What the hell is is waiting for ?

My Windows 7 machine has a fairly good processor and enough memory. It cold boots in less than a minute. But from this moment, it takes it from 5 minutes to reach full reactiveness. Yes, I said 5 minutes. I mean before it responds to a single click in less than, say 30 seconds ! Yes, I said 30 seconds. The interesting thing is that when I look at the performance meter, the PC is essentially... idle, close to 0% CPU all that time. So what the hell is it waiting for ?? [Don't misunderstand me, I am not looking for a solution. I have been amazed (if not irked) by this behavior since years, through the different versions of Windows. Seems to be a chronic disease.]

A million services that all want to start at startup because they all think they're important (when in reality you need maybe 10% of them) and a fair number of auto-updaters (of which you need zero). They'll all be 100MB+ because no one knows how write non-bloated code anymore and they'll be loaded simultaneously in order to create extra seek latency.

Right, my machine is currently hosting 115 services and the same number of processes. They must be waiting for a President to be elected among them...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

- check your startup , is there any thing new 2) start , Run (window + R) ----> type msconfig -----> goto Startup tab , untick what ever you dont need at startup 3). Stop unnecessary service like windows media player network sharing service etc.

To be fair it is probably 50 services and 950,000 applications the user chooses to have ready to go.

Geez man, what can I say, since I have an SSD and Windows 8, my machine goes from cold boot to ready to use in 9 seconds! I found that slow too! ;P

Merry Xmas, YvesDaoust, In addition to inspecting, and possibly turning off, start-up programs/services, you might also consider: 1. defragment your hard drive, if you have not done that already: if you have, and that makes no difference in boot-time, proceed to step #2. I use Puran Defrag (free version) to defragment about once every ten days to three weeks. 2. and/or: open your 'Computer folder: right-click on your boot-drive, open the Properties Tab: open the Tools Tab: click the 'Check Now' button: check both "Automatically fix file system errors," and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors." Then re-boot, and be prepared to wait a long time while the boot drive is scanned for bad sectors, and (hopefully) any bad-sectors are "fixed." An alternate to #2: using sfc /scannow from a command prompt: see: [^]. yrs, Bill
"We live in a world ruled by fictions: mass merchandising, advertising, politics as advertising, instant translation of science, technology, into popular imagery, increasing blur of identity in realms of consumer goods, preempting any free, original, imaginative, response to experience by the television screen. We live in an enormous novel. For a writer it's less necessary to invent a novel's fictional content: fiction's already there. A writer's task is to invent a reality." J. G. Ballard, 1974

Problem: You dont have a SSD ;p Solution: Get one. Even 128GB is enough for OS/apps.

Is it running an app on startup that wants to make a network connection (to an unresponsive site)? /ravi
