Any idea how to fix or normal? It take like 30 sec or more to load and while this is happening it cripples some task. Things become laggy example when i type huge delay.
 
BTW im on 5.3.0
 
Im on SSD and minimum start up everything loads instantly except Precision

Un Check the Startup at Windows and reboot your pc twice and see if it make any change.
If it dose not then you may have a different issue.

I want it to load at stat up i don't have any other issues i disable it and boot is fine.
 
I also tried prev version 5.2.9 same thing ill go back couple more if not ill deal with it i guess but giving heads up that this happens. It doesn't happen with MSI AB but i personally don't like that software.

What are your Settings, Post a Photo?
 
Do you have any other monitoring software that also start up at boot?

Nothing to post for settings fresh install of the EVGA Precision X all i did was tick load at start up.
 
Also fresh install of windows 8.1 from last week with literally 2 3rd party programs that includes Precision loading a start up.
And no other monitoring software loading at start up i was just saying I installed and tested MSI AF to see if it happened with that also and it didn't.
 
This software increased boot time by about 30 sec and during this process some things lag including typing. Thinking maybe its looking online for update i set never to check doesn't help

Its a problem with this software i went all way back to Version 5.2.7 and still happening but not as long.

Bump....
 
Same issue here its gotten worse.  Ive basically reinstalled Windows 8.1, drivers, updates, and precision X 16 5.3.1.  Right after I log in my keyboard input is extremely slow for ~15 seconds there is a huge typing lag (as soon as I log in I open notepad, npad++, or firefox and can clearly see typing lag as I mash keys).  All the keys I pressed will eventually catch up all at once after ~15 secounds.  This only happens with PrecisionX enabled (either just startup settings or starting the whole app with windows).

No other monitoring software or any software except for Windows 8.1, Drivers, and all OS updates.
 
Now this issue appears in older versions but lasts only 2 seconds or so (like 5.2.5 and 5.2.7).  Uninstalling PrecisionX 16 will remove this issue.  I have also tried 2 other keyboards and uninstalled the corsair/logitech software with no change with the above behavior. Of the few previous versions I can find it seemed like 5.2.7 was the best.  I also tried that other popular GPU overclocking software which works with no issues as well but I'd rather not use that software unless I have to.

Looks like you're stuck with the slowness then.

(sorry for bumping old thread)

I am experiencing the same issues as mentioned by the topic starter. Using EVGA Precision Version 5.3.1
Windows 8.1 comes on then on desktop everything goes slow, including typing. Disabled it and no more "lag". When I startup (manually) Precision it's the same thing.

Until this is resolved I will be going to try Afterburner.

I use profiles but do not have it set to run when Windows Starts up.
All by itself it start Really Slow but works fine.
