Do you guys disable this? On startup it loads a shit load of files from games that I play .. eg Crysis, UT3 etc. My hard drive thrashes for 5-10 mins after startup. And Everytime I get done playing a game it does the same thing. |

Vista trashes the HD for about half an hour after I boot, it's the damn indexing thing, even though it's not setup to index anything, it still effin does it unless I disable the service. |

Not the indexer on mine that was the first thing I disabled. I see in resource monitor it's svchost.exe that is accessing game files even hours after having played the game.

It was on a fresh install from an a legit Vista DVD. Only thing installed was my steam games (that was always on my XP install and Crysis so I highly doubt it was any kind of spyware or virus ... etc .. I looked into it and scanned but found nothing. |

svchost is the alias for many different running services. one of which is windows defender. maybe this won't help what you're talking about, but i noticed a definite improvement in system performance and boot time by disabling windows defender in both services.msc and msconfig. |

Does anyone know if Windows 7 makes changes to this constant hard drive useage on bootup that I have also noticed on my laptop? It would be nice to know it was one of the things being stream-lined with the new version. Also, I have 5 instances of svchost running on my work system right now.

Even tho my hard drive goes a lot I still find Vista faster in everyday usage than XP. I swore off I'd never use Vista and that i didn't like it but the more I use it the more I like it .. err well aside from the drop in gaming performance. 10 svchosts here.. |

After using Vista for 2 weeks I went back to XP for a couple days and all I got to say is OMG. The difference in speed of programs opening is unreal. Vista is wayyy faster for almost everything but USB transfers and a few games. If there wasn't so many issues with some of my shit not working in Vista I'd still be running it. I have a dual boot system so I'm going to leave it there and see if drivers get updated for my issues. |
