Everytime I turn my computer on, after shutting down the night before, it takes for every to do whatever it is doing. Sounds like it's running something. Are these updates. After 10 minutes, or maybe more, once it settles in, it's find.
Is it because I shut it down at night and not do a restart to capture updates?
I routinely do scans and defragmented runs as well. Or do I have too much stuff for it to
upload or whatever it is doing.
Just was wondering if there was a way I could turn on the computer, have it take a couple of minutes and begin utilizing with the lovely hourglass all the time.
There may be some long bootups for update related activity, but not daily.
If the hard drive activity light is running nonstop for all those minutes, you may have insufficient physical memory for the amount of software that is loading simultaneously at startup and you're experiencing swap file thrash as each application gets its turn at doing its thing. In addition to disabling startup items, adding memory could improve the situation.
