Windows 8.1 first log in is very slow

I'm seeing an issue where the first time a domain account logs into a system running Windows 8.1, it takes a very long time (up to 15 minutes) to go through the "Setting things up for you" and "Installing apps" screen.
Has anyone else been having this issue?
I've tried disabling the first run animation, but it didn't make too much of a difference.

If I recall correctly, the removeappxprovisioned package trick works to remove the apps, but they end up re-installing themselves at later logons. Either way, app removal isn't really a solution for me.
Here's what I'm seeing in my environment...
Build 8.1 image
Sysprep and capture (copyprofile set)
Deploy via MDT
Log in as a new user
Windows takes at least 15 to 20 minutes to actually log in (System logs shows tons of built-in modern apps being downloaded and updated, as well as a random 9 minute gap of no logs)
All subsequent logons for any user (new profiles or old profiles) are quick and painless
Seems to me that Windows Update is taking a very long time to update the built-in modern apps (which I have no need for). However, I can't seem to find a way to turn this off or do the updates prior to capture. Removing the apps isn't ideal. We have users
that need them.
Any thoughts?

VPN Client on Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise and T410 Very Slow to Load

Hello,
I have the 64 bit Client 5.0.0.7.0290 loaded on Thinkpad T410s running Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise and it takes over an hour for the client to execute. Each step of the client load takes 10-15 minutes to load and although the interface eventually loads; it does not allow me to connect.
It happens on all the T410s which are all running Windows 7 64 Bit. Our other Windows 7 64-Bit Laptops and Desktops run this client just fine. I have tried to load the client as the first app after the Windows 7 has completed its install from the Microsoft DVD and I get the same response.
Any suggestions on how I can debug this issue? I have tried process explorer and it does not show any hung processes.
Many thanks,
Kevin

Hi all,
thanks for your suggestions.
Unfortunately both errors still remain.
1) Web Intelligence Rich Client
I have installed BOE client tools using XI3.1 SP3 Client tools package in C:\Business Objects. The report's import runs well, but when i try to open one of the imported reports, i receive the error: WIJ 2002.
The details are:

We have installed java 1.6.0_02 (we previously have Update 29).
We try to use Explorer 9.0.3 or Firefox 8.0
Any other suggestion???

Log and Transfer Very slow

I am just curious if it always takes a VERY long time to log and transfer clips? I moved the files off of my SDHC cards and onto my hard drive. It's about 55GB of 1920x1080/60i footage. From a Sony HXR-NX5U/NX5N. And on average it will take a 5 minute clip about a half-hour to 45 minutes to transfer into FCP. Is this a normal thing?

Not normally, no. But the NXCam cameras employ yet ANOTHER flavor...non-standard flavor...of AVCHD. This makes importing slow and difficult. I had good luck with clips 5 min or less, but longer...and it would take from 2-5 hours!
The solution is to use a third party application...ClipWrap2. www.clipwrap.com
The good thing about that solution is that ClipWrap will import the timecode from the camera...because it does have timecode that it records. But FCP...AVID...they can't find it (Sony likes to hide things apparently). But ClipWrap found it.

Simple Soap Test, VERY SLOW with XP, only 5 calls per second !

Hello,
I'm just starting developing a web service. My first test shows a very slow performance of only about 5 calls per second:
Windows XP client localhost -> Windows XP server: 2000 calls per second
Windows XP client in VM on server maschine -> Windows XP server: 4,5 calls per second
Windows XP client over 100 MBit LAN -> Windows XP server: 2000 calls per second: 4,5 calls per second
Windows XP client over 1000 MBit LAN -> Windows XP server: 2000 calls per second: 4,5 calls per second
So you might think, that is it, but - using identical jars:
Mac OS X, 10.6 client -> Windows XP server: 880 calls per second
Windows XP client -> Mac OS X 10.6 server: 4,5 calls per second
So the problem seems to be the client setup on an Windows XP system.
This is the service code:
package net.metasafe.soapbenchmark.server;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@WebService
public class TestLib {
     private int count = 0;
     public TestLib() {
          // nothing to do
     @WebMethod
     public int div(int a, int b) {
          this.count++;
          if (b == 0)
               throw new IllegalArgumentException("b must not be 0!");
          return a / b;
     @WebMethod
     public int getNumberOfCalls() {
          return this.count;
     @WebMethod
     public void resetCount() {
          this.count = 0;
}This is the sevice publisher:
package net.metasafe.soapbenchmark.server;
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
class ServicesPublisher {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length != 2) {
               System.out.println("2 Arguments required: <servername/IP> <port>");
               return;
          String url = "http://" + args[0] + ":" + args[1] + "/services";
          System.out.println("Publishing TestLib service at url '" + url + "'.");
          Endpoint.publish(url, new TestLib());
}This is the client code:
     public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
          if (args.length != 3) {
               System.out
                         .println("3 Arguments required: <servername/IP> <port> <number of calls>");
               return;
          int num = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
          URL url = new URL("http://" + args[0] + ":" + args[1]
                    + "/services?wsdl");
          System.out.println("Conneting to service '" + url + "' .... ");
          QName qname = new QName("http://some_uri/",
                    "TestLibService");
          TestLibService service = new TestLibService(url, qname);
          TestLib tl = service.getTestLibPort();
          System.out.println("Connected !");
          // reset count
          tl.resetCount();
          System.out.println("\nPerforming " + num + " calls ...");
          long starttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
          int i;
          for (i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
               tl.div(i, 2);
               if (i % 100 == 0)
                    System.out.println(i);
          long t = System.currentTimeMillis() - starttime;
          System.out.println("Performed " + tl.getNumberOfCalls() + " calls in "
                    + (t / 1000.0f) + " seconds.");
          System.out.println("Calls per second: " + (num * 1000.0f / t));
          System.out.println("Done");
     }Any idea, why this is so slow, if the client runs on an Windwos XP (Pro) system ?
Is there anything I have to be aware of when choosing the QName ?
Best regards
Marc

Hello,
no one any idea on for this ?
How many calls do you get normally on Windows XP machines ?

ITunes 10.6 very slow to start up

I installed iTunes 10.6 under Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) and it is VERY slow to launch. I uninstalled it (fortunately I had backed up my iTunes library first) and reinstalled 10.5. It is significantly faster.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and, if so, what is the fix (other than uninstalling it)?

Bridge CC just got very slow

I am a very old and experienced Ps/Br professional, but can't get around this. My Bridge CC (on a very nice and fast quad core Windows 7 PC), at some point became very slow.
Even in the Essentials layout, just going through the thumbnails (already 100% cached, even small files, on fast HDDs always) with the arrow keys is quite slow. Opening Br became slow too.
I purged all the cache, I have no weird background programs running, there's 8GB or fast RAM. Br is now unbearable! Any ideas?

Hi guys,
Same problem here. I noticed like 2 months ago this problem and I hoped will be fixed by some update but no. I`m a hard user of Bridge with Photoshop CC, InDesign CC and sometime Illustrator CC to. At home, I use CS6 suite (Bridge included !!!) on a 7 years old laptop and BRIDGE is 10x times faster than the one running at work (Bridge CC) on a dedicated graphic PC, i5 CPU (4 threads), 16 Gb RAM, 2Gb Video card, 512 SSD ecc.
So, can anyone give us some clue/explanation about what`s going on?
Thx a lot for your time.

Very slow broadband - can't identify problem

Hi all,
My home broadband is running very slow, it is a BT line running into the house, a microfilter plugged into the box with the only corded telephone in the house and a belkin router plugged into it.
The phone is also a bit crackly and sometimes disconnects the internet if picked up, so by looking at threads on here, I removed the bottom half of the box on the wall and tried plugging the phone directly into the test socket, and it worked great with no crackle. But when I plug the microfilter back into the main box sometimes the router takes about 5 attempts of re-wiring everything before it connects. I looked at the 4 gold pins inside the bix that screws off the box and one is very corroded, and has pretty much snapped off. So then I plugged the microfilter directly into the test socket and it connects first time, but is very slow.
So basically, sometimes the internet works when connected to main box, but mostly doesnt connect - so does this indicate a problem with the bit that screws off. And even though the Internet connects first time when plugged into the test socket, it is still giving me slow speeds. (0.37 Mb/s download and 0.36 Mb/s upload).
I hope that is explained well enough, I can expand on any points if required.
Many Thanks!

try advice here

and to test line for noise do this
dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing
best done with old type analogue phone digital will do but may have slight hiss
do not use home hub phone

Mac Pro with OS mountain lion working very slow

I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.2. the mac is working very slow. It takes a lot of time to boot. Much longer than windows PC. Applications are also running very slow. How to speed up the mac and improve its performance? Plz help!!!

We're a workstation/tower forum.
Having more RAM has little or diminishing affect unless you are runnning apps that need and can use it (graphics being one, such as CS5 and later).
Many laptop owners and desktop like SSD for shorter boot (Mac always boots fast, quicker than Windows, use both).
If it were me I would
Backup of coure, TimeMachine and maybe one other method or set is useful, then do a clean install and reload the OS and let it do all the updates.
Most of the time after a lot of digging around and questions and answers, it gets down to "Did you install xyz" and a list of 3rd party programs, drivers and apps that you added that aren't part of the core OS or from Apple. Whether Norton (notorious) or some "cleaner" program or even something you need but which may not be compatible with or needed with OS X and Mountain Lion.
You can also set aside 100GB and run Windows natively as well as a guest VM OS.
Along with monitoring RAM, disk activity, I've seen RAM DIMMs that were 'loose' or not fully seated - even though Lion OS ran well the second that they tried to install Windows 7 on their MacBook Pro it had errors and could not complete. They had upgraded the RAM on their own. Just odd that OS X was that immune and insensitive.
But this is best off where others with the very same topic can be found in Mountain Lion and MacBook Pro forums. (we get way too many MBP in Mac Tower Pro) MacBook Pro

How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up.

Question
The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up. edit

* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat!

Serial Port communication very slow in RDP on windows server 2012

Hellò, we have installed a new server 2012 and connected some thinclients via RDP, since that moment all peripherals connected to the imported com ports of the thinclients are running very slow, for example the cash register issue any receipt only after
15-20 seconds!!. We have try to connect via RDP also a personal computer with many other OS like windows 8, windows 7, or XP but the result is the same: 15-20 seconds for a receipt!! We solve the problem only changing the server 2012 with a old server
2008 or 2003!. How is possible window server 2012 is so slow on RDP imported com ports??. There is something to set for speed up the com ports on rdp? For us this is a great problem, all of our customers are using cash register via RDP and they can't wait
all this time for a receipt. For your information we have tried to connect the cash register to the same com port of the same thinclient to the same server 2012 without RDP and the issue of the receipt is fast, so the problem is something on RDC of the new
OS windows Server 2012. Also note this is a bi-directional communication because the cash register use a bi-directional communication for printing each one of the voice on the receipt, this problem wll not affect other printers unidirectional where the
print process starting in less one second. Please help us to solve this problem, otherwise we will not more install windows server 2012.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
When the slow performance issue occurs on server 2012, check the Windows Logs – Application category of the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) on both the client and server sides. If there is any logs recorded, please let us know them. Please also check the
driver is properly installed on server and check the compability guide with the cash register machine, whether it support server 2012 with remote session. If there is particular requirement then you need to solve them first.
In addition, would like you to try connecting with RDP 8.1 and check whether it faces same issue.

VNC connection to an iMac running Lion from Windows - very slow

Before switching from Snow Leopard to Lion I used Vineserver on my Mac to access it using VNC. VIneserver does not work in Lion, so I decided to try the built-in server (screen sharing)
After multiple atttempts and tweeks I managed to connect to the Mac using TightVNC on my windows machine, however, it is a very slow process. After connecting, I get a strange looking gray screen, with 2 fields asking for my userID and password. The response from the Mac is extremely slow, and sometimes it freezes up all together. If and when I get through that first screen, and I finally see my desktop, things speed up a little, but it doesn't come close the speeds I achieved with Vineserver. The new login screen is what makes it almost not usable though. Does anyone have a similar experience - or a solution?

This issue is caused by a difference in the way Lion handles screen logins.
You must change the way you log in so that the client uses Mac OS X sign, on the Mac OS X user and Mac OS X password and not a VNC password.
On the Lion machine that is acting as the server to remote to, have screen sharing on but untick the two boxes in the Computer Settings area as shown in this screenshot:-
This set up works well with my Lion Mac using Mocha VNC iOS client and gives a very usable response across the internet from my iPhone 4.
Before I made these changes I could barely log in.

Very slow Windows domain login over IPSec VPN

Hi
I'm experiencing very slow Windows domain logins over an IPSec VPN connection. The AD is in Site 1, some users are in Site 2. Two Cisco ASA firewalls connect both sites by an IPSec VPN over the Internet.
I made some registery changes on the Windows XP client on site2 to let Kerberos communicate over TCP instead of UDP. Still the logins take extremely long (45 minutes). Profiles are very small, so there had to be a problem with Kerberos, MTU sizes or somethin like that. I already changed the clients MTU settings to 1000 byes, but login is still very slow. I made some sniffer logs...
Does anybody know what the problem can be ?
Regards
Remco

Hi Remco,
The most common issue with slowness over VPN is going to be fragementation. In general below are the recommendations to avoid fragmentation
1. For TCP traffic, use "ip tcp adjust-mss 1360" on the Internal LAN Interface on the Router. If you are using GRE then configure "ip mtu 1400" under the Tunnel Interface.
If you are not using GRE then the value of "ip tcp adjust-mss" depends on the type of transform-set being used E.g. AES\3DES etc, so you can increase the value of TCP adjust command from 1360 to a higher value. Though I will start from 1360 first for testing.
Also take a look at the below article for MTU Issues

Very slow login window on wake

My MacBook Air is very slow to wake to the login screen. It asks for my password every time, as I like it, but every time I open the lid, it's a good 10 seconds before I can even type my password. The screen turns on, but the text box isn't selected and nothing responds to keys, until about the 10 second mark, when it all seems to jolt on again, and I can log in.
It's not life-threatening, just an annoyance.
Most significantly, there is a log in the console every time I log in with the same message:
28/11/12 11:40:19.206 PM loginwindow[3191]: find_shared_window: WID -1
28/11/12 11:40:19.206 PM loginwindow[3191]: CGSSetWindowTags: Invalid window 0xffffffff
Apparently the loginwindow process is trying to find some specific window with an invalid address (0xffffffff is a little odd for a window's address, don't you think?). Of course, this problem persists over reboots, even when I've killed every single non-standard process.
Is anybody else experiencing this? And if so, has anyone worked out a solution?

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy the text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return:
pmset -g
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
