I am getting VERY frustrated with my computer. It should NOT take something like five minutes from the time I press the "on" button to the point where I can start doing things. I've done the usual troubleshooting and anti-malware stuff; they show no problems. Task Manager shows a bunch of resource-hungry processes happening, but as far as I can determine (from online searching), they are all important. Once I get through all that interminable waiting, I have no problems.
(By the way, WTF is "Intel Rapid Storage Technology", and why does it seem to take so fershlugginer long to load?)
Is there an application that will show what my computer is doing - what processes are being run, what stuff is being loaded, etc. - as it boots up and gets ready for me to use?
