Since about a week ago, whenever I turn on my laptop and login to Windows 7 I can't click anything for about 5-10 minutes (changes every time). A loading icon pops up while I can't click anything (reminds me of Mac spinning wheel of death). Sometimes the wallpaper will go white and a box comes up that says something like "Windows is not responding, would you like to end now?" I just wait a few more minutes and it eventually fixes itself.I haven't downloaded, installed, or changed anything recently. I did notice however, when I shut down the laptop there is always an update available. I start the update and the laptop shuts itself off when it is done. Startup time was fast until this started happening a week ago. Ran virus scan and deleted/uninstalled old games to free up space. [code]
I have this issue with thumbnails of photos taking a very long time to load when I open a folder in windows explorer. I mean a really long time, like 5+ minutes, for a folder that contains say 200 pictures. And this happens all the time, regardless of what else may be running, and regardless of what size thumbnails I select. What's weird too is that if I have an external harddrive hookep up through a USB 2 or 3, and open a folder in windows explorer with a similar number of pictures, those thumbnails load normal, fast. So it's only slow when it's reading thumbnails from my internal harddrive. Otherwise I don't believe my internal drive is slow, as everything else like launching programs etc works fine.
btw, I'm on an Envy 17 laptop, i5, 8 gigs RAM, 640 gig hars drive, Win 7 home premium. But I don't think my system config matters, since as I said, thumbnails load fine when reading from an external drive.
recently while i right-click on (my computer) to go to manage or properties it's only happens on my computer icon, all files and icons open fast but these one(my computer) take long time to load
For some reason unknown to me, logging into my user account on my PC takes around 20-30 seconds. I have the Guest account enabled, and log on to this is pretty much instant.I read around the internet that this is usually caused by having a solid colour as a background, but there have at no point been a solid colour background,I have images set as desktop wallpaper.I have only a handful of programs set to startup such as itype.exe for my keyboard, MSE, Xboxstat for my gamepad and Catalyst Control Centre.The Guest account has more programs set to startup yet takes considerable amount of time shorter to get to the desktop.This also applies to any subsequent account I create.
There are no desktop icons of any sort, and the user account profile size comes up as 343MB (which as far as I'm aware, isn't large). Windows is installed to a 64GB SSD. To help save space and reduce wasted write cycles, I've moved temporary files and cache stuff off the drive onto a normal HDD.This has been done for the Guest account aswell.I fail to see, however, why that should slow down a login time.Rainmeter loads on startup, but whether its on startup or not makes no difference.The accounts are local accounts as my PC is not part of a domain.I am stumped as to why my profile takes so long to login to the desktop (hence why I'm asking).In the event of it being relevent my specs are in the spoiler below.
Spoiler : CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4Ghz (stock) GPU: AMD Radeon HD6950 RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) G.Skill DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX (running at 1333Mhz due to CPU limit) SSD: 64GB Crucial M4 (boot drive) HDD: 1TB Samsung F3 (partitioned into three; programs, temporary files, games, page file) HDD: 1.5TB Seagate Barracuda, holds documents, videos, music, etc) OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1.
Recently, whenever i turn on my computer. It will take quite a while to load the welcoming page (The green page). Usually it took around 1-2 seconds. I've tried updating windows and anti virus scan but the problem still persist.
If I wait too long (maybe 1-2min) to login on the startup screen, the windows freezes! This never happens if I login right away and almost 100% if I wait.
When I start up my computer,after reaching windows 7 symbol appears and i see the blue screen, it takes over 3 minutes before i see the form to type my password in. The same happens when I let my computer hibernate/sleep and then turn it on again.
These are my computer specs: Operating System MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i7 @ 2.80GHz53C Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology RAM 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard FUJITSU FJNB235 (Onboard) Graphics Standard Monitor (1366x768@60Hz) Intel(R) HD Graphics Family Hard Drives 625GB TOSHIBA TOSHIBA MK6461GSYN (SATA)38C Optical Drives MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8A2AS Audio Realtek High Definition Audio
so after logon on windows 7 , my networking freeze for some time it looks that: , and other apps in autostart can't load until this icon will be clear without this ring inside.
I have PC connect to router and installed the newest realtek driver for win 7 on motherboard asrock p43de. Whats the problem, how to fix it, before i it normally loaded..
What's going on with the icon on my taskbar? It takes 22 seconds to load Explorer. Every other link to a folder in Explorer is practically instantaneous, including the links in Start Menu.
I plug quite a few different hard drives into my PC running windows 7 VIA a usb 3.0 Nexstar SATA adapter, normally just bare hard drives that need data backed up or moved, and as time goes on it seems to get slower and slower to find and bring up a new drive when i bring it in. My assumption is that it caches all the drivers for each drive and searches them to see if a matching driver is already installed for that specific device, or something of the nature. I had thought the 2-5 minute wait when plugging in a hard drive was just how W7 operates but apparently this is not the case according to some other tech savvy people i've talked to. Other USB devices such as flash drives don't take nearly as long to come up as a SATA I could clean out so as to get the process back onto a fresh leg.
I have been having this problem where after I login windows just sits there. programs dont load at all.. i can click them too and nothing happens.. sometimes only my antivirus shows up in the upbox on the right side but other than that nothing..
After about 7 boot attempts it starts to work which is surprising!
This problem started 2 days ago.. so I thought it was my OS problem and einstalled windows but the problem keeps coming back! I feel like the Windows update restarts are causing it or something! I have scanned my computer with malwarebytes and Avast with no results..
BTW I can boot into safemode
My specs are windows 7 pro Optiplex755 BIOS a19 Intel Pentium dual CPU e2160 at 1.80ghz 4gb ram
Unfortunately this time things didn't go back to normal. I was informed that the video card had failed and windows had recovered. The computer shut down by itself afterwards, which is something I had not seen when this happens. I can not get the computer to come back now, in normal start up or in any of the safe modes. When I start the computer now I get this:
POST beep BIOS screen Loading Operating system Windows error recovery (with booting options) The four little dots that come together to form the window with starting windows underneath it. The screen then goes black I get my cursor arrow and it remains that way until I get pissed and shut it down.
Here is a link to what I see on the screen sometimes, fortunately it happened as I was tying this up, I recorded it with my phone.

I upgraded my HP m8530f from Vista Premium to 7 Ultimate and have 2 main pain in the butt issues:
When it reboots it will not load the login screen. it loads the windows 7 logo and then sits at a blank screen with the pointer. it'll sit for hours and never load.
I CAN reboot and load the last known good config and I can login, but no matter what I try, every restart results the same.
2nd issue: I cannot get to the internet. I can get to the homegroup, I cannot even login to the router. But I can ping any site, my ISP sees the PC on the net. But no matter the browser I cannot get online. I cannot get it to activate the OS either.
I did learn I have an integrated Realtex POS lan adapter that I blame, realtek says it's driverless hardware. Hp doesn't have W7 support for this PC. my buddy's Pavilion Elite does have driver download support for 7, but of course my mid-range PC does not!
Any thoughts? Suggests? Genius that know the answer??
I was wondering if there was any way to have a passworded account, but if I switch the computer on and go away for 10 minutes, I want to be able to come back and just login without having to go through the whole start up process? I only have one account, and its more for security.
i am having some trouble with my pc. it boots up relatively fast (like 20 seconds) but when i enter my password and hit enter the welcome screen stays for about 30 to 40 seconds. then when it actually goes into windows it takes like 1 minute to become usable. the network icon thing has the loading sign on it for a while then when that goes most thing begin to load.
I have a relatively new Windows 7 enterprise 64-bit install. This is a domain account, so I have to do ctrl+alt+del to login. After entering my password, the welcome notice comes up (with the spinning circle), and it takes quite a while for the desktop to appear. It can be as long as a couple of minutes. This is a pretty fast rig (i5 2500K/GA-Z68X-UD3H/F312800CL8D-8GBXM) and when I first set it up it, my desktop appeared about 10 seconds after hitting the power button, including login.
Is the use of the domain account the likely cause of the delay, or could this be something else like automatic update? I'm not sure how I would go about finding out.
I have a Gateway ID47H07u laptop running Win7 64 bit. One day on boot-up it boots up ok to the login screen to load the OS but there is no mouse function anymore..
Why is this. Like 10 minutes plus and it still says recycling. It should only take a second. Is it bad to let it continue at its own pace or should I restart the PC and try it again?
I dont know if this is posted in the right area but I'm so desperate to get my laptop working its unreal. First it started off with my laptop crashing, I had totally forgot it needed to do a windows update and turned off my laptop in hopes that it would work properly. After that my laptop has not been working. The machine turns on and gives me two options. Start windows normally or do a repair. Upon starting windows normally, it loads so far before sending me back to the two options of start windows normally or repair. On the second time I clicked repair. My laptop then goes so far before presenting me with a blue screen that is usually the screen where my accounts are. The cursor still moves but it loads no further even after leaving it an hour. I decided to make a repair disk, hoping that the problem was because of windows. the disk loads, gives me a choice on the keyboard language then does nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, I want to keep all the files safe on my computer as I havent backed them up and I have worked so hard on the projects.
Im having a couple problems with my computer, firstly when i boot up The icon for the LAN onnection has a red cross to say its not connected even though it is and it will recognise that it is after approx. 5 minutes and will only say network instead of the actual name if my connection (network99) secondly when i log on from booting up the desktop take a while to load and all the icon thumbnails load slowly one at a time and its really slow.
I'm using Windows 7 Pro. I have remove the login pw in my user account now I do not need to do the login and able to use the computer right away. But I found I am using the computer as a user not administrator. How can I skip the login screen and go straight into desktop as administrator.
There's nothing wrong with my computer that I know of, just noticing these black flashes for some time now and thought I would finally seek information on why this could be happening. It happens everytime I turn on my computer, two black screen flashes at the login screen and another black flash in the main menu screen right after logging in.
p.s. 2x flash at the login screen 1x flash at main menu screen
I have an RDP Server on a windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and i would like to be able to use another system login screen to connect to this server. As in when i turn of display last local users, so that if i was to enter XXX into the username and XXX into the password and it will connect Although i wouldnt mind being able to set up roaming profiles between these systems either.
I have a Microsoft Intellipoint 2000 usb mouse that has been working flawlessly for about 8 months, and a windows 7 laptop 64 bit. Recently however, the mouse would work at the login screen, but after I would login, it would stop working. Its drivers are up-to-date. It seems as though something changed recently that disables it after login, and if I reconnect it I sometimes get Error Code 43, and it says it is not recognized, then again, sometimes it will work flawlessly, until i put my computer to sleep.
I watch videos from this site Poker Netcast | Live At The Bike | LABTTheir login is https.Ive been in IT for 15 years and even this has stumped me.When I go to login in IE9 starts looping from the login page to the https page and back to the original page and never ends. I load firefox, same issue. I load Crome, it worked for 1 day then same issue. It used to login in fine last week. It logs in fine on my 2 other PCs and my Kindlefire.I have checked for viruses with Avast and A-Malware Bytes in safe mode - nothing. These 2 pick up 98% of stuff. Personally I dont think its a virusn IE9 - Deleted browsing history, cookies, temp internet files, everything under the Geneeral/Browsing History section. Did a disk cleanup, put the site inthe trusted zone, turned off popup blocker just in case, Cleared SSL state, Reset IE9. Zippo
Recently my computer is always at 100% even when no apps are running. But as soon as i run Task manager load reduces. This doesnt happen in safe mode. Im sure that this is a virus. When i scan my computer with Avira Antivirus (Free) it doesnt detect anything
I've been using my parents computer for the last few months and decided to make my own user/log-in the other day. After doing so, I cut/pasted my photos folder into my new user directory (or whatever, I'm not very techie..). I have thousands of photos, my BF is a photographer, and I can view most of them. However, in one particular folder 90% of them aren't viewable! Says I don't have permission... When I log back into parents windows, I can see the photos in my directory (as they are no longer located in theirs) but there are little gold padlocks on the ones I cannot see on my log-in. I've tried changing permissions, ownership, you name it.. I've looked for help on line and tried everything. The only thing that seems to work is if I right click on each individual photo and change things that way.
I just brought a new computer. In copying the files from my old drive (XP Professional) to a new drive with Windows 7 Home, some of the files were not copied because the file names are too long. Windows 7 doesn't tell me which folders the files are located. How do I make Windows 7 to accept long file names?
So, recently I downloaded Windows 7 RC1 and the upgrade is doing alright except it's been upgrading for 17 hours and 20 mins, it's making very slowly progress with the last item .. switching the message at the bottom constantly between "Please Wait..." and "Transferring files, settings and programmes (395931 of 523838 transferred)" it's been on number that for at least 6 hours and 20 mins that i know of.
Should i leave it and hope for the best? or say it's over and it's time to do something about it?
Edit: Specs are RAID0 SATA HDD's, 3GHZ Dual core AMD, 8 GBs of RAM, ATI Radeon HD3870 and I'm upgrading from Vista SP1 to 7RC1
