Thanks - yes  - please Boggin, let me know how to get this enrty back into registry - I remember years ago to have it changed to low seconds - even though I have a jpg image as background. It is a good chance to fix my problem.

I already researched: in group policy you can set / introduce a new / missing key ... just need to get specific instructions.
In the mean time I'll make another system image / reg backup

Thanks

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Double-click the DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout entry.

I use a custm made background on dual monitors - never a problem
It's just a very neutral sandy / textures gray background that I created myself.

Hi Boggin,
I know it's Christmas ... so just for the next time you check
 - I did clean boot - all non-windows items disabled (had only 4 enabled anyways) - no difference
 - did regular bootup (all enabled)  - no difference
 - then I tried boot diagostic option - total desaster - wouldn't startup at all anymore - black screen with cursor forever - no login window
 - got it back to before by F8 > last known boot configuration

- still the delay of 30-40 seconds befor login - webroot now does not start  / permission again...?

   shoud I run WR again - if yes, which items to exclude? ... or just the steps before WR?

Thanks

another thought:
I know there is something like waiting time at startup and shutdown...

could it be that by using tweaking/Repair it was set to a longer time out at startup?

... and that the webroot issue was just coincidental - since I just renewed?

because everything is fine now / np errors, except extra time at startup

Thanks

Good morning,
I haven't done the clean boot yet, but I stopped/disabled Webroot (there is an option for that)and restarted - same thing.

and again-no error 7000/7009 pointing to webroot anymore. No errors, no warnings at all.
 I have printed out instructions for a clean boot, with disabling all non Win services etc, to find out if one of them
could be the culprit... unless you have better instructions / tips what to do at a clean boot.
I'm not a tech guy and rely havily on advice.
I guess at this point - should I do another Reg backup? Maybe a new system image - just in case I screw simething up.
 Thanks

yes - SSD (20 - 25 sec.) - only for system - all personal on HDD(F) - my documents etc all moved to F-Drive

please see previous post - Error 11 was my fault - I scheduled a chkdsk but forgot to click Y or something
no errors now ..  at least that's what I think it was - I also had an external hardrive (Seagate) connected for a while to check on the date of my latest system image - I'll do that again to see if that was the Error 11.

Otherwise: I have no idea what you mean with HDSentinel ...? lets not forget - the only problem I have is the extended startup time

just to confirm:
- webroot loads at startup - no more permission - = good
- chkdsk = all good
- sfc scannow = all good
- NO errors

however - 60 - 70 sec. startup!!!dark screen after initial loading, just after login - only see cursor

Hi Boggin,
I have to apoligize - I scheduled a Chkdsk and forgot about it / or didn't click Y for yes - that was the reason for Erro 11 - disk.
I have to take a brake - will do the clean boot tonight and post agai tomorrow

Thanks for now

just to confirm:
- webroot loads at startup - no more permission - = good
- chkdsk = all good
- sfc scannow = all good
- NO errors

but boot time app 70 sec.

if you are off for Christmas - Merry Christmas - I'll post tomorrow hopung the ticket will not expire

Cheers - thanks for your time

Hi Boggin,
sorry about the delay
- please see attachment of my startup items in Ccleaner - minimal-always worked like that
- I checked Event Viewer:
  I have a custom "Administrative Events" and "Boot Time":
              NOTHING anymore in AdminEvents (Error7000/7009 gone!!)
    but ... still almost 70 seconds in boot time...?? normally 20 sec.

I'll wait a bit for a possible response and will later go through the clean boot procedure

already did that - no remnands left anywhere of WsDrvInst or Videosoft or Videosoft-CNet. I had this program 1/2 a year ago, didn't like it and completely removed it then and never had a problem. The two remnants I found today in registry I removed and there is nothing left. I checked twice ... I used find / find nect in registry ... until nothing else could be found.

So - I guess it can't be that ... one improvement though-now Webroot is present / active by itself at/after startup - no more permission neccessary.
However the delay/drak screen/ectra 40 seconds still persists.
I also have my services documented in an excell document - to go back to if I mess up or something changes - all is as always

thanks so far boggin - please don't give up ...

PS: someone at Microsoft forum suggested a clean boot - to turn off Webroot - to see if the delay persists - but it's a lengthy procedure - especially if I wanted to go through all the services to see if one does it. But again - my services are all as always

I probably just figured out which driver installed itself:

WsDrvInst ... it appeared all of a sudden in services without a path ... I researched and it is "Wondershare" .. a software I tried and deleted a while ago. Now. after restoring the registry it installrd itseld again ... and I got rid of it again...so that's suspicious, but does it have anything to do with the problem - after all the problem persisted after I got rid of WsDrvInst the first time.

I also ran webroot scan and Malwarebytes scan - all good in that regard

Sorry .. another amendment:
I completely deleted WsDrvInst from services and every entry in the registry - however the delay in startup persists

don't know - it only took a second for the notice at the taskbar - and it doesn't tell you

any way to check where / what driver was installed recently?

General Computer Support / Re: after using Tweaking/Repair = permissions / delay connecting to internet

« on: December 23, 2017, 07:40:23 am »

 - no, it's 4.0.10 - asking me to upgrade

- I did the reg. restore ... and when it rebooted into normal the problem DID NOT OCCUR!
   I felt a 100 pounds lighter, but then a device driver was installed ??? (notification at taskbar) and it retarted automaticaqlly.
     at this restart the problem was back - disappointment 

- I noticed I have another restorpoint on that same day because in RepairTool I clicked on Reg.Backup at first and then, a minute later it did the automatic one.
So - there is another one.. earlier one

what should I do now?

Amendment:
I also noticed a new service:  -  WsDrvInst  -  which wasn't there before.
It shows no path, does not start even when set to Automatic - "Could Not Find Path"

Could this be related?

Thanks

Disregard - WsDrvInst was an unimportant leftover from a deleted program ... but please don't ignore my initial question

... and it looks like: Error 7000 / 7009 is the main concern

Hello Tweeking,
unfortunately I have to ask for your help again. I useed Tweaking / Win Repair many times without a problem.
Now however - after running the repair in the ususal way without special tweaks and without changing anything in services...
(I'm not entirely sure if Tweaking is the cause for the problem though)

 - all programs ask now for permission befor they start - which is ok, but even CCleaner...? which it never did
 - THIS IS ESPECIALLY OF CONCERN SINCE My ANTI-VIRUS (WEBROOT) IS EFFECTED BY THIS AND DOES NOT
    START/CONNECT TO INTERNET AT STARTUP  and askes for permission as well - everytime

I'm getting errors 7000 = WRSVC (webroot service) unable to connect in timely fashion
                          7009 = Timeout of 30.000 milsec. for WRSVC trying to connect

I have to wait 30 or more seconds at login until connection is established = much longer boot time (usually 20 sec or so - now over a minute.

My machine is in top shape, all updated, Win score 7.7 (win7/64 bit/16GB Ram)

I talked to Webroot and uninstalled-reinstalled = no change

Thanks in advance

Klaus

I make a system image every week or two with Macrium Reflect (free)  - works very well and goes fast. The images have saved me many times from my own booboos. I have Windows backup / restore point completely turned off.

General Computer Support / Re: Print Spooler Error

Boggin,
when starting in a clean boot ... can I still use the printer? Only when using the printer the error event appears.

Thanks for the reply.
jraju:
I did what you suggested - changed both to disabled - reboot - no change .. changed both back to "not configured"
..as all entries are "not configured" there

Boggin:
yes - I know you are right and I will ignore this ... as a last resort, but I'm curious and want to get to the bottom of it
        (yes - I'm a bit of a clean freak:-))

any other suggestions? is it the alternative/incorrect ...  or/and outdated driver?

Thanks

General Computer Support / Print Spooler Error

« on: July 14, 2017, 06:29:04 am »

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me out as in the past - nobody else could.
All of a sudden I'm getting in event viewer:
Event ID 808 - The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\UNIDRVUI.DLL, error code 0xc1. See the event user data for context information.
For your information: I un-installed and re-installed the printer, used HP Doctor and trouble shooter, which updated everything, followed various "solved" tips online ... nothing helps.

The printer works fine - just get these anoying Error events everytime I print something.

The printer is a cheap HP deskjet 1010, which runs on a 990c driver, since the original 1010 driver does not work in 64 bit (suggested as alternative by HP support at the time-now I'm out of free support)
All this worked fine without error events until now.
Machine is in top condition and everything uptodate, incl. tweaking.com treated.
Win7 - 64bit -16GB Ram - OCZ SSD for system - performance index: 7.7

Thanks in advance

General Computer Support / Re: Task Scheduler - event 413

« on: February 22, 2017, 08:26:54 am »

Thanks to both of you, Boggin and Still_Game,

-I could not find much help in tha article mentioned - to techy for me and it also discusses taking action in regards to a specific task. In my case it seems the whole task scheduler is not running, as I get that message when accessing it - however, task scheduler service is set to started/automatic.

-I'm running Win7 Prof, 64 bit

- I have defragmenter disabled for years since I have a SSD and defrag the storage drive occasionally manually.

So - I restored a system image from a week ago and all is back to normal ... meaning error 413 does not show in Event Viewer.
However it would be nice to know what the fuzz with Task Scheduler is .... since I still get what you see in the screen shot

any further info on that is appreciated
Thanks for now

General Computer Support / Task Scheduler - event 413

« on: February 21, 2017, 12:00:10 pm »

Hi guys,
I hope I can pick your brains again

Since a few days I'm getting:
Event 413, Task Scheduler service failed to load tasks at service startup. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147942402.

at the same time I noticed in Task Scheduler:
the selected task "{0}" no longer exists....           (please see attached screen shots for both)

I'm not sure if both are related ...

I tried to fix with repair tool but to no avail
(note that I unchecked "reset services to default" and "fix important windows services" ... because I don't want to loose my settings ... but they are the same settings as before the error occurred ... but I would if you recommend)

I could not find any satisfactory answers on the net ... can you help?

Thanks

The three services and them being altered has nothing to do with the actryal post/thread ... I just mentioned it

Please read the initial post - UAC prompting everything - problem solved ...it was the tweak section in the Pro version - not exactly sure which one specifically

Thanks
