Obiwan Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I found out that using the hibernate function instead of shutdown makes the Win7 system start up and close down much faster. What is more important is that there is no more nervebreaking harddisk ouverture during the first minutes after startup. You can set the power switch to use hybernate and be started up and running in 20 seconds. The power can be turned off completely without problem.

Obiwan Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 nervebreaking harddisk ouverture? ? ? After startup, my win7 does a harddisk dance for about 5 - 10 minutes (preloading things and maybe checking things), XP is quiet after startup, so with hibernate win7 it is quiet right away.

Supernova Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 After startup, my win7 does a harddisk dance for about 5 - 10 minutes (preloading things and maybe checking things) 5-10 minutes? Sounds to me like 'superfetch' is working overtime. Better check your startup programs, disable the ones you don't need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 After startup, my win7 does a harddisk dance for about 5 - 10 minutes (preloading things and maybe checking things) Something really wrong with that timing. I have Win7 on my MSI Wind Netbook. From BIOS complete to password prompt - 13 seconds, after entering password 30 seconds and full bootup complete. 20 seconds for complete shutdown (not standby/hibernate). //edit - the Wind uses a standard 5400 rpm hard drive, not SSD.

h90 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 That also exists in WinXP (most probably in Vista) and is a good thing. But from time to time Windows should be shut down and start new. If it is in use for a long time it may act strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Better check your startup programs, disable the ones you don't need... Indeed the most common issue, use an application like CCleaner to sort out the starup apps and clean the junk out of your PC/notebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
