budgoz Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hello Andre,Thanks for sharing this helpful guide and for you work!This method reduced of about 30 seconds my boot time, but it's still a bit high (more or less 2.30 minutes).I've completed a boot trace and I would be very grateful if you could have a look at it. http://www.mediafire.com/?sgt4pxuqce971gx(I run it twice, the first time with drivers and I get the bugcheck, the second time without drivers).Note:1) I had to enable the auto logon creating the registry string, but even before it was pretty slow.2) the entire HD is protected by TrueCrypt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hd7970 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi I used to be able to run this but now I get the "gave up waiting for virtual prefetcher after 300 seconds" message after the first boot. I managed to get all 6 reboots by changing the SysMain reg key start value to 0 but have now learnt that by doing that it just basically runs through the boots but is a waste of time because it doesn't do anything after you change it. Does anyone think they can help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone think they can help?After the 2nd run you should get a message that the system is optimized. At this point the defrag.exe runs ans optimizes the boot.Is there anything I can do here? (As you have already understood it's a company lapotop).contact the IT admin and ask him which GPOs they apply and he should try to optimize (run them asynchronously if possible, don't use logon scripts) them.

Could there be something more that needs to be turned on? I have even tried this http://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/283057-solution-gave-up-waiting-win7rtm-physical-prefetcher-problem.html but it doesn't seem to fix it. Its also where I found that changing Sysmain start value is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewpcs Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi Andre,I followed your guide but I cannot see anything in the summary XML file pointing me to the slow WinlogonInit duration.It is over 5 minutes before the Desktop will appear.Here is a link to the boot trace if anyone can help me out. https://www.dropbox.com/s/927metgg34jdefd/temp2.zipThe computer is part of a domain but it does not look like the group policy is the problem and I have already removed all networked drives.Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

hd7970 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 HI Enableprefetcher and EnableSuperprefetcher are both set to 3 EnablebootTrace is set to 0 though I don't know if that is right. Also how can I find out if the windows defrag is disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Look under services.msc is you disabled the defrag service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hd7970 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I went into services and disk defragmenter was set to manual but had not been started I had to right click and click start to turn it on. should it be set to manual or automatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 this is ok. Does the service start if you run defrag.exe your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
