Post your Windows 7 Boot Time (tweaks allowed)

Others are avast and the blue tooth software!
Thanks for the help!

 

I personally don't use Steam, but generally speaking, apart from my Antivirus (MSE), nothing else is starting up with the OS.

Since I use an Acer laptop, I simply removed all of it's programs (sans the needed drivers).

 

That startup file is amazing... If you are not using a program, IMHO, there is no need to allow programs to continually run in the background. You might chuckle at this but here is mine...

IGFXPers/Sidebar/IntelAHCI and MS Security Essentials.

MSE, for what its worth, is the best program for keeping a low boot time and tying up very little of your system resources. Some anti-virus programs that most rely heavily on easily add 10-45 seconds to start time and run very heavy in the background.

Another key element is turning off ALL automatic updaters as they add tons of time to the boot.

 

31.245 secs

 

Ok Ok I see! I tried that, pretyt much took everything off but OSD/GPU driver and Alienware OSD, got a boot time a little under 30 secs. About 20 seconds faster than before. Gracias!
Aiming at 15 sec with my SSD

 

The only way u r getting that low is with a frsh install....

 

Well since I'll have to do a fresh install when I get my SSD, I guess I could!

 

100GB Vertex LE

 

Why don't you try a No GUI boot?

 

No GUI boot...

 

O_O

Holy smoookes! That is fast!
I managed to get mine down to 20secs on regular boot, but 9s.. Its madness!

 

8.97 sec
And it could boot even faster...
I didn't uncheck all the startup items
I didn't touch most of the services that I normally use

 

And with a little more tweaking.... 8.174

 

ouch ....... i wonder how fast this baby would be with a no gui boot

what are you hdd dual ssd in raid 1 or 0 ?

 

single SSD and yes this is with no gui on boot

 

Ya and what did that ssd cost again eheheheh? Nice score...

 

hehe an arm and a leg actually and more than two SSDs RAIDed that would give better results...

 

For optimising boot performance and diagnosing issues, use windows performance toolkit available with the win 7 sdk supplied by MS

Seems to perform tasks similar to bootvis, but for win 7

 

No tweaks



tweaked

 

@sgilmore62
Those times are on the Qosmio with the X18-M or with the RAID desktop setup?

 

This thread seems to be forgotten and sgilmore62 is approaching my previous score, so here is a new record that needs to be broken

7.378 sec

 

I downloaded the boot timer but for some reason it won't run, when I go to run it it says that it has to restart the computer to measure boot time, I select yes and it restarts, when the system restarts it doesn't display the boot time.

I have reloaded the program several times but doesn't want to work, any suggestions?

I am running windows 7 home premium.

 

try first to Change User Account Control Settings (never notify) reboot then run the program as administrator and select not to ask you everytime when this program is to be executed.

you have to do the procedure quite a few times (try to experiment with the startup items and services for better boot times)

*EDIT*
Forgot to mention that you have to disable the UAC just for the purposes of this test, after you finish you have to enable it for security reasons

 

Ok thanks that worked, I will have to experiment for a better boot time, mine is 43.009 seconds.

+ rep

 

in case someone didnt see it here my boot time with ocz vertex-win7 ultimate x64 after fresh format

 

If a moderator or someone else could update the list with the boot times and update the first post it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

*EDIT*
This is the list with those who posted a screenshot in this thread

Ummm I posted a better score with the new drive...eheheh

 

Boottimer is not working for me with Win 64 bit. Any tips?

Done. You're welcome.

I'll include your fastest time.

 

10.951 Intel X-25V

 

I see you got it working...

Post deleted.

 

45.287 sec on WD3200BEVT. One day I'll have that SSD

 

this seems like fun

here is my time before tweaks


after


that's the best i could do for now

 

I have updated the scores on my post

 

Hmmmm Getting a new Sandforce controlled drive in the next week or so...guys are makin this a tough one eheheh. Lucky for all I am away for the rest of the month and cannot touch it.

 

Les, is there any chance to go lower than 7 sec? if yes let me know so I can take my measures... I can drop the time a little bit

 

I havent seen anyone lower than what we have attained yet....

Im just foolin a bit about being in 3rd eheheh.

 

please i want the third place again

 

Aristotel, please copy and update the list in your post.

Maybe it's a good idea everyone mentions his/her CPU and SSD.

The third place is yours, I have updated the list
http://forum.notebookreview.com/6331329-post176.html

 

i think you are refering to StamatisX. by the way except the cpu and ssd i believe the win7 version (home premium to ultimate) is also good to be posted.

 

I agree about the CPU and SSD. About the Win version, since those times were achieved under heavy modifications to the OS it won't make any difference if it's home professional or ultimate.

For the SSD and CPU I can add them as long as those in the list PM me with the information.

 

Considering the computer uses ~1.30Gb of Ram with nothing open, I consider it a respectable time.....21.184 seconds

 

Score list updated
http://forum.notebookreview.com/6331329-post176.html

 

Getting some Momentus XT's. One for the U-81a and two for a Raid0 in my P7805-FX. I think I should be able to lower my times somewhat then.

 

well not in my case. the only thing i did was the tweaks for ssd. so as for windows services i disabled only search and defragment according to ssd tweak guide. and i use Ultimate

Stamatisx i dont use the two ssds in RAID 0 but in Ahci for the time being (because of no trim support for raid enabled drives). so please correct this in your list.

 

Anyone who wants to add or update his score please copy the whole list and add it to your post.

How do you boot faster then 20 sec?
Only the bios loads 15 sec here. (T410)

 

The BIOS posttime isn't included in Boottimer.exe
