Has anyone else been experiencing this? It says now 9.3 seconds instead 0f 7.4; that I can live with. However, both closing and opening windows in real time is taking way longer than before.
Before: I click restart and would have to wait a few seconds then the computer would power down and immediately would run through opening to the splash screen with the windows icon and the dotted wheel churns about 4 times and I'm back up onto my desktop.
After: I click restart and wait from over 10 seconds to a couple of minutes (sometimes longer) and the computer finally powers down and slowly runs through opening to the splash screen (sometime also a couple of minutes instead of seconds) now with the windows icon and the dotted wheel churns about 30 times and finally I'm back up onto my desktop.
This has changed my real world time startup / boot up from about 30 seconds to a few minutes. In most day to day applications this doesn't matter much but it is somewhat disturbing.
Here's my setup btw:
OS Windows 8.1 (Originally Windows 8 OEM 64bit)
on 120GB SanDisk SSd
with 4TB HGST File Drive
plus 2TB internal backup
plus 2TB external backup
using Acronis true image for scheduled incremental backups
(setup is exactly the same as before the update)
More details on my setup you can find in my signature below.
I'd really like to hear from others with an SSD setup with the OS on it and a separate file drive and having updated to Windows 8.1 like myself and restart and really pay attention to see if you notice or remember a significant drop off in start up / boot up time like I'm seeing / experiencing. Better yet, any recommended fixes? I double checked for updates and don't see any. I can't recall doing anything new to my cpu since the update either. Any and all feedback is much appreciated! I thank you for your help in advance!
