Start up

Can I uncheck FDISR from the startup list?
And just pin a shortcut to it on the task bar?

 

probably-- the isr service would still be running, but you couldn't interact with it without the program interface (what you're wanting to manually run). but i doubt there's any harm in what you want to do- give it a try and let us know

 

Taking FDISR off the start up list didn't make any change in the start up speed
so I put it back the way it was.
I was eliminating things to try to find out why I was having hangups at the Windows logo screen resulting in long startups or forced reboots.
I found out that by removing Sandboxie from the list, my startups
haven't misbehaved since...now constantly around 40 seconds with
no hangups.

Thanks, guys.

 

sandboxie was slowing you down? thats peculiar- its usually very light and trouble-free, is it not? its probably more that it's conflicting with some other security software, which could be fixed by configuring the compatibilities within sandboxie's menu. upgrading to latest version couldnt hurt as well

 

I put Sandboxie back in the startup list.
I was only one update behind.
I'll see how it goes.

 

what happened?

 

So far, startup times are good.
Still, about 40 seconds.
