The first step to me seems like Unjoining and rejoining the domain after booting into safe mode. NOTE: This will also remove all my documents, photos, etc. Backup the user's files first then do this. Before booting in safe mode, boot with the network cable unplugged. This should time out all the group policy requests from the DC and allow you to unjoin the domain. That should give you a better idea of what it is hanging on.
If that doesn't work, put the computer in its own OU and break inheritance. Then try to restart. This will help narrow down which GPO it is having trouble with. Joel I have unplugged the cable and I can boot in to the users system much quicker also the re join is a great idea I will try that first. Fragmentation makes your hard disk to do extra work that slows down your computer, so a Disk Defragment can re-arrange the fragmentation and make the hard disk work faster.
Wait for some minutes for it to finish. Then restart your computer to take effect. This should speed up Windows 7. So you can turn off Visual Effects to speed up Windows 7.
Restart Windows 7 and your system should be running faster. So there you have it — the 9 effective ways to fix Windows 7 running slow and speed up Windows 7 and optimize system performance.

Lillian Lai Last Updated: 2 years ago. Why is Windows 7 running slow? Method 2: Update available drivers A missing or outdated driver can cause your devices in Windows 7 working improperly, so you should keep the drivers in your computer up to date. Most of our workstations are still in the Computers container, so policy is applied at the domain level.
Also, we do not deploy software via group policy. The active DC is in the same site as the workstation. Is there a problem with having the site name the same as the domain name? In our case, our domain names are the location of our offices and the site name therefore is the same. Is it normal to show the Domain Type as ? Our AD forest is So when you checked these results, it was after a slow logon with the failed application of computer policy? Yes, I ran the two commands after a slow login.
This morning, login took seconds. I ran the two commands again this morning and the sysvol is in my site and gpresult shows the correct site. From the dfsutil results, I see the 3 DC's in my domain and this morning, the first shows " active targetset ", the second just shows " " and the third shows " targetset " - the third one is not in the same site.
This mornings slow boot up shows. Yesterday, the time between network name is and user name is was milliseconds difference. Thursday, February 11, PM. Ok, disabling the Background Intelligent Transfer Service speeds login up to what I would consider normal.
I know it isn't recommended to disable this service, but why would this all but stop the processing of computer policy? Anyone know of a way to correct this? Friday, February 12, PM. Thanks for the tip on BITS. I ran the command and it said "success - the bits service is functioning normally". There aren't any jobs queued.
Still a slow boot. When comparing the machine policy log with the even log, I can see that around the same time, GP has determined a fast link. A few moments later, the event being logged in the system log is a W32Time event.
Then, over a minute later, the next item in the policy logging is "network name is" and at around the same time in the event log, is event "The BITS service was successfully sent a start control". We are considering disabling the BITS service, then using a script, enabling the service and starting it after the desktop loads.
Once the desktop loads, starting the BITS service shows no sign of slowdown, but it is definitely slowing down login process if it's allowed to start. I would much rather get this fixed than writing some workaround script to make it speedy. Wednesday, February 17, PM. To be honest, if BITS is struggling, it sounds a little more like it's struggling as a result of something else, not actually being the cause itself. Certainly, disabling it is a workaround, but I get the feeling it's not the root cause of the computer's performance troubles, and I wonder what other issues may manifest over time as a result.
Thursday, February 18, AM. Thursday, March 11, PM. I wish I could give you the magical answer. I still haven't gotten resolution to this. We tried running a shutdown script to disable the BITS service, then a startup script to enable and start it. I'm hearing mixed results. Without it, you won't be able to go to Windows Updates, though Automatic Updates still pull down updates and apply them. With this scenario all my XP computers run very well, only the seven computers takes too long to login into domain, either domain admins or users Friday, March 12, PM.
Now two of three workstations have upgraded to Win7 Pro. Both new workstations have identical hardware and clean Win7 x64 installations.
One PC boots from power-off to a domain-logged-in desktop in under a minute. The other PC takes at least 2 minutes to show C-A-D logon prompt, and then a staggering minutes apparently doing nothing to move past the logon prompt. I tried disabling BITS altogether just to see if it helped, and it did not.
Upon finally reaching the desktop and immediately opening Task Manager, it shows 7 minutes of idle CPU time per processor. That's a long bootup and apparently Windows is aware of it. Wednesday, March 17, AM. Is this normal since AD is installed on this machine? Thank you, RetiredScriptingGuy. Because the file storage sectors are not continuous, the reading time will become longer, so Windows 7 will run slow.
But fortunately, we can solve this problem with defragmentation. The purpose of defragmentation is to reorganize scattered files together continuously to improve the seek speed of the computer. Step 1. If you don't like defragging hard drives manually, you can set a schedule defrag so that your hard drives can get optimized daily, weekly, or monthly.
The fan on the computer CPU is used to dissipate heat, but it attracts a lot of dust due to static electricity. If it hasn't been cleaned in a long time, dust will accumulate in the air outlet, causing the Windows 7 running slow. You can frequently clean up the dust to improve the computer's heat dissipation efficiency.
If your system partition is getting full, Windows 7 will run very slow, in this situation, you should extend your system partition. It is a professional disk management tool, the functions of extending system drive and Partition Alignment can help you improve the performance of your PC easily and quickly.
And it also supports creating, shrinking, moving your partitions for managing your disk more flexibly.
