Windows 8.1 Starts EXTREMELY slowly

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
I think those updates have been re-released so that they no longer produce those sfc errors, so you should be able to reinstall them.

At what point did the slow boot up return - could you nail it to a particular program or was it slow before any of the programs were installed ?

Started a few weeks ago. Thought maybe it was my Asus board going bad (I HATE Asus BTW). I also thought maybe vjoy (virtual joystick) may have done something. I kept going back and uninstalling software but nothing I targeted seemed to be it. There is some setting is all I can figure as I've restored 99% of my software this time and the problem doesn't reappear. About to reinstall my Nvidia drivers as well as my Corsair Link software (controls my water cooler) and hope they don't cause an issue. Wish me luck.

Boggin:
I've recently come across a thread on another forum and that OP's boot was taking longer than it used to be which seemed to be related to KB3022345.

For him, that update seemed to damage Dism and after restoring with a system image to before that KB and then reinstalling all of the updates again, found that the new issue was no longer causing problems and his boot up speed is back to normal.

With Dism mainly just being a Win 8/8.1 tool, that KB didn't have the same effect in Win 7.

Funny thing just happened. I selected 12 updates (mostly Netframework), but upon installing my system decided to install 100 updates instead LOL Luckily neither of those troublesome updates are to be found either on my system or on the Windows update page. Guess they removed that garbage finally?

Boggin:
Just run the /restorehealth or a sfc /scannow in between the updates, although you probably have them all installed by now and hopefully without any adverse effects.
