dont have all the answers, but check my post for suggestions. Its a good start

Disconnect all usb devices and see if your bootup is faster.

You can reconnect them one by one until your boot slows again..

web cams and network discovery can slow your system boot..

Are you connected to a local network, you may want to connect manually vs automatically..

Start with your internet disconnected see if that makes a difference...

Hej zemljak, Download Boot Racer program, install it and it will tell you which program or process is taking longest. Also in the Task Manager, under Startup, in Startup Impact column it will tell which one has most impact during the boot. You can also disable all the startup items and see what happens.That's all in the addition of turning of internet connection during boot time like man said, turning off automatic updates might help too.

fala brte :)
Updates are disabled. Ill try that. Is there any significant difference between Windows 8 basic and pro version?
Pomislio sam da mi možda 'narodna' verzija koja se skida sa neta pravi problem, jer sam odabrao pro.

Ako je dobra pro verzija i dobro izlečena nije nikakav problem. I kod mene je pro, bez WMC. U bazičnoj nema pola stvari.

Užas. Nego vidi. Imam dva harda. Jedan je od 250 GB, drugi od 2TB, s tim što je ovaj od 250 gb dosta stariji. Na manjem mi je sistem, i to sam stavio da bih mogao brže da kopiram iz donwloads direktorijuma na storage hard (ovaj od 2 TB). Navodno su oba harda na 100, 100 u hard disk sentinelu. E sad, pre ovoga sam imao win 7 i dešavalo mi se da kad mi podigne sistem, zamrzne mi se slika na desktopu i to baš kad se digne sistem. Kada resetujem, sve bude normalno. Nikakvih drugih problema nije bilo. Baš zbog toga sam stavio osmicu, jer sam mislio da je do sistema. Ali sad mi se dešava isto. Posle loading screena, zamrzne mi crn ekran (ranije je ulazio na desktop, a sad ne dođe do desktopa). Čim resetujem, sve bude ok. Čudan neki problem i očito nije do windowsa. Da nije to možda zbog tog starijeg harda? Možda zato i sporije butuje. Jedino što mi pada na pamet da probam da vratim na hard od 2 TB sistem, jer je brži i noviji hard.

Ako misliš na "Stariji" IDE onda to stvarn može da pravi probleme. Ja imam SSD ali držim neke stare filmove i muziku na starijim 40, 80 i 250 GB diskovima i kada ih priključim da skinem nešto onda sve uspori užasno. Istestiraj te diskove da nemaju možda loše ili "lazy" sektore. Vidi ako možeš da nabaviš SSD disk, preporodićeš se.
Neznam dali znaš za naš forum "www.benchmark.rs" ili na PCberzi, bilži su za pomoć. Upiši se tamo naći ćeš me pod imenom "CountMike" i "Count".

Have to continue in English, admin told me to.
Anyway, try the steps I told you about, one by one. If it's not a bad copy of Windows, has to be one of those things.

Which is that HDD of 2TB ? Is it in one partition ?, if not partition it with the first one of about 120GB, and put system on that one. I was not able to get to boot faster than about 90 seconds on a 1TB WD Green.. It takes more than 2 minutes on an old 160BG hard disk. here on an SSD it takes 14 seconds with hibernate disabled and usual bunch of startup programs. Avast, CCC. McShield, NetMetar. Google Talk and MemInfo. This not the best SSD out there, it's a Kingston V300 with 505 FW, 506 FW is even worse. My internet is WiFi and it connects even before the boot is completed.

Well, u have SSD. I have two partitions on 2TB, one of 250 GB, so Ill put system on it, and see if it will boot faster. But it is Hitachi, same speed as WD green. I dont want to waste money on SSD (I know its nice, but still), i want 120 Hz monitor, and I found it for 250 euros that I dont have in this moment ;)

Had problems with admins on Bench too, that yoyo is an idiot and stilgar even worse, vas laughin at me vhen I told him I had an 3850 at 5GHz. under air and when I sent him CpuZ he said I photoshoped it. He can't keep his on4.5 and thinks that he is the best.
