Script takes ages on startup

[Natulux]

Hey everyone,

I have written a script which I want to start together with the booting operating system (Win7x64). Like proposed by wiki-FAQ (https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ) I tried the following:
 

MsgBox(0,"TellMe",RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ATOSS-FavoritenManager", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)?"SUCCESS":"Error: " & @error)

It worked, just like putting a link into the windows autostart directory.

Thing is, every other program in there needs some seconds to start after booting. However, my script takes 3-5 minutes for no obvious reason, with the process visible in the task-manager. I tried a a smaller Autoit.exe script and it was way faster than mine.
My script is 1.1MB in size and needs 17.6MB of RAM when running. (maybe that's the problem?)

I set up a MsgBox at the start of my script to have something simple as first visible effect, so in my opinion it's nothing in my code causing the problem (like a loop).
My includes are:

#include-once
#include "Toast.au3"
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <ListBoxConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <ColorConstantS.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <GuiToolbar.au3>
#include <GuiListBox.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <Crypt.au3>
#include "_GuiListViewEx.au3"
#include "GUIHyperLink.au3"
#include "ATOSS-FavMan_start.au3" ;(my own)

That's quite some but I need those.

Any ideas? (Here is some code, that my script starts with. Altogether it's about 3500 lines of code.)

Is there anything in "ATOSS-FavMan_start.au3" that might be causing it?

[Natulux]

Hey KingBob, thanks for your reply.

That's basically good thinking. "ATOSS-FavMan_start.au3" provides the starting routine for another program, which is needed for my script.
But I checked with a ConsoleWrite command at the very beginning of every file which of them comes first. At least in Debug mode the first file is the one I posted the code of and it's the one I start with a MsgBox to check on my .exe when it starts.

You see, the problem is that I can't even tell the user, that the program is beeing loaded. Noone waits several minutes for a tool to load without getting feedback about it's action of doing so. I thought of writing a smaller scipt which informs the user and handles the starting of the real script...

I might add, that this problem only occurs right after booting the system. At any other given time it starts within a sec.
So I was guessing, maybe I include something, that windows is loading at the end of the booting process?

Have a nice weekend

Your main script will start first, but then it loads all the include files in the order that you included them. So if there is anything inside an include that delays the start up of the whole script you have to check for that. Depending on where you place your consolewrites/msgboxes, that will tell you where it's being delayed.

In SciTE, Click on Tools> Trace: Add Trace Lines. Run the script in SciTE with the trace lines and watch the console log and see where it is lagging at. When you are done debugging, click on Tools> Trace: Remove ALL Trace Lines.

Hey you two,

KingBob: In that case you might be right. I think I could comment it out to see, if it still has a major delay (in which case I'm forced to accept it).
I'll try that in time.

BetaLeaf: As said above: "I might add, that this problem only occurs right after booting the system. At any other given time it starts within a sec."
So I fear I am unable to debug my script in the console. For that case I started the logging file, in which I couldn't track the problem yet.

Thank you and have a nice day

EDIT: I tried to comment out the "ATOSS-FavMan_start.au3" but that didn't cause the problem. It still needs about 3 minutes to start, after every other program has been loaded, no more processes in the task manager changed for these 3 minutes with a cpu usage of 10% and RAM of about 20%. I can't really figure out, why the pc is waiting, because the resources seem available...

EDIT2: I just had another idea. Maybe the computer isn't waiting to fulfill the process, maybe it just needs that long to start it (because it has to load to much data in the RAM or something like that)? However, that wouldn't explain, why the pc is repeatedly able to start my software right away after maybe 5 minutes.

I am just making an opinion that i wouldnt recommend too much .exe files during startup but i would recommend to run  a batch script during startup as it does not take up much time to load you have many command line options available if you want to run a .exe file scripted in autoit then you should add your program to the local policy editor as the scripts in the policy editor will start first with windows explorer

[Surya]

If you need any more help please feel free to ask

[Natulux]

Hey Surya, thanks for your reply!

I have to admit that I'm not familiar with the 'local policy editor'. I gave it a look and found it quite huge. Can I even 'add' a '.bat' somewhere here without disturbing the other scripts? If these are going to be sensitive changes, my admin is not going to let me use that for starting a script of mine. ;-)

Cheers,
Natulux
 

[Surya]

Natulux then you should remove large programs that cause load during startup

you can get the list of startup program in task manager and disable them or entering wmic startup into the command prompt

that would increase your system boot up speed

[Natulux]

Hello again.

I just added a 'start.bat' for my script in the local policy editor and rebooted. Indeed, my script now starts right in time as I would like it. I would like to use your suggestion, but eventually I am going to have to give my tool to others and therefor need to automatically make this entry. Is it possible via batch or similar to edit the policy editor?

Thanks!
Natulux

EDIT: I might try using autoit again to accomplish this I guess. ;-)

[Surya]

No problem you can write your start.bat to the local policy editor from autoit

i will give you the code

[Surya]

local policy editor varies from computer to computer in this you would have to help me which os are you running 

[Natulux]

Thank you for helping me Surya,

I am running a Windows 7 64-Bit OS here.
Now I'm quite excited about how you do that. :-)

Sincerely
Natulux

[Surya]

Natulux i am working on it

[Surya]

nautlux please open cmd and type this

type C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\scripts.ini

 

and then show me the results

[Natulux]

That's a small one:

scripts.ini:

[Startup]
0CmdLine=FavMan.bat
0Parameters=

Regards
Natulux

[Surya]

nautulux is that the name of that batch file yiu want to execute first

[Natulux]

Hey Surya,

that is indeed the batch I wrote, which at the moment does nothing else but start my exe script. I don't need that batch personaly, if the exe can be loaded in time.

@echo off

start "" "E:\FavMan_AktuellesRelease\ATOSS-FavoritenManager.exe"

exit

Greetings
Natulux

[Surya]

okay natulux try this function i have written i have included the exe file not the .bat file:

expandcollapse popup

#RequireAdmin
#include <Array.au3>
#include <String.au3>

Local Const $GOP_SHUTDOWN = False
Local Const $GOP_STARTUP = True
;the first parameter defines to start the script when in startup or shutdown
;second parameter is the file and third is its parameters
;------------

_RegisterGOP($GOP_SHUTDOWN,"E:\FavMan_AktuellesRelease\ATOSS-FavoritenManager.exe")


Func _RegisterGOP($varx,$file,$param = "") 
$fini = "C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\scripts.ini"
If FileExists($fini) Then
If $varx = $GOP_STARTUP Then
$ini = IniReadSection($fini,"Startup")
If @error Then
   Local $ini[1][1]
   $ini[0][0] = -1
EndIf
ElseIf $varx = $GOP_SHUTDOWN Then
$ini = IniReadSection($fini,"Shutdown")
If @error Then
   Local $ini[1][1]
   $ini[0][0] = -1
EndIf
EndIf
$last = UBound($ini)-1
$num = _StringBetween ($ini[$last][0],"","P")
If @error Then Local $num[1] = [-1]
$num = $num[0] + 1
MsgBox ("","",$num)
If $varx = $GOP_STARTUP Then
IniWrite($fini,"Startup",$num &"CmdLine",$file)
IniWrite($fini,"Startup",$num &"Parameters",$param)
ElseIf $varx = $GOP_SHUTDOWN Then
IniWrite($fini,"Shutdown",$num &"CmdLine",$file)
IniWrite($fini,"Shutdown",$num &"Parameters",$param)
EndIf
Else
If $varx = $GOP_STARTUP Then
IniWrite($fini,"Startup","0CmdLine",$file)
IniWrite($fini,"Startup","0Parameters",$param)
ElseIf $varx = $GOP_SHUTDOWN Then
IniWrite($fini,"Shutdown","0CmdLine",$file)
IniWrite($fini,"Shutdown","0Parameters",$param)
EndIf
EndIf
Return "Sucess"
endfunc

I am sorry to keep you waiting but the code works great if you have any doubts or want any more help feel free to ask glad i could help
