I have on my two year old home laptop. I defragged the hard drive last night and I will see if this makes any improvement to its performance. My work laptop, which is brand new, appears to be working fine.

I have several patched XP systems and haven't seen a noticeable slowdown on any of them since patching. Have you installed anything else, or changed any settings that might have affected performance? [edited by: bill at 12:38 am (utc) on Feb. 16, 2008]

No changes, XP Pro SP2. Also, try to kill applications running in the background, one by one. Unplug network before nuking firewall ;)

It seems to be affecting network access and now observed similar on a vista machine. Curious!

My home laptop seems to be fine now. Maybe the defrag helped.

I have this problem on a several machines. It first showed up in November or December after an update. I started a thread here about it, I will look for it and link to it. It also happened recently to a nearly new computer. It take 10 to 15 minutes to fully boot. I spent 2 or 3 hours talking to M$ about it, to no avail.

Here is the thread. http://www.webmasterworld.com/microsoft_windows_os/3499994.htm The concensus was that it was my anti-virus. But I uninstalled the anti-virus and it made no difference. I did an online registry scan and it is reporting hundreds of errors. So ... what is the best registry fixing program? Please advise. Like you, it all started with a Windows Update. Then a comes the super slow booting.

Our issue sorted itself out with a server reboot. So I suspect something in the patches affected the way client machines sync'ed up.

A vista update slowed my machine massively a few weeks ago, and ZoneAlarm needed an update to fix it.

Here's a concurrent thread that may apply to some problems... Vista SP1: Programs That Exhibit Reduced or Loss of Functionality
