Wireless mouse and keyboard (Microsoft wireless desktop receiver 3.1). Win7.
Is the start-up time problem occurring at any time during usage or only after booting the system? During the startup of windows any program is slow. (affected by all sorts of code starting, virus scanner,etc.)
When I stressed the virtual memory of my PC and started M10 then for one time only I saw "Formatting Notebooks."
The result below is after using the system for more than an hour switching between M8 and M10.
