Windows 7 flashy startup animation increases your boot


Recommended Posts

I am so tired of people whinnying about Windows 7 is not funny anymore. Please get a grip.

WINDOWS 7 IS BETTER THAN ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS

So enjoy your 2 seconds of delayed Startup time....Geez! :no:

My startup and shutdown times were actually reduced with Windows 7 -- think it really just depends on the comp/drivers/etc..

For some people Windows 7 will be a step forward, for most it won't make any difference and for some people it'll be a worse experience. I for one think Windows 7 overall is a step backwards but hey there are some people who like it.

in what way is it a step backwards

???? :blink:

please explain because your either trolling, an apple/linux fanboy or have a totally jacked up pc. have you even tried the final????

Windows 7 is a massive step forwards IMO. My times are faster across the board (Compared to both XP and Vista). I'm yet to see one of my mates have a complaint about it, which is great to see! (Y)

that and lets not forget this bad boy can run on alot of older spec pc's which is a huge bonus for most.

The fact that you people with i7 CPUs have boot times over the 30 second mark makes me go all "egg on your faces" when I said that I didnt really see the boot time improvements on windows 7 and everybody was like "30 SECONDSZZZZZ OMGGGG SUPER QUICK".

Anyway I'll try disabling the GUI just now and come back with results

How many times do I have to say this, processors are not a bottleneck for boot times (unless you have a REALLY crap one) its almost all hard drive speed. Any crap dual core with a nice ssd will boot way faster than an i7 with a regular hdd.

Processor is not a bottleneck for system start up time.

not true. On most systems the ExplorerInit-Subphase of the bootprocess is CPU bound, and timing issues are likely the result of a simple resource bottleneck.

Check my post hisotry I'm no linux or mac fanboy, usually I'm very much pro windows. Yes I have tried the RTM build, no I'm not trolling, I tried a product and I'm giving my honest verdict on it. I find it slower and buggier than vista.

Yeah so one part of the boot process can or cannot be processor bottlenecked? What I say is still true, boot time is almost all down to hard drive speed. Thats why you can have netbooks with SSD's booting faster than beastly quad core gaming rigs.

Thats weird because Vista had all the bugs and 7 is a fix of Vista and a lil more(not saying everything is fixed)..

what if you manually set the cpu cores will that make a diffrance?

What you mean?

What you mean?

you can set how many boot cpu cores in Msconfig

Doesnt really do anything.. Your Windows utilizes all cores you have..

Trust me on it since I had asked the same question on here a while ago..

    • Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
