I got a feeling that Window$ installed from nLited or vLited DVD/CD was slower than un-Lited ones.

Am I the only one having this feeling?

stop using $ mid sentence, it looks daft

i had that too but old royal theme
but now with noir its good

Window$ installed from slip-streamed CD/DVD really has a longer start-up time.
It's slower than installing Window$ from the original CD/DVD and then applies hotfixes.

Is it actually an expected behavior?

Or is vLite/nLite inserted something? No... I don't think so, right?

did u removed the drivers ? from it ? and put newer ?

post ur ini pls

Please don't remove the service whose name is "Event log"

For my currently installed vLited Vi$ta, no driver was removed. I only slip-streamed SP1
and add Nvidia nForce 570Ultra's drivers (version 15.12 if I remember correctly).

OK. Will remember this on my next re-installation of Vi$ta. Heard that
SP2 is coming....

I just re-installed my Vi$ta Ultimate x64 again. This time, I removed most drivers and some
components (sample video & pictures, Defender, .... etc). The start-up speed is kind of back to
normal.....
