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.

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!

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.

Ok, would you be able to try one more test? Try disabling the Application Hooks in the Advanced Settings, then reboot again and see if it's still slow?

Here's what I know, I'm using Win 7 x64 w/ 32 gb ram & Glary Utilities Boot Timer:
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;

FYI - a good article on locating the cause of W7 slow booting:

Ok, interesting! 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!
