canadianpsyko Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Since I updated to Windows 8, I've had issues with really slow start up.I've been poking at the boot logging, and while it tells me the section that is slow, I don't see what's causing the slow down.On Win7, I could do a full reboot in under a minute, now I'm waiting over that for just the one step. It feels twice as annoying because it allows me to enter my password while I wait.What should I be looking for?Thanks,Cam

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 WinLogonInit can be GPOs or connecting a network drive.
canadianpsyko Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I have no Group Policies (at least none that aren't just whatever comes set with Windows).Network drive could be a possibility, I'll get rid of them and check.Edit: Network drives removed, no appreciable difference.

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 RequestCredentials is slow:enter the password faster.
canadianpsyko Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks! I'm guessing that's a result of being a Live account? I have noticed that the network indicator in the lower left takes a while to connect. Any thoughts on speeding that up?I could convert back to a local account, but that would be somewhat counter productive.
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 try a second local account and look if this is faster.
