from the bottom of the page V02.61 american megatrends 1999-2008 so I have resident shield disabled and windows defender off. windows defender shut off when I disabled resident shield. of course now I'm getting messages that AVG is turned off when everything else (anti-virus, e-mail, rootkit) indicates active processes. I've turned on window defender and excluded it from scanning itself, read somewhere that would help. it also recommended to turn it off all together but I'm a

Reply to morning boot time in Windows 7 WinCustomize Forums

how and where do I disable AVG and the malware app. I can disable AVG for a time but it starts back up on reboot. Malware is the MS download. fast boot is enabled. I'll look into updating the drivers but I think I had to roll back cause of an issue nvidia had with??? but that has been some time ago, surely that should have been corrected by now. I'm holding off on the registry looksee at the moment.

cold boot was just about 3 minutes (it's the morning boot that takes so long) are you guys really sure that it takes less than a minute from a cold boot? warm boot = restart. cold boot = CPU has been powered down and then started up.

In the morning I turn on my computer, turn on the coffee pot, feed the cat, etc. by the time the coffee is made my pc is still booting up. sometimes it takes as long as 20 minutes to boot, seems excessive. anyone else having this time delay. rebooting during the day takes less time, usually under 5 minutes.
