I install 1 app and it adds 25 seconds to boot up time?

I just setup my SSD and Win7 Pro 64 and I'm personalizing it to how my old Vista setup was and after I installed one of my apps, it added 25 seconds to my boot up time. I uninstalled the app, and nothing changed.
 
Was it an app with high end copy/license protection, that may have installed like a HASP driver for a dongle or something?

Might help to know the app.
 
WOW!!! wierd, it's not the app, in the boot when I installed the app, I changed the windows theme to have the desktop background color different than the default windows theme, and that's what made the difference. I just changed the theme back to default and it loaded in a second.

Yea, I've read elsewhere that having a solid color as your Windows desktop slows boot time. I think any picture will keep the speeds fast. I wonder id you could use something like a solid black .jpg and keep the speed. It would be interesting to try. I'm sure that would work.

That's really weird, I wonder if it's a bug.

I read that using this works.

lol, MS sure comes up with weird bugs. There's not even any logical explanation why that would happen.

Anyone that has never had a strange ass bug is a liar 🙂

But what if:
Pointer to a file for the background is easy to load.
Reference to a value in the registry for the background color might be longer to load.

"Shouldn't they both be in the registry?"
Well what if, an optimization was made to make it easy to get the pointer to the background image, that didn't also do it for the solid background color.

I mean, it's a bug, and it's a stupid bug. Saying it is illogical is saying that your computer is broken 😉
