Soukyuu Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Happy new year!Occasionally, SIB will stall the login process by about 10 seconds for no apparent reason. At first I blamed aeroglass' popup, but the issue only seems to crop up when SIB is active (disabling aero glass doesn't fix it). Uninstalling it reduces the login time from 10+ to 3 seconds. Any idea why? If it helps, I can also hear/see the PC furiously doing something on my HDD (secondary drive, SSD is OS/primary), before Dropbox's initial startup indexing starts.The most frustrating thing is that it's not happening on every login, it even might not be SIB itself but something triggered in conjuncture with SIB being active.
Amigafever Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) After upgrading to SiB+ (1.5.1) and 8.1, I think it feels slower than the previous 8.0 version. When I perfom a search and hit enter, it can take at worst even 3-4 seconds for the menu to close and the program to launch. Doesn't always happen, but it's less responsive than SiB 2.1.2.Tried adding the StartIsBack folder to the antivirus exclusion list (not Defender). Edited January 2, 2014 by Amigafever

stelian88 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Version +1.5.1It's possible again to use both start button and bottom-left corner (if you select non-default start orb).Start menu no longer should be slowed down by Windows icon cacheFixed: UAC dialog may be invisible with specific UAC settingsFixed: Start button may be absent with specific RDP / monitor loginThat Windows icon cache issue is a tricky undocumented beast since it caused implicit unexpected I/O on UI thread; that should be resolved.Icons to programs located on powered off / network / slow drives should no longer delay start menu opening. If you find icons flashing more than they should, please tell me so.why just non-default... ? why not default start orb this is dissatisfaction. would be great to do in the next version.This version is very stable,i have no errors By the way:Included translations - put the Romanian language.startisback+ is full translated into Romanian language Edited January 7, 2014 by stelian88

It is very interesting, because I am observing very similar behaviour, but with StartIsBack 1.3.3 till the latest 2.1.2 on Windows 8 with autologon feature enabled.Sometimes, not on every restart or boot, autologon process stall for a few seconds too.mini PC ASRock Core 100HT-BD 4GB RAMWindows 8 Pro with Media Center, 32-bit version Edited January 8, 2014 by jjiiss
Soukyuu Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I think I have traced the behaviour above back to an incompatibility of my SSD firmware and windows8.1All of the UI would freeze for a few seconds a certain time after the boot up, which lead to it getting stuck at the login screen when SIB was active. The reason why it seemingly didn't appear after I disabled SIB is because the loading time was marginally smaller, so it was past the login screen when the issue occurred. After updating my crucial m4 to the latest firmware, all is fine again.
jjiiss Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I have Kingston SSDNow V+ Series - 128GB (SNVP325-S2B/128GB). For this SSD doesn't exist any firmware update from the manufacturer: http://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/products?model=SNVP325-S2. But I have no feeling that it could be SSD problem. I am very satisfied with this SSD, everything is very speedy. Couldn't it be because I am using Windows Defender? I remember some problems with slowly populating icons in Start Menu when using Windows Defender.
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 yes, the Defender is horrible slow. Never ever use it.

Amigafever Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Where is it?Do the auto-update check within SiB+ and it'll give you the download link directly.
