nightcraw1er.488: So, is that indicative that you don’t turn your computer off normally? If so, bad idea. Switch it off each time your not using it, let’s windows cleanup, install outstanding items and startup/reboot services.
Elmofongo: Will do everytime I go to sleep.
I am just gonna have to stomach the slowness of all my programs.
Like when you turn on a PC, launching games like World of Warcraft or Total War: Warhammer for the first time loads and starts very slow.
Or launching Google Chrome or Steam takes awhile.
You can also just restart every week or every other week....,,windows doesn't need to update every single day, so restarting isn't needed that often(well for most people, at least).
=====================
Themken: Windows takes three minutes to start up with a hard drive. Is that not normal for Windows? Halfway it shows the desktop but is not really usable yet.
That seems pretty decent, actually, though mine loads a bit faster(around 2 1/2 minutes or so). It is not that that makes some dislike rebooting, though, but the
services/apps having to reload each time on startup......that can take awhile if you load many resource hogging apps.
Themken: I fixed all my codec problems on Windows 7 simply by installing VLC, nothing else.
I also use VLC for video playback and it also comes with many codecs as well which helps which other programs.
