Elongated Startup Time with Update to Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit)

I've gone ahead and installed the Windows 8.1 Professional update after being quite happy with Win 8 Pro. After about a month of waiting for an improvement in the Restart times - it takes approximately 3 minutes after signing in for me to have a useable system - it occurred to me to ask if anyone else has had a similar experience; and, if so were you able to shorten the time taken to restart (or start) the system? I figured this may well be a case of outdated drivers; and I've been diligent about installing all Microsoft and Lenovo updates with no discernible improvement.
Any and all suggestions gladly accepted.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

...some more info on this situation.
The system boots relatively quickly to the "Welcome Screen" and after signing in it takes another 3 minutes for me to have a useable system - although that is not completely accurate. In the course of the 3 minute wait, I am able to start the Task Manager; and by use of the Lenovo "black button" I can get into the Control Panel. So it seems a large part of the wait time is spent being on hold until Windows Explorer is clear to start.
If I disable all non-Microsoft services via "msconfig", I get a very quick (at least, relatively) startup; however, I am unable to identify which of the non-MS services is giving me grief (or which ones, if there are more than one). Likewise, a boot in "Safe mode" also provides a fast start up.
Hopefully, some bright soul(s) - from Lenovo or MS or ??? - will come up with a solution to this predicament; altho', at this point, maybe not in time for Christmas!

Hi,
This error code means that the specified path couldn't be found.
To fix this issue, I suggest we try following steps and try to reinstall again:
Step 1: Clean update temp files:
1. Press Windows key + R, type service.msc and press enter.
2. Stop Windows update service.
3. Run following command lines one by one to clear update temp files:
cd %windir%
ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp
exit
4. Restart Windows update service.
Step 2: Clear windows store catch:
Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
The Store will now open, and state the following: The cache for the store was cleared. You can now browse the store for apps
Then, please try to update Windows 8.1 again.

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bits. Problem with IDT High Definition Audio Driver on my HP pavilion g6 notebook

Hi!
I'd recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version. All drivers worked fine but I'm having problems with IDT High Definition Audio driver. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance! My PC model is: LS278EA#ABE

Hi:
See if this driver works...

I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

I have an Envy X2 11-g001tu (Australia) on which I am currently running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit which is very stable. I have tried to upgrade it a couple of times to 8.1 Pro 32 bit and it becomes unstable, so I have to revert, which is time consuming and inconvenient.
Since the last time I tried the drivers on the HP website have not been updated so I haven't bothered to do anything else. But tonight I was looking at the specs of the Asus Vivo Tab T810C and they are almost identical to the Envy, both running the Atom Z2760 at 1.8Ghz. The main difference was that the Asus was running 8.1 64 bit. I was told that the Atom didn't have the resources to handle 64 bit on my Envy.
Anyone care to comment on any issues upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit?
Thanks

Hi Ruggers. According to HP's update advisor: HP & Windows 8.1 your Envy x2 has been successfully tested with 8.1, and instructions have been provided. Here are the Windows 8.1 drivers for your Envy x2: HP ENVY x2 11-g001tu Drivers.
The Atom Z2760 processor can use only 32-bit instruction sets, as it is a 32 bit processor. As a result it can only run 32 bit operating systems.
I hope this helps.

Corrupt SPLDR.SYS Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit won't boot

Hi!
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit full Norwegian version bought at a local store. My PC consists of:
MB: Asrock Z97 Extreme4
Proc.: Intel i7 4790
RAM: 4 x 8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1866Mhz 10CL
Video: Gainward GeForce GTX 770 4GB
SSD: Kingston HyperX SH100S3 240GB (system disk)
RAID5: 3 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB + 1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB(configured using Intel RAID BIOS utility - only used for user files)
Optical: Lite-On IHOS104-37 + LG BD-R BH10
eSATA: Samsung Story Station Plus 1.5 TB (This had to be set as internal SATA drive in UEFI otherwise it refuses to wake up form sleep)
1394a: Lycom PCI-E PE-101
PS: Corsair HX750W
The optical drives are connected to the onboard ASMedia ASM1061 controller, the others to connectors controlled by the Intel Z97 chipset. I also have an M-AUDIO Firewire Solo external sound card connected to the 1394a expansion card. This is powered
by the Firewire bus and is occasionally a little "tricky". I believe it's because there is no driver available for Win 8 so I had to use the one for Win 7 64-bit.
This rig was set up about a month ago and has worked without any
serious problems except that I sometimes experience that the eSATA drive doesn't always wake from sleep.
All suggested updates has been installed.
My issue is this:
2 days ago I was installing a Silverlight
plug-in for Mozilla when I got a message that the installation routine couldn't update the registry and then the system
froze. After rebooting,
I was informed that Windows had become
corrupt. Attempting to run the
repair routine was no use - I just got
a message that Windows couldn't undertake
the repair. I suspected problems
with the system disk and started the
command prompt using the installation DVD.
It turned out that the C drive suddenly
had becomeE drive. The RAID "disk" showed up under the command prompt as C:\.
I ran bootrec (Sorry, I can't remember what parameter I used)
that reported that some errors were
repaired but that it couldn't repair everything.
Then I ran sfc offline.
In the srttrail.txt log file (that was written to the correct path on the E drive) I see that
SPLDR.SYS is corrupt and attempt
to repair failed (error code 0x2
and 0x490).
I was advised by a support engineer on the Microsoft Community forum to try and run chkdsk /p - which turned out to be an invalid parameter - and chkdsk /r which reported that everything was OK.
The support engineer suggested that I should perform a system restore from WindowsRE. This is what happened:
At first there seemed to be only one restore point available dated two days earlier but when I looked for more restore points there were 4 alltogether the oldest one dated 14 days earlier. I klicked the button "Look for the
affected programs" (or something like that - I've translated this from the Norwegian version I use.) and there were listed a lot of programs and utilities that had been installed on this disk before but not as long as it had been in
this rig! (I used this SSD as system disk in another PC earlier.) This is strange: when I installed the disk in my new rig I chose to repartition it and as far as I know that means that old data is erased. OK, I chose the newest restore point anyway
and klicked Next. In the following dialog there was a yellow exclamation mark and a list of two drives. Both drives were called Local drive (C:), the first one with (System) as well. Under Status on this first one it said "You
must enable system protection on this drive." Status of the second one was "Cannot find the drive" (Again translated from the Norwegian version.) The checkbox to the left
of both of the listings were greyed out and because I couldn't choose any of them, the Next-button was grayed out as well.
As I mentioned before the drives have chanched letters. When I use old DOS commands from the command prompt and switch from the X: drive (which seems to be the Windows installation DVD) to C: it shows the RAID I mentioned before. Likewise, the
system disk (i.e. the SSD I'm having trouble with) is now D:. And that sort of explains why the system recovery can't find the drive... But it doesn't explain why the old programs show up in the new restore points... (I've checked that the SSD
still is set to be boot disk in UEFI.)
The support engineer suggested that I post my query on the TechNet forum.
Do you have any suggestions what to do?
I'm a little nervous considering what could happen
with the files on the data disk if I make a mistake... :-)
Regards,
Morten Ericson

Hi!
Please read both this reply and the next one in conjunction.
I've done some research on my own after following your advices (Please look at my last reply below.).
First of all: bootrec /scanos does not report any Windows installations.
Running bcdedit /enum reports:
Windows Boot Manager
identifier: {bootmgr}
device: partition=D:
path: \bootmgr
description: Windows Boot Manager
locale: nb-NO
default: {default}
displayorder: {default}
timeout: 30
Windows Boot Loader
identifier: {default}
device: partition=D:
path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description: Windows 7 Ultimate
locale: nb-NO
recoverysequence: {db9ccd8a-43de-11e4-85a8-8169ad6c7c9f}
recoveryenabled: Yes
osdevice: partition=D:
systemroot: \Windows
bootmenupolicy: Standard
I must admit that I don't know how these things go together but there are a few things that makes me wonder:
First of all this has to be the reason why Windows 7 Ultimate comes up as the only option when I try to run System Restore. But is it really a Windows 7 installation? A lot of the files (logs and so on) in the Windows folder and subfolders are dated
mid August when I installed Windows 8.1. I just wonder...
I've been googling a bit about system installation and recovery and I read somewhere that there are some special precautions when installing Windows on a UEFI-based system. I can not remember that there were any options or warnings about that when
I installed Windows 8.1 on my system. But I belive I saw somewhere that a UEFI-based installation creates other partitions than an installation on an ordinary BIOS based system. The fact that the SSD has been used in a BIOS based system with Windows
7 Ultimate before explains in my mind why there is no reserved partition.
BTW: I don't know if this is important but the strings that were reported by the bootsect command were {e59cd65f-170a-42c4-927d-8ce8a94989a3} for the C:-disk and {cf240c96-43dc-11e4-85a8-806e6f6e6963} for the D:-disk.

Installing Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit on Lenovo H500s

I have installed a brand new (clean) 2T drive in the Lenovo H500s and I have Windows 8.1 PRO 32 bit retail disk. I'm trying to get this to install on the new drive but can't even get the unit to see the CD.
I've gone in to the BIOS and set the CDROM as the first boot divice but when the computer is turned on it doesn't seem to recognize the drive and gives me the error message "Error 1962 No operating system found".
I've tried other DVD's that are bootable but it doesn't seem to see those either. Any ideas on this?
NOTE: I need to use the 32 bit OS because I have drivers that the device manufacture won't update to 64 bit. This is a Epilog Laser Cutter so I'm not about to spend $17,000 to replace it.

Operating System change from Windows 7 to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

I have HP Pavilion Dv6-6196ex with Windows 7 64 bit as original OS. I change my hard drive to 256 mb SSD and installed new OS windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. Is there any suitable software coming from HP that is compatible to my new OS and can i get a recovery manager from HP and installed it on my new OS?

Sorry, but HP is only supporting and providing drivers for Windows 7 for this model on the HP Pavilion dv6-6196ex Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The only purpose of the HP Recovery Manager is to return the computer to its original factory state. Becasue your computer shipped with Windows 7, the HP Recovery Manager would only restore Windows 7 and not the currently installed OS.
Please see HP Forun thread entitled "8.1 recovery discs" for more information on this subject. My suggestion is to use Windows "System Image Backup" utility to create an exact image of the Windows 8.1 partition as it currently is, on an external hard drive. If your computer developes issues or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is "restore" the image to the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: Use System Image Backup for instructions on creating and restoring a "Windows - System Image Backup."
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

all 32 bit editions boot and install just perfect (created by my computer ) so its not a computer problem ,, when i put the media on my computer (dvd/usb) and restart and boot on it ,, its shows me the windows logo ,, after 20 seconds (too much)
it shows the ring , and then it reboots the computer (2/10 tries it manages to go in the language selection screen ,, but when i click next ,, and then i click install now button ,, it reboots again) what is going wrong , and how can i fix it (where
should i make that bootable media ?) i have bought the windows from dreamspark ,, so i use a official iso and serial key

Hi,
This is not license problem, in my opinion, it's more relate with hardware and their driver problem.
Firstly, it would be better to contact the manufacture to identify if your computer support Windows 8.1 X64 edition.
Secondly, if your former system was not removed, try to access into the system and upgrade BIOS editon, after that, try to reinstall the system again for test.

TCS4 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit on my workstation. Then I did a clean install of Adobe TCS4. When I want to enter my Serial Number I receive the following message:
Serial Number you povided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.
To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number.
When I select Adobe FrameMaker 11 from the dropdown and enter the TCS4 Serial Number I receive the following message:
This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.
Any suggestions?

What did Adobe support say? Installation help/support is free.

Windows 8 Enterprise automaticly updated to Windows 8.1 pro

Hi all,
My company computer at my home location is running windows 8 enterprise.

the reboot was needed for the update to 8.1 it sayd.
when the computer was rebooted several times, it suddenly asked me for a Licence key, this while there is a corporate licence.
then i checked the windows vertion and it is windows 8.1 pro now.
can anyone tell me what the hell happened and how i can revert this?
Kind regards.

Hi,
This is not possible. Windows 8.1 upgrades are available in the Windows Store or on media. However, when you upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store, you cannot change editions. Upgrading to a different edition of Windows 8.1 is supported from media
only.
Volume license version of Windows 8 Enterprise cannot be upgraded from the Windows Store. You must use media to upgrade these editions.
It would be helpful for us to do further troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
Did you mean the Windows Editions you are running in the Company and at home were not same?
If yes, I think the edition when you were facing that ask to update to Windows 8.1 should not be the Windows 8 Enterprise.
Use your antivirus scan the whole computer and then double the version of the current system: right click Computer ->Properties ->under Windows Edition section, check the current edition.
Contact your IT admin to make if they push the related updates.

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.
