![]() ![]() Updates then do some testing with XBOOTMGR.Īlso, it’s a good idea to run a query on your make and model computer in yourįavorite search engine to see if the community has latched onto any make and model specific defects.īoot and logon performance depends heavily on disk drive speed so you can see performance gains as you transition from 5400 to 7200-rpm drives or to solid state drives (SSD). Just as software vendors continually improve performance through incremental and milestone updates, hardware vendors improve performance in Bios and Firmware updates, so it’s a good idea to check with your hardware support sites for potential performance Is to be aware of such settings and configure the laptop depending on whether you need a quieter work environment with longer battery life or faster boot, logon and post logon disk throughput. Battery life improves but disk throughput is decreased during the i/o intensive boot and logon phases. Laptop computers can have an “acoustic mode” BIOS setting, which reduces drive noise by slowing the rotational speed of platters on the drive. Verbose logging enabled by "Turn on logging in Lync" can degrade system performance, especially if beta versions of Lync were installed. Is configured to receive monthly updates. Ensure that FEP and other Microsoft security software To check engine version, click Help, and then click About in Forefront Endpoint Protection. Install KBįEP 2010 with pre-6903 engines may cause boot and logon delays. Delay identified by long execution time for SFTLST.EXE in autostart Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.6Īpp-V prior to version 4.6 SP1 should have Hotfix 3 ( KB 2571168) or later installed. Retry boot and logon with setting disabled if a boot trace shows McShieldĬonsuming sufficient disk or CPU resources or has long execution times in the auto-start base of a boot trace. The setting is disabled in version 8.8 but a setting may be persisted by policy. Performance improvements in VirusScan 8.8 over 8.7.ĭisabling “process on enable” scans may improve boot and logon performance. Version 2.8.300 resolves known delays during user logon. TABLE lists examples of performance improvements for security software. Finally, application developers and administrators get to choose between slow and safe versus fast and less secure settings in security applications, which can also have an impact on system performance. Performance improvements that rely on major architecturalĬhanges tend to come in major version updates. Security software developers are constantly improving application performance in incremental software updates. Hardware developers also identify and report delaysĪntivirus and security software performance is essential to enjoying fast boot and logon times. Hardware developers are generally diligent about finding such delays and resolving them in later software versions. ![]() Examples of utilities and applets that can cause boot and logon delays include software that monitors ambient light sensors to dynamicallyĪdjust monitor brightness or applications that mute built-in microphones on laptop computers. The following sections explain some of the problems that have been seen to date, and how to resolve them.īoot and logon delays can be caused by applications as innocuous as utilities and applets to mission critical applications. We’ll be publishing a list of recommended fixes in the near future. Other root causes lie with the underlying network, remote servers, or Administratorĭon’t worry about tracking the QFEs for Windows. Some delays are caused by code-defects in the OS or applications on the computer experiencing slow boot or logon. There is no shortage of root causes for boot and logon delays. ![]()
