Blogger Chris123NT is reporting that the LUAFV driver, which controls UAC in Vista, can cause latency issues if the controversial feature is disabled. Apparently, once UAC is disabled, a registry tweak that disables the driver in question also needs to be applied if the user wants to have solid boot times back (improved boot times obviously vary from machine to machine). The problem occurs in both Vista RTM and the current beta build of Vista SP1 (6001.17042). This seems to me like yet another reason why it’s not a good idea to disable UAC, but I'm sure UAC haters will have a very different perspective. It will be interesting to see how fast Microsoft will patch this problem, considering how important security is nowadays.

How do I go about disabling this driver that hinders the boot up time?

Use this at your own risk, HDrive holds no responsibility if this tweak should cause your computer to spontaneously combust or eat your children.

1. Open the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServices luafv"

3. Double click the "start" string value, and set it to 4.

4. Reboot and see the improvement.

So there you have it. Test it and see how it works for you, of course your results may vary but it should render an improvement for the majority. Any questions or comments are always welcome.

Big thanks to Chris (chris123nt.com) and Ryan (bluescreenofdeath.org) for doing this testing and finding this out!

Good post Snuff. I am not suffering the problem so I avoid potentially suffering the fix too. But, in the future, ???
