Thanks for helping investigate, Sarris. And thanks for the link Rod. I'll do some more investigating on our end to see if we can find anything that stands out.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4#6 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 06:15:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4#6 DisplayFusion FYI - a good article on locating the cause of W7 slow booting:

1. My boot to desktop with only Classic Star Menu, MSE, & Win7 Sidebar = 28 sec.

2. If I add DF with Hooks on = 1 min 10 sec.

3. App hooks off = 48 sec.

I've started using Glary Utilities to modify the startup order and stagger delay all startup programs but the 3 noted in #1.

As I said, no big deal for me as these are little piss ant delays and my HW is fast. I just thought you'd like to know.

Regards and thanks;

Try disabling the Application Hooks in the Advanced Settings, then reboot again and see if it's still slow? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4#3 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:09:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4#3 DisplayFusion Hi Keith;

It makes no difference on or off. I just put DF on a 30 sec. delay and it loads without issue right after boot completes. I put all my big programs (Skype, ObjectDock, and a couple of security programs) on a few second staggered delay in the task scheduler. I seem to get a much better Windows boot and it only adds a minute or two. There really is no need for Windows to try to load everything all at once. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4#2 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:09:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4#2 DisplayFusion Would you be interested in troubleshooting this further? I'd like to try and narrow it down to a specific feature if possible. Could you try disabling the DisplayFusion taskbar, then reboot and see if it still starts up slowly?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 12:18:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-slows-boot/?ID=0fcb5d7f-aac0-4d83-85c7-7e26fbb787e4 DisplayFusion FYI, no response required;

The last couple of betas seems to have noticably increased my boot time. I took DF off autostart and put it in the task scheduler on a 60 second delay, and problem goes away.

Other than that, no other issues.

As always, great work & thanks.
