Windows 8 High Start up times

[pritpalspall]

PC Monitor User Agent seems to have a high start up time in windows 8

 

will this be resolved or is there a way to lower start up impact?

How do you know that the user agent has a high startup time?

On start the user agent subscribes to some notifications and does not perform any other operations - there's nothing we need to resolve here.

Thank you, we were aware of that label in Task Manager, I thought that you have experienced slow start times on your Windows 8...

 

The User Agent app uses 300 ms CPU and 11.5 MB Disk I/O on startup.

After commenting all the code in the app start call the app it is still using 200 ms CPU and 7.8 MB Disk I/O and it's still being reported as High usage. It's a .NET app, maybe that's the reason.

 

Looks like there's no way to reduce this further but you can use the PC Monitor Manager settings to disable it if you wish.
