Windows 8.1 - Slow Restart/Pause with SSD
Windows community,
I am new to these forums, so forgive me if I am posting in the incorrect place.
My system specs:
ASUS ROG
C drive runs on an 120 GB SSD, has 33 GB of space remaining
Processor: Intel Core i7-4700HQ @ 2.40 GHz
RAM: 16 GB
System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Graphics Card: Nvidia 770m, 3 GB
My problem:
I have been experiencing slow restart times (about 1 minute).
Details:
Not long ago, I refreshed the system, and re-installed all my programs. Shortly thereafter, I began to experience slow restart times. I assume that the slow restart is due to a process or driver/system update, but I cannot be sure what is causing
my problem.
What I see:
The blue shut down/restart screen is displayed with the little white dot animation. After about 5-10 seconds, the animation will pause. Then, after about 45-50 seconds, the animation will move again and the system finally restarts.
Thanks in advance for any help! I can provide more details as needed.
Hi Parker,
Firstly, let's update all device drivers and Windows updates.
If the issue persists, as S.Sengupta said, perform a Clean boot to see if it's caused by some third-party software or service startup with Windows.
Both of these don't work, collect the boot trace for analysis:

Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade
Dear all,
A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8), I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
With EFI it just boots Mac
With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
I do not know what is wrong :/
P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc

X300 Pausing with SSD and Microsoft SQL
Using Outlook with Microsoft Business Contact Manager when I attempt to open a record in BCM my x300 with SSD pauses for 10 seconds then opens the record. This happends anytime a record is called. It's a new machine with only Office 2007 and Quicken 2008 on it. This pause is only present using BCM (Microsoft SRL). Everything else runs like lightning.
Is anyone having the same problem?Markus,
It looks like there is a typo in driver's classname:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDirver
should be
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver (instead of Dirver)
Depending on MSSQL release (2K or 2K5), classname is not exactly the same

Windows 8.1 slow restart and logons.
Hey,
We are experiencing slow logons and system restarts with Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 3 device.
When the issue occurs the event id 7011 if logged consistently in the event log with a number of service timeouts.
Have read that Microsoft recommends increasing the time out period via a registry key to 60000 milliseconds but this does not resolve the issue.
The issue occurs randomly but when is occurs the events are logged in the system log.
All patches and firmware are up to date and device is domain joined.
The services startup options are set correctly.
Hitting a brick wall with this one so any assistance appreciated.
The DNS Client
service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not
respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
A timeout (30000
milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the
Dnscache service.
A timeout (30000
milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the

The Netlogon service
depends on the Workstation service which failed to start because of the
following error:

For this problem, firstly, I would like to suggest you make Clean boot to check if this problem caused by 3rd program or service startup with system caused this problem.
Clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If problem persists, it would be better to use boot trace tool to caputer Windows startup trace log.
You can refer to the contents of the link below to collect the boot trace log, then upload these log file log to your Sharing Space and post the download link here.

I would avoid Norton, eventually there always seem to be problems, and I tried NIS2008 before going to Kaspersky Suite.
Also, try cleaning up temp files and doing chkdsk. -
CHKDSK fails on fresh install of Windows 7 x64 on mid-2009 MBP with SSD
There was an earlier post about this that has been archived prematurely that I will reproduce below. The main issue is a flaw in the Windows 7 x64 CHKDSK of the SSD drive in the mid-2009 MBP= 5,2. With fresh OSX installs, bootcamp 3.1, Windows 7 x64 all updates, the CHKDSK operation checks files at about 1 per second in stage 4 of 5, verifying file data.
Moderators: please leave this open until it is actually resolved.

Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 2, 2009 6:45 AM
Hello, I have been having filesystem problems on my Windows 7 partition since the HDD related firmware update (the latest Performance update) was released and installed onto this mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
The HDD is a 500 GB 7200 RPM model, but it never gave me any troubles under OS X before the "fix" and I know other users had intermittent problems with the HDD on their MacBook Pro's related to the HDD making noises and pausing.
The fix was released, I installed it and I started seeing my first problem in Windows 7 x64 a few days after... I cleanly shut the OS down, but when I booted it back it asked me to perform a coherency check to the Filesystem... I thought that the problem was related to the fact that I was using the RC1 build of Windows 7... although that problem never manifested itself in the weeks before the Performance Update (HDD firmware fix) was installed and Windows 7 x64 RC1 had been on there and used frequently.
I recently purchased Windows 7 retail a few days ago and after a bit of trouble-free operation I started having problems again... always shutting the PC down carefully and I was asked to run the CHKDSK utility at boot twice already.
What to do?

Re: Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 12, 2009 1:40 AM in response to: Panajev
Hi there,
I have a different experience. I installed Windows 7 before the "performance update 1.0" came out. I actually experienced the chkdsk launch problem with Windows 7. I had done repartitioning and clean-install several times but cannot solve the problem. So I tried to install XP and Vista on my MBA (Mid 2009 with SSD) and found that these two OS doesn't introduce such problem.
To be honest, I'm not sure which caused such problem, Windows 7, a bootcamp driver, or EFI. But I'm sure that CHKDSK in Windows 7 has an obvious bug that needs to be patched (memory leak and maybe this problem as well). So now I'm using Windows Vista SP2. And I'm happy with Vista SP2 (seems to become faster and stable now).
Cheer,

How to change Virtual Memory in Windows 7 with SSD and 16GB RAM
I have SSD Samsung 850Pro with OS Windows 7 and have installed physical RAM 16GB.
In Adobe Help/Optimize performance/Photoshop written :
" To change Virtual Memory in Windows 7 and Vista, quit all applications and then do the following:
Choose Start > Control Panel, and double-click System.
Choose Advanced System Settings in the Tasks list.
Select the Advanced tab and click Settings in the Performance section.
Select the Advanced tab and click Change.
Deselect Automatically Manage Paging File Size For All Drives.
Click each hard disk letter to show the available space on that drive. Select a hard drive that has three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM and doesn’t contain a scratch disk.
Select Custom Size, and type the amount of your physical RAM plus 300 MB in the Initial Size box. Type three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM into the Maximum Size box.
Click Set, and then click OK. Continue to click OK to exit all dialog boxes.
Restart the computer: If you have applications open, select Restart Later, close your applications, then restart Windows. Otherwise, click Restart Now. "
Select Custom Size, and type the amount of your physical RAM plus 300 MB in the Initial Size box. Type three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM into the Maximum Size box.
I have 16GB RAM
in the Initial Size box : 16384+300=16684MB
in the Maximum Size box:16684x3=50052MB
but in the description of SSD written :
" In order to address any potential lack of memory capacity, the Windows operating system automatically generates a block of virtual memory (pagefile.sys) on the C: drive. For example, a Windows® 7 64-bit system with 4 GB of physical memory would generate 4 GB of virtual memory at boot time.
In the past, before PC Memory (DRAM Modules) were available in high volume, PCs needed to utilize some HDD space to address any memory shortcomings. Today, with PCs featuring 4 GB of memory or more, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate the use of virtual memory. Additionally, using expanded physical memory, rather than creating virtual memory on the SSD, has performance and reliability advantages for the entire system. Some applications may require the use of virtual memory. In this case, please consider your specific application requirements before disabling this feature!!! ”..."SET virtual memory in the Initial Size Box :200MB and in the Maximum Size box: 2048MB"
what is the right choice ???
Please HelpWindows set to default virtual memory : 16348 MB =16GB !
But SSD program Samsung Magician wants virtual memory between in the Initial Size Box :200MB and in the Maximum Size box: 2048MB or 4096MB. If more than 8GB suggests that SSD will work slowly.
Perhaps the description in Adobe execution Help / Optimize / Photoshop is not correct or ? -

Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help -
After installing the windows 7 64 bit, it will restart automatically with error in blue screen. in this case what should i do? i have using bootcamp 5
if it's restarting directly into an error, you can try troubleshooting (might be painful) or re-install windows with boot camp

Tecra R940 with SSD Windows 7 boot failure
My company has purchased Tecra R940 laptops and are replacing the existing HDD with Kingston SSDNow 200 V+ 120GB SSD drives. On a test unit after installing the SSD, the laptop was rebuilt with our corporate image (Windows 7 x64) which completed successfully.
Post build however a number of issues are apparent:
1. Occasionally during a reboot, the laptop will post and then hang at the "starting windows" screen before the Windows logo animation is displayed and with the hard drive light on solid. After a period of time an Windows recovery is attempted and eventually an error reported:
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
This issue does not occur at every boot but once in every 2 or 3.
2. The following error is logged in the Windows System log
Source: ATAPI
Event ID: 11
Description: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0
I have tried the following in order to resolve the issue:
1. Upgraded the R940 BIOS to latest available (6.40).
2. Confirmed that the BIOS SATA Controller Mode is set to AHCI.
3. Confirmed there are no available SSD drive firmware updates.
4. Installed the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver from Toshiba (11.0.0.1032).
5. Tried an alternate SSD. Same errors noted, so not a faulty SSD.
6. Tried the SSD in a Toshiba Portege R930. In this case the errors above are not apparent.
7. Reinstalled the original HDD. In this case the errors above are not apparent.
8. Confirmed a 2nd unit (with SSD installed) logs the same Event ID 11.
My testing has left me at a point where I believe there is something wrong at the R940 end with either hardware or software that does not like SSD's.
Has anyone resolved a similar problem or have any thoughts on resolving this?
Thank you in advance.> Reinstalled the original HDD. In this case the errors above are not apparent
So using an HDD everything works properly
So the controller seems to be OK.
I searched for Even ID 11 error description and the Event ID 11 source disk means The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0
There are many people having such issue with different notebooks and different SSD drives.
There is also different recommendation to solve this:
Someone could solve this my SSD drive firmware update
The other one solved this by running a full SMART scan with repair (reallocation of unstable sectors)
There is also an newer version of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver available on Intel page.
So its worth to update this,

Installing Windows 8.1 on a Dell Inspiron 3451 with SSD (Crucial BX100 256GB)
Hey,
I have a problem with the clean installation of Windows 8.1 on a Dell Inspiron 3451 laptop with SSD (256GB Crucial BX100).
The problem is that the installer does not see the disk, prompts you to install the driver. Secure boot disabled.
The disk is recognized in the BIOS. I can also change AHCI to IDE mode, because the BIOS does not have this option.
How do I solve this problem?This is usually because the Windows installation does not come with a suitable driver for your disk interface. The disk interface concerned is often SATA. Go to your motherboard/laptop manufacturer's web site and download the appropriate driver. Place it on a floppy disk, USB stick or CD (uncompressed, if it is provided as a ZIP file or an EXE installer originally). Then, when the Windows install routine asks for it, you can provide it. Please note that switching to IDE mode is for testing purposes only and is not a way you want to run things. Neither do you want to choose RAID, as if you know enough to be messing with RAID you don't need my advice. You want to choose AHCI and you want SATA drivers on hand before starting to install Windows.

Outlook 2013 slow to start with Outlook 365 on Windows 7
Hi,
I get to work, start up my PC. It's windows 7.
The first thing I do is kick off Outlook 2013 which piggy backs off office 365.
It takes a minute for the splash screen to appear, another minute of watch dots fly across the splash page then a minute while add-ins get applied.
Why does it take so long for the first two phases to complete?
What add ins do I actually need? I've disabled those I think surplus to requirements, but in reality if Outlook 2013/0ffice 365 need them why do they need to be added in at all?
Thanks.

but I have since been advised to post it here to.Hi,
According to your description, outlook 2013 connects to Exchange online server very slowly.
If yes, we can try the following methods to narrow down the cause of the slow performance:
1. Try start your Outlook in safe mode, and check the launch speed;
2. Check if you have enabled Cache Exchange Mode, if no, enable it and try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
3. Create a new profile with no email account, try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
4. Create a new Profile with the other email account, try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
Since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum:

Thanks for your understanding in advance.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
