Windows 10 messed up my program

[Guest]

I've been using Start10 by StarDock to fully customize my Windows start logo and taskbar (Classic shell won't let you do that)

Anyway. After the Anniversary update it stopped working but I manage to figure out that Start10 just a program that startup with Windows 10. The problem is I manage to put it to the Startup folder but it still has a small delay like few seconds (I have an Ultra II SanDisk SSD) before it can display the whole taskbar and logo. Meanwhile I have to look at the black taskbar. 

 

Anyway to make a program start immediately? A regular exe file

Possibly.

Windows 10 (well since Windows 8) by default adds a fake delay when you login. The idea is to give you the ability to use the system immediately, and not being stuck for background programs to finish loading. This was done for slow systems (basically all of them that are low cost tablets or have a 5400RPM HDD).

 

To remove the fake delay go to the registry, and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Serialize (I think you need to create the 'Serialize' key, I forgot.. do that if it is missing. So just right-click on "Explorer" item on the left columns, and pick "New">"Key", and type: Serialize, and click on OK)

Then create a DWORD (right-click on the empty space in the right pane, and pick: New > DWORD), name it: Startupdelayinmsec, click on OK, and double click on the new entry to set it's value, and set it to 0. Click on OK, and restart your system.

I will try something else. Still slow. Maybe Task Scheduler

Task Scheduler still slow

Modifying regedit still same

I wonder if there are any solutions

Did you try re-installing the app?

I don't think there could be issue with the app because it runs fine. Running exe or shortcut will open it instantly so I guess it's the Windows part

No I am thinking it needs to register things for faster startup or change other stuff in Windows to make it happen.

Thanks for the help. Yeah. The program does some magic after reinstallation and it starts instantly
