Has anyone here experienced slow program launch times? I've been running Windows 8 since launch date and while I have my share of complaints, being slow isn't one of them.
I haven't touched any system settings or anything but I have experienced a pretty drastic (comparatively) increase in launch times for programs. I have a Samsung 830 256GB. I have it provisioned so that I only see 200GB and I am only actively using 30GB of it. I have Windows 8 to optimize the drives daily and trim is enabled.
All of a sudden, after a month without any kind of problems, Chrome and OneNote are extremely slow to load. By extremely I mean that it is no longer instantaneous. My computer is a older Core 2 Duo, 2ghz laptop with 4gb Ram. However, I could click on Chrome and OneNote and it will be open, pretty much instantaneously. I'm not sure what happened but they are now taking 3-5 seconds to launch.
I know this sounds incredibly nitpicky and is the very definition of a first world problem but when you go from instantaneous to 3-5 second startups, that is a +100000000000% increase in startup time. I've gotten incredibly spoiled by the SSD. I'm wondering if Windows no longer stores the programs in RAM when I exit from it but it should, since they are among the top 5 most used programs on my computer.
