#SL CACHE VIEWER WINDOWS 7 UPDATE#
KB3020369: April 2015 Servicing Stack updated (+ the current version of the Windows Update agent). KB3004394: For the updated root certificates. So far, starting from the refreshed image of SP1 I've done the following: Given the myriad of updates there are for that OS right now I was wondering what would be the quickest route to a fully updated system, in essence, installing the less updates possible.
#SL CACHE VIEWER WINDOWS 7 INSTALL#
So here's some insight, I have to install Windows 7 in an old machine since that's what my friend prefers. I know it looks like quite a lot of info to take in but once you've added the custom view (takes 2 minutes) it really does make sense and is pee easy to read quickly every now and then if you feel something might be wrong if a boot took longer than usual. (Sum of MainPathBootTime and BootPostBootTime, inc 10 additonal secs) (BootPostBootTime represents the amount of time that elapses between the time that the desktop appears and the time that you can actually begin using the system) (Time between Windows logo and Desktop loading, it seems this does not factor in the time it takes to enter password on the logon screen?)

I looked back to before I got my SSD (Force 4 120GB) and had a WD Black 500GB SATA-II and cloned the install over, I was getting: It's worth noting the bit where he mentions that in the boot time custom view that MS adds on an additonal 10 seconds to account for processing. This kind of detail is useful to know because it goes to show that apps considered to be commonly slow and boot time increasing, actually aren't when you have them on an SSD. It's worth noting that the entry for STEAM was the day I installed the SSD, now STEAM loads within seconds and since that date STEAM has no further entry, since October Origin also has no further entry. Origin on the 14th October took 6.7 which was 1.7 longer than normal.

On mine in the degradation custom view I noted 9 entries and that on the 17th November, STEAM took 13 seconds to load which was 3 seconds slower than what it normally takes. I came across this article which I found to be very helpful in not only explaining which aspects to keep an eye on in the detailed outputs Windows records but also what to look out for trends wise. Various recommendations on timing and using utilities to time etc have been mentioned and all are sound but those running Windows 7 have the ability to use the powerful Event Viewer to drill down quite extensively to see how long various things took to load and how much degradation the slowness has had to the usual loading times of that item in question.

I've noticed (mainly on other forums and sites) many people asking the same old question about boot times and what's good/bad and how to monitor boot time.
