[...] Its not a issue for everyone with superfast computers, some do have this problem while others dont…Its also just something most people dont care about since they never check there Performance logs (Event_ViewerApplications & Services LogsMicrosoftWindowsDiagnostics-PerformanceOperational) You can see the time takes to boot drivers and services from there, I dont disable UAC so I dont know if this problem still exists, I think it was partially fixed for 85% of users not using UAC when ServicePack1 was released this year… Find out for yourself, just look at the Performance Log boot times with UAC enabled over a few days then do the same with it turned off and compare the average boot time…You will find it boots faster with UAC enabled.

I’ve found on Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC with a Phenom 9600 and MSI K9A2 Platinum that if I use 4 memory modules, and try to boot with UAC enabled, Vista hangs on startup and the system restarts itself. It doesn’t even get to the login page, and is reproducible with safe mode. Then using System Restore in recovery mode I go back to a previous state where UAC is off, and the system boots. I guess UAC is just pure evil. :>

I had disabled UAC and noticed that after a while my compuer was hanging for about 2-3 mins during boot up. After reading your article, I re-enabled UAC. For about 1 to 2 weeks, I continued to experience the hang during reboot. Then I suddenly noticed that the computer is no longer hanging. It’s back to rebooting normally – about as quick as when I first installed Vista.

I am runnning Vista Home Premium on a Quad core Q6600 with 4 GB of memory and NVidia 8500 with 256 MB. This system rocks with Vista. Overall, I am quite happy with Vista (as long as the hardware can handle it).

UAC is there for a reason, I don’t disable it, I hardly see it, only when installing a game, or chaning my network location, no biggie.
