im currently experiencing a longer boot time for no real reason. After a fresh install i did all the usual junk. finally i decided to run a registry clean, then update my experience score. Rebooted everything was fine, then cam back after i went out & bootup took 3 times longer! I have a very powerful system & u can imagine the frustration of having to wait after it only took about 30seconds to boot b4.
I dont suspect the registry clean, all it did was remove reference to some files i had deleted hours earlier but i could be wrong.
Luckily i had made a full backup before i ran the reg cleaner etc so ill have a try at restoring & see if it happens when i do nothing to it.
p.s i had disabled some services first thing but not sure that would do anything about 2 hours afterwards.
after emptying it i get a realy short boot time but expanded logon time 2 min almost. But when i restore those files i get really long boot time & short logon???
i'm having same kind of issue [posted in performance]
i have two start up entries [sidebar and rocketdock], so it's not like my machine is getting crippled under crap starting up.. and even if it was my machine isn't a sloth.
I find the boot time is slooow at the screen where you get the "loading" animation bar. It takes a good 30 secs.
I wondered if there was some kind of CHKDSK going on, but it seems i have driver issues - although all my drivers are vista, and all my hardware works. so.
although you might only have 1 or two *applications* starting up, you will also have tons of services starting up - and if you have added items to the task scheduler, for example (weekly scans / daily scans, etc) then those will be adding processes to the services as well.
I highly recommend that you get Process Explorer and see what is *really* running on your system.
