    Hi, I have a i5 HDD 2.5ghz 6gb of ram .. * Visual Studio 08 / 2015 Sql Server Express * Office * A few other tools etc .. My computer can take up to 10mins to boot. I just did a re-install of Win 7 but the updates have me to a crawl again. I was wondering if anyone has an i7 w/ SSD ??? If so how long does it take for your computer to boot up and get VS 15 running with Sql Express Service etc.. Thinking of getting another computer and trying to figure out how much difference it will make with 256 SSD w/ 6 or 8GB ram .. Thanks in advance !

      You would have been better asking this in the lounge. This has nothing to do with C#.

        This isn't a C# question, but ... I have a dual core E6700 based PC @ 3.2GHz with 4GB ram, and a 1TB SSD, running Win10 It boots in under a minute, and loading VS2015 (with a project) takes less than a minute - VS2013 was a lot quicker. If your SSD is taking 10 minutes to boot Win 7 then that's slow - this computer didn't take that long before I fitted the SSD - but your hardware specs are a load higher than mine! I'd look at what apps you have loaded, or do a malware check. I have heaps of stuff installed, and mine boots at the kind of speed I'd expect.

          I agree with OG, and suggest that you run a rootkit/boot sector scan (as you mentioned a re-install). Your computer should have enough beef to boot and run VS properly. Other likely suspects: BIOS/firmware update required, badly-seated/bad RAM, badly-seated/bad CPU, low voltage off the system power supply.

            I have a i3, 128Gb SSD, 16GB RAM. Boots in less then 10 seconds. Five seconds later, VS2012 is opened. (No VS-addins). SSD is well worth its price.

                1. The Windows Logs will show some of what happens at startup 2) The Services screen will show what services are running; like all the 3rd parties checking for "updates" (including VS and Office) 3) The Startup Tab on the Task Manager will show the "impact" programs that are listed there have at startup (includes 3rd part nonsense and key / screen loggers) 4) The Task Scheduler will list what ran when; which can reveal more 3rd part nonsense that does not show up in Services, Startup or Task Manager (including Google updates; Nero; etc. as well as other MS apps). 5) Anti-virus software is often the biggest performance hog The challenge is killing off the (bad) zombies. (Visual Studio 2017 has a "Load me Lite" option that will reduce startups).
