Window 10 - New upgrade version 1709

I hate this new version 1709 because I had the version 1703 and I find it so annoying

With the 1703 it was turn on your PC put your password in and with in seconds the system was up loaded, now it does the total opposite.

There's no difference hardly in the upgrade, just that there's a few extra apps, oh well I've got to adjust and do a few turns while it up loads and do a

 

Hi,

Did not notice any difference in start up speed when I upgraded to 1709; how much longer does yours take to load up fully ?

Have you got a desktop or laptop and is your C drive a Hard Disc or Solid State Drive ?

Also just click on Drive C, Properties and see how much free space you have left; the update can take a lot of disc space, until removed.

 

@ricky101 Hi Ricky, the speed timing is the same, it's that i'm used to it loading quick once signed in not before...my laptop is fast mate and it takes about 10-15 seconds to load up.

It did the windows up date in less than an hour, where some have been taking longer.

I'll also check on what you've said also about the amount of space

 

@Fat Controller Thanks for the info and i'll look later but at the moment I have no issues regarding it working, I can't get used to it loading up before i'm able to sign in...it's all down to changing with what comes along plus I read that there's many the same as myself who just doesn't like this

 

Hi,

Assume you mean it used to take 10-15 seconds, so how long is it taking to load up since the update ?

As FC mentions CCleaner is a handy free program to use, though not sure how an update would affect your Start Up programs ?

How many times have you restarted, wonder if Windows is still doing some background updates, or some of your user programs are doing the same, have you got any really old programs or hardware attached that might have problems with the update ?

With the speeds you are talking about suspect you have a SSD fitted, so most manufacturers say do not use Defrag, but Optimise/Trim instead.
Defrag takes several minutes, Trim just several seconds.

You can use Windows built in disk cleaner , but do check the Clean Up System Files box to remove the old 1703-9 update files etc.

Did you do a system backup before the Update ?

 

@ricky101 Hi mate, It takes the same time to load up before signing in as it did before the update, the only difference with this update is it loads up first before signing in but previous to the update I could switch my laptop on sign in then it would load...I hate changes so it's a thing I've got to adjust to but last night I didn't come on GC as I was doing everything you've stated plus my laptop is backed up also with HP support system and that scans my screen, checks my drives which came in showing healthy...there was no new updates, then I did a deep system scan on the system and that came clear.

Cheers for you advice and as I stated to Fat Controller, everything is ok and working right but the loading system is just working opposite now and I need to get used to it but he's offered me help if I can't get used to it...thank you for your time Ricky and advice to you Gail

 

Hi,

Suspect you only have the one Admin account ?

Can only imagine its something to do with the HP software and how if interacts with 1709 ?

 

@ricky101 Yes just the one admin mate plus the HP software is great on top

 

Hi,

There might be a work around on HPs forums etc, if its the HP stuff thats causing the problem ?

Think I would be tempted to create a new User Account, takes a couple of minutes for the system to set it up. ( no need to actually use it )

How to Create a New Local User Account in Windows 10

Then when you boot, before it can load Windows, it has to ask you to select which account you want to open, then for its password.
On subsequent boots it should boot up and ask for the password to the last used Account, eg your Admin account, before loading in Windows.

You can easily remove the user account if you no longer want/need it.


Worth a try ...?

 

@ricky101 Your advice as been sound mate but regarding new account i'm not going down that route mate but everything you have said is very helpful to me if I can't master it

When I did this discussion Ricky it was mainly to see what people thought of this new upgrade besides myself and at the time i didn't think of stating it so I do apologise but other wise you've added great information for any of us who can't tolerate it to much

Thank you again Gail

 

No problems for me either.

 

@JWK So yours doesn't load before signing in, instead of after...mind you it could be to what pc or laptop we're using John
