Windows 8 Tips and Tricks

Speed Issues

System Five is taking a very long time to get to the log in screen

Check in the icon properties to make sure that it is not set to run in compatability mode. This will cause the processor to use about 95% of its resources just to run System Five, and as a result, the log in will be delayed by about 30 seconds or more, and may even make Windows appear to be not responding. I was not able to determine why this would have been enabled under Windows 8, because System Five does not need this turned on. Also we could not determine if Windows 8 enabled this during the installation, or if this was enabled by a user. Turning this off resulted in cutting the time to the log in screen back fro 30 seconds or more, down to under 2 seconds.
