How Monitor W7 Startup?

Barryng · Apr 22, 2015

Recently, something happened that causes an almost exactly 60 second delay after the W7 desktop appears until it connects to the network (ethernet hard wired).

I suspect there is a service W7 is trying to start that it cant find so it tries for 60 seconds or so and then just goes onto the next service on the list. I am thinking there must be a utility, like the old Bootvis for XP, that would allow me to see what this is.

Any help would be appreciated because, in spite of my best efforts, I have been unable to fix this problem.

Check out the sysinternals autoruns and you can see what runs at login, services, etc

Have you reinstalled drivers?

To prevent this in the future, there is freeware for 32-Bit Windows that intercepts programs inserting themselves to start with windows but not freeware for 64-Bit Windows, here's a pay-for version that does a good job:

I like this freeware to quickly see what already inserted itself:

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I found the problem and surprisingly it was due to a respected and normally well behaved service, Teamviewer 10. I found it by stopping all the non-Microsoft services, one by one, and watching what happened when the machine started.

Interesting....

I just upgraded to Teamviwer 10 myself...
I don't reboot often, but I haven't noticed this yet.

Which version of Teamviewer 10 are you running?

ATMINSIDE · Apr 23, 2015

Man, I haven't used TeamViewer since version 8. Never saw that problem from it back then, glad you found out what it was!

Team Viewer . . . ah, yes! That's what those hucksters with middle eastern accents install on you computer when they want to sell you a "cleaning and monitoring" service for $100 a year.

I see that program over and over on my clients' computers when I'm cleaning malware. And they are users who would have no use for Team Viewer or even know what it is.

Maybe there's another one, but this TeamViewer is used for legit Remote Support help, I use it to help my dad:

Is there a better Remote Support program?

Janus67 · Apr 24, 2015

It's what I use for my purposes and helping my parents.

TeamViewer is an awesome program, trents. Not sure why you have a grudge against it.

trents · Apr 25, 2015

No, I don't have a grudge against Team Viewer at all. It's legit but like a lot of other things it is often used by people who aren't legit. I was just making an observation. If you see it on people's computers who are having issues and you are trying to help them then consider that Team Viewer may have been installed by scammers and there is likely malware on the machine. Just a heads up. A possible clue to what the problem is and where it came from. It may be a good occasion to have a conversation with your friend, family member or customer about scammers.
