Just as the others…the slow bootup problem is back…my bootup time went from 45 seconds to 60 seconds…whats on with avast program updates??
Why are you running 1426 or is that a mistype ?
I think you mean 1456. Look at your topic title.
No problems here running XP Pro.
Sorry thats typo its 1456…the problem is only caused with 1456 and only in win 7
I have’nt noticed any in increase in boot time here on win7
IMO did u do clean install…or update from GUI?
No appreciable difference in my boot-time with XP Pro and avast free 7.0.1456 update from 7.0.1451.
Clean
May be that makes a difference…a clean install doesnt cause it but a update from UI does cause it i guess…
Don’t think so, I monitor W7 users without this problem and they updated via avast! GUI.
even others have these problems…but i have almost nothing on startup…
Windows 7-64-bit: AIS: My boot up time after the update is ridiculous. Anywhere from 2-5 minutes. When my desktop is loading, first my screen turns black for about a minute and then it takes a good while for my icons and task-bar to appear. Anyone else having this issue after updating avast through the avast UI?
Try this:
- avast! GUI → Settings → Troubleshooting → Enable: “Load avast! services only after other system services”
- Click OK.
- Reboot.
If you think avast maybe the cause of your slow bootup then please try a clean install as True Indian and your self seem to be the only ones with this issue and you both used upgrade rather than clean.
@Asyn -is it safe to do that?
@ craigb - Im assuming upgrade is synonymous with the “update program” button in the AIS UI. Can you please explain to me how to “cleanly” update the program which im getting the impression is the right way to update avast? I’m hoping the answer isn’t to uninstall and reinstall as this would render the update button in the UI useless.
Yes.
Thats what a clean install is, completely fresh. The ui button isnt usless! it does it’s job but sometimes for alleviating issues we suggest a clean install just to make sure there were no previous bug or coruption involved.
To clean install you must uninstall avast via remove programs then reboot into safemode and run the removal tool to eliminate remnants, then reboot back to normal mode and re-install the current AIS version.
Sure, else I wouldn’t suggest it.
Thanks. Understood.
Where is the removal tool found?
