Is it possible to remove the delayed start in Win8.1 64bit?
I mean the computer boots up super fast to desktop but then there is a 10-15sec delay before apps like Dropbox, DU Meter etc that i have set to load with Windows actually load up.
Is there any way i can remove that delay so they load up straight away without having to wait?
 

Tried that mate already, didnt do anything.
My boot up time fresh off to desktop is around 9sec which is plenty fast and i can open chrome and other apps straight away. Its the other apps that ive set to load at start up which are delayed by 10/15sec. I believe this was introduced in vista to speed up boot times but its a little inconvienance
 
Argh well that is annoying then :( Dropbox I can understand as it seems to check for updates/new files to sync each boot. Others I don't really understand why.

Must admit I don't have this problem in a virtual machine.

Its the following apps that load after 10/15sec of entering desktop:

CCleaner
PS3 Media Server
Dropbox
MSI FastBoot
My LockBox
MS Keyboard and Settings HotKeys
DU Meter


All Windows services and drivers load up instantly with boot. Its just the apps which i have configured to load at start up.
 
applications loaded at startup aren't usually interactive so i really don't see the problem.

The MS hotkey software controls the special hotkrys keys on my keyboard configured to open specific web pages and have custom commands. I cant do that until that software loads
