Post your Windows 7 Boot Time (tweaks allowed)

Yeah it was fun to play with. Interesting.

Have you tried bootracer? should be good too. Haven't tried it yet.

 

I'll take a look at that tomorrow. 4 hrs past my bedtime.

 

Took me 37 secs.

My machine has been totally cleaned up in terms of services and startup programs (Only RMclock and AVG start) and HDD is very empty and defragged at all times.

Problem is takes about 20 secs to get to the beginning of loading windows. And occasionally that hangs for about 15-20 secs(before I see the flashing windows emblem.

 

Bootracer is quite good. I use it instead of boottimer now.

 

The 32sec is after installing all of my programs. I get about 15-17 seconds too after a clean install. I will give superfetch and prefetch a shot tonight. The longest part of my boot up is the "welcome screen" which is about 7-10 seconds. If I disable audio services the welcome screen gets cut down to 2-3 seconds. I have auto login and disable boot gui at start up.

 

With a slow HDD and no tweaks. (All MS services starting up, 14 non-MS services and 17 items in the startup tab on msconfig)

 

I ran bootimer a few times and the lowest I got was 23 seconds. My system has Antivirus and quite a few other startup programs. Taskmanager shows 94 processes at the moment. Specs in sig.

Edit: With my old 640 GB WD Scorpio Blue hard drive (that had 100GB more free space left in it than my XT), boot times were reported as 105.

 

I'm upgrading to SSD soon =p but right now it's 48.

 

40 sec.

Specs in sig.

 

P7805 full bootup, Bootracer to me represents more of the system as you would tweak and actually use it rather than just a specialized tweak for boot.............

 

Seagate Momentus XT

 

pretty good for a hybrid disk

 

More than pretty good.....that is a phenomenal time for a magnetic disk

 

time to logon 19

time to desktop 36



momentus xt other than that the same hardware as you

 

Rest of your specs? Did you do anything special?

That's literally 4x faster than my bootup lol and I'm already planning on getting one in Jan./Feb.

 

Thanks to Phil, I've tried out both BootRacer and Soluto. I'm really enjoying playing with Soluto and how easy it is to make changes. I don't think there's a way to keep it from running, but it's been fun.

 

that's a clean install on a Acer 1830t (330um) with some of the tweaks mentioned in this thread applied. and then rebooted five times after each other.

 

When I install it ,around 28 sec,but after several months,50 sec

 

Lol, my W7 boot time is somewhere between enough time it takes to pee and the time it takes to get up to make a bowl of cereal and getting back in time to see the last app load WD3200BEVT with T7600 in an NC8430.

Hopefully it will go down to around the time it takes to blow my nose and throw the used tissue away when I get my 8510W from SoulSaver then drop this Seagate 750gb 7.2k rpm HD in it

 

Bootracer showed me 16 seconds. I don't see that unblock choice in the properties for Boottimer so that I don't have to confirm running as admin. It gave me 24 point some seconds, but I didn't click yes right away. With or without the GUI boot still showed me 16 seconds on Bootracer. Does that only affect your boot time if it is ridiculously fast?

 

This new startup, Soluto, does a nice little breakdown of what programs take what amount of time during boot. It's in BETA; semi-useful, but more for beginners.

 

Is a Dell D410 + HM160C with a fresh install boot time of 30 seconds fast or slow ?

 

Just my normal startup, no excessive tweaks here. Specs are in sig.

 

20 seconds with the laptop in my sig.

XT cut it in half.

edit: I'm trying soluto. I haven't really "optimized" this startup and I don't repeatedly restart my computer so it isn't caching a lot I assume.

edit: On a second reboot i got 15 seconds.

 

The more you boot the more the XT will "learn" and get faster

 

Yeah, I try not to do it too much because I'm fine with 15-20 second boot times and I'd prefer it caches chrome and other programs.

 

The cache is not permanent. It is dynamic and changes depending on what you do.

 

No tweaks

 

No tweaks or nothin', just my standard bootup. By the time I reach the login stuff I'm already in the desktop so I guess the 18 seconds is what it takes to load everything?

 

My new P79xx and C2Q from my old P7805 config............

 

1 minute dead. 7200rpm drive on a G73JH, and 7 start-up programs including Rainmeter and its configs.

 

New Lenovo X220 with a 160GB Intel G2:

 

Got exactly the same numbers with the laptop in my sig. Just normal bootup.

 

Here are my scores with different settings...

1. Diagnostic startup (load basic devices and services only)
2. Diagnostic startup + no gui
3. System services all enabled
3. System services all enabled + some startup items

You will see that changing the settings did not help much. I conclude this boottimer.exe is not a useful program, other than the compettiton and fun...

I need to know how much faster my computer becomes ready to use, I don't care for boottimer values. The mouse cursor becomes idle at the 25-26 second mark on my laptop. I would like to know if that can be shortened... Please share your real world boot times...

 

Didn't get a screeny but 16.5 seconds. Pretty damn good, that's with Comodo and Mamutu at startup.

 

A few tweaks but nothing major, this is on my ThinkPad T420 + Intel 510 SSD.

 

Really good actually

 

33 seconds, off a Vertex 2 SSD.

I'm disappointed, it used to be a lot faster. Then I went on holidays for 2 weeks without once turning the PC on and suddendly boot time was a lot longer.
Unsure why... but I did a few things today that will help speed it up.

(Core i5-760, 4GB RAM)

 

damn... really????????????

 

Without any tweaks:

 

0 seconds, I never turn it off.

 

It's been about a year and a half since I've had my SSD and over that time it has only gotten 1.6 seconds slower. I think that's acceptable.



Check out the hours on. That's an average of 8 hours a day!

 

Best so far on the Clevo. Used the usual SSD optimization guide tweaks.
