I usually remove Quickset from most laptops. While it *may* be a usefulJo-Anne,Thank you again, Terry! Yes, I spent extra for a 7200 rpm drive, and
As long as you're sure it has a fast drive, that's good. I've seen to
many laptop manufacturers put in VERY slow drives (4,200 rpm). 5400
rpm to me is still too slow. I've been replacing all the laptop
drives on one network I admin with 7,200 rpm drives and the
performance increase is very evident. That speed makes a huge
difference on how fast things get loaded, especially on startup.
Since you are mainly interested in what loads at startup, you may want
to click on the Logon tab and do a ALT-Printscreen of that for a
printout. You may be able to get everything on one screen depending on
the resolution of your display.
Most laptops come with a lot of junk from the manufacturer. You most
likely can disable anything listed that references a manufacturers
folder (like Dell, HP, etc). If you find it's something you want,
it's easy to enable using Autoruns just by re-checking it and
rebooting.
actually the computer boots very quickly--but there's still that sound
break-up. And I did notice at least one thing from Dell--QuickSet,
which I'm not sure about. It seems to supply a lot of information, but
I'm not sure what it actually does. It includes Battery Meter, Power
Management Wizard, Location Profiler, System Information, Hotkeys,
Internal Network Power Management, and a bunch of other stuff. Not sure
if it needs to be there at start-up.
I guess I'll do some more checking on that one--and will now look at
everything else in Startup. It includes two things from my Acronis True
Image backup program and at least one from Adobe Reader. It'll be
interesting to see what all goes on when Windows starts.
utility, I've never seen a need for it and no one I know has ever used
it. All you have to do in Autoruns is uncheck it and it won't load any
longer. Unchecking it will also remove one more thing from startup to
test your sound issue. Not using it won't have any adverse effects.
No need for Adobe in startup. Having it load part of itself on startup
just so you won't notice how much of a bloated program it is in my
opinion is a poor fix.
You can always try other sounds also. Many are much shorter and that
might allow the sound to complete before stuttering.
Thank you, Terry! You and Malke agree about Quickset and Adobe, and I'll
remove them both.
You're welcome Jo-Anne. Report back if any of this clears up your sound
issue.

Will do, Terry! Before I start, though, I found one other program that
appears to be iffy in Startup (I've been checking each item as best I can
online). It's jusched, which I gather is a Java update scheduler that runs
once a month. Bleeping Computer called it "undesirable," although I don't
know if I should leave it or disable it. What do you think?
Thank you!
