Windows 7 very very slow at booting up !

[Swiftie]

Ive been reading all over the internet millions of people complaining about shit boot times with windows 7, and yes they are right, shit boot times, i know you will always get some people that say its working fine but i bet they have a lightweight computer, i bet its just a very very basic machine and not much hardware etc, in those situations any operating system will boot fast, but in a bit of a heavy duty rig like mines as far as i can see windows 7 dont like to boot up quickly, after it boots its just fine, so i dont know if this is yet just another piece of shit that microsoft have produced without working on it properly, with the amount of people complaining about it all over the internet it seems like a bit of a dud on the booting issue

Sorry but I have to disagree with you purely coz I'm not a lightweight user as you so called it. My rig is used daily as a number of things. & the boot up is blazing, <40secs

And as for the rest of use once fully loaded. It's flying and no complaints there. Only criticisms I have is for when I'm rendering something. But I know that's more to do with my GFX cards rather than the actual OS.

But anyways, good luck in getting your setup working up to par.

my setup is fine mate, just this windows 7 ultimate x64 that something isnt right with, before any system drivers or any other stuff is installed it boots in like 45seconds and thats with full windows aero graphics and everything on, then after taking all the windows imporatnt updates and latest drivers for my hardware from my component manufacturers websites, thats when windows starts to boot longer in like 1 minute 15 seconds or so, could be problems with microsoft and hardware drivers for some stuff, looks like that to me, in other words, its not thoughrouly tried and tested as usual with microsoft, bunch of bellends. grrrrrrrrrrrr...

Surely if its a driver issue then the fault lays with the manufacturer of so called hardware to update their drivers to work with the operating system. It's been like that for many years now. I remember for example when Vista came out NVIDIA went through many dodgy drivers. That's why Microsoft will RTM and then do the public official release a Month or so down the line. To give the manufacturers a chance to get things working.

The drivers that you're installing now are they for Vista or Win 7?
