Soluto: Nifty free program to help you reduce boot loading times

[mullered07]

Tried earlier just for shits and giggles, turns out I can't really speed my boot time up as it's 26s with no startup programs or services disabled

I wish someone with a SSD posts results too

Tried earlier just for shits and giggles, turns out I can't really speed my boot time up as it's 26s with no startup programs or services disabled and most of that is my post, seriously the windows flag appears and it boots straight into my desktop, only thing an SSd is good for IMO is boot times, everything else is negligible really, 30 secs off booty is really noticeable, 3 seconds off programs not so much

Dammit sorry for repeat post, it hung when I pressed save and didnt show up as posted :S

BTW panther, is that a single user machine or do you have multiple user accounts? I have to click my account as I have multiple ones, t'otherwise it would be 25 secs too as I wouldnt waste 1 sec clicking my damn username lol

Cool, i guess it's good to know how fast some ones mobo runs.. If all ya shit that ya need running is disabled it kinda deceives the point ?.

And i know mine is not that fast even if i did the same as the raid controller adds like 5 seconds as it pauses and shows ya raided drives and such.

It's single user. Probably you'd get even less than 25 seconds

I'm going to give this a shot.

This added 2 seconds to my boot time on my laptop. Went from 38 seconds to 40!

on the laptop im on atm.. went from 2:59 minutes to 1:30...

sadly i could not use it on my main rig as its not connected to the internet atm

 

[Mussels]

Hmmmm, i'll look into this. my boots rather slow (but i always use S3 sleep so it hardly matters)

 

[Radical_Edward]

Chopped out :42 seconds of crap in the first pass, I'm going to see what else I can tweak to trim it down more.

This doesn't seem to work well with SSDs. It says my boot takes 55 seconds but my system idles after 5-10 seconds and while all my applications have already loaded Soluto is still busy counting them xD...

80 Apps on startup
55 seconds

I think it is only accurate for mechanical drives at this point.

Yes i noticed that too..

aha what the fuck I got like 2:40. It registered xfire as sucking up almost a minute.

I really need a new harddrive, this thing is like 6 years old at this point and slowwww.

I almost never reboot though unless I absolutely for whatever reason need to or the power goes out. I usually have months of uptime from sleep mode.

sweet ...

Hmmm, that's why I wanted more people with SSDs to post their findings. The program seems to work well here... actually, too well

 

[Mussels]

it claimed almost a minute was due to windows sign in assistant here

 

[MT Alex]

Horray for clean systems. A heck of a lot better than 4+ minutes

 

[copenhagen69]

what all did you remove?

 

[MT Alex]

Everything. Reformatted and reinstalled. It was a real ball buster because I forgot to disconnect my other drives, so somehow I got caught in a BOOTMGR vortex of hell. But things are nicer, now.

I noticed that too: if you have a password to log into Windows, it adds the time you take to introduce it in to it's boot up time calculations.

 

[Frizz]

ok i just decided to check results again after a quick boot and it reported 25 seconds so its getting there lol.

I noticed something called application profiles took 9 seconds to load, not sure if that is the same as the crossfire profiles i installed and never got rid of ... I'll post some screenies in a bit after I uninstall the application profiles.

Very Cool!

Bye bye to Windows Media Sharing which I don't use but takes 30 seconds to load!

just so you know i used this a few months ago and it can get really irritating as it starts to slow your computer down and apps which are supposed to be delayed start to not launch at all and apps that are told to not launch start to launch again, i'd use it for info but i'd leave the actual cleaning down to other programs as it didn't use to be very reliable, to be fair it was a few months ago which means the version i used was probably a very early beta

Starting to have issue's with it too. Boots slowed down to 1:08 now meaning it's time for this crap to leave lol. That's real bad as it was booting like 38-44s.

But will try it again in the future for sure.
