automatic. This is already down on your system.
It was set to 'delayed' on my system (perhaps installation of SP1 changed the original value?), but in any case, I re-booted a few times with alternating values (automatic vs. automatic delayed) and it appears as if there's no noticeable difference in overall startup time, so in the end I set it, as you suggested, to (non-delayed) auto.
I also finished the other steps (installing the 3 hotfixes, then running the 6-times reboot/defrag optimization cycle) and my startup significantly decreased, although it's hard to say what exactly caused the improvement. Even before installing any of the hotfixes, just after a booting a few times, the startup time went down a lot, to 1 min. When I then installed the hotfixes it actually increased it again, and then, after the optimization/defragmentation, I'm down to about 1 minute, which is what I wanted. Thanks!
Here's the weird thing though: it fluctuates, quite a bit actually. Without installing any new programs or changing any settings, I just rebooted a few times, and at one time, I get a startup time (until start of explorer) of 50 secs, then, for no apparent reason, it takes 1:20. That's still kind of fast enough for me, but now I wonder what could be the reason for that.

Your boot prefetcher (ReadyBoot) is completely broken and doesn't work the way the prefetcher should. This casues the HDD to be busy all the time:
Install the hotfixes from here:

and optimize the Prefetcher:
Thanks, going through the steps. Will report back if (and how much) it improves. One follow-up question though: should Superfetch be set to automatic start or automatic (delayed)?

compress the etl file with 7Zip to a 7z archive and upload the 7z file. I'm German so I can read it

Hey.
I'm completely new to this forum, but my first impression is that you people are doing great work. I can hardly say thanks enough for the time and effort the contributors seem to put into helping others out.
In any case, here's my problem: I'm using Windows 7 Professional, 64 Bit, SP1, on a Thinkpad SL510. Not the fastest machine, but good enough. Until a few days ago, my startup time was around 1 minute, perhaps a bit above. Then suddenly, it increased to close to 3 minutes, and I can't tell why. I tried to un-install some programs that I thought caused trouble, updated my graphics driver, and finally ran Performance Analyzer, but I still can't tell what causes the delay.
Is there any chance someone could take a look at my files? If so, what should I upload? the .xml, the .etl (~400MB), or both?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I'm using the /German/ version of the OS, so some of the names in the log might not be immediately understandable to non-German users.

Yeah, I was afraifd you would say that I kind of like Avast, so I guess I have to live with that delay. And a startup of 1 minute is quite good, I guess. Thanks again for helping me out here!
