HP Recommended
Product: dv7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This message is a hint how to solve a slow boot with systems that have multiple (2) build-in display processors.

The ultimate solution is to disable energy saving from the non standard display processor. in the case of the dv7 you should disable the energy savings option 6700M processor in the  registry.

Go to the Start Menu and type "regedit". Open regedit and click the Edit button at the top of the screen, then click on Find. Type "EnableULPS" and click "Find Next". EnableULPS will be highlighted in the list of registry options.

Double click it, and change the value from 1 to 0.  close the editor and restart your laptop. This will disable a power saving feature that switches off your dedicated graphics card when it's not needed and this will mean your laptop consumes more battery power, so only do this if your laptop spends most of its time plugged in.

This sometimes works also in older Window versions. And other systems that have two display processors.
