as with keeping with tradition, I am late to this windows 7 party.

while I have been impressed with some aspects on the OS, the one thing that's
really letting the side down is the shutdown time.

The fastest recorded bootdown from hitting the shutdown tab is 1min 30secs
the longest being well over the 3 minute mark

all i have installed atm are

nividia mobo & graphics drivers,
creative sound drivers
Kaspersky internet security
opera browser

I am aware of the reg hack to decrease the time, but it doesn't really work for me.
I have tried with Kaspersky uninstalled.
Tried different nvidia drivers

still it hangs its tits off :scratch:

oh i havent ran ms update yet (SP 1 out on the 22nd)

fire away with any questions....

tried all of the tricks that link mentioned, this is the badger that worked

Quote:
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Change the data value of the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value in the following registry key to a value of0 :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
If the value does not exist, add the following value:
Value Name: ClearPageFileAtShutdown
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0


it worked so well i didnt have time to set the stopwatch :roll: :lol:

including the following reg hack

Quote:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
WaitToKillServiceTimeout REG_SZ 2000


shutdown is less than 10 seconds, it really is quick

but......

just before i typed this reply, i thought i would just time it again :s

it took ages, closer inspection revealed the ClearPageFileAtShutdown reg key changed back to 1

:s :s

i understand why you'd want it to boot up fast, but why does it matter how long it takes to shut down? hit shutdown.. walk away. done. :scratch:


my pc varies from 10-15 seconds to a few minutes to shutdown on win7, but it seems to depend on what ive had running during the time its been switched on. never been a problem for me though :s


also, keep in mind, if you've only recently upgraded, good chance its installing updates while shutting down.

I was always told of the speed difference between xp sp3 and w7
the latter often being touted as the quickest

so you can imagine the horror at the 3 minute shutdown

the boot up time isn't such an issue, within reason (xp still quicker though :) )
