Many users have complained of a drastic lag in boot speed. Obviously, this is related to the programs, services and applications that are launched during the boot process. The more applications start at startup, the more the start will be traced. Some of these pre-launch apps add a few minutes to startup time, but others may add a couple of minutes to the startup time. One of these applications is the Intel Delayed launcher. This article will briefly explain what it is, if you should disable it and how you can disable it if you want.
What is it “iastoriconlaunch.exe” O “Intel Delayed Launcher”?
“Iastoriconlaunch.exe” O “Delay Launcher” from Intel is a startup application that is part of Intel's Rapid Recovery Technology. Intel Rapid Recovery Technology is, at the same time, a feature of Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Intel Rapid Storage Technology promises faster disk speeds and faster application startup, either a single SATA controller or multiple RAID storages. For those with multiple RAID storage, Intel Rapid Storage Technology improves data security by duplicating data on each drive, which prevents data loss in the event of drive failure. IAStorIconLaunch son las siglas de Intel® Array Storage Technology Icon Delayed Launch.
How the delayed launcher works
By using local execution registry settings to run automatically when a user logs on to Windows, “IAStorIconLaunch.exe” actually delays the startup of the Windows operating system between 30 Y 60 seconds, before viruses or malware can gain access. to system files, allowing the use of Intel® Rapid Recovery Technology (RRT), a feature of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology to restore the hard drive from the “recovery partition”, if the original equipment manufacturer established a, maintained using “RAID 1 “Reflecting and generally invisible to the user. The first process that starts after this delay is “IAStorIcon.exe”, causing the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology icon to appear, but the real purpose of “IAStorIconLaunch.exe” is slow down windows. This Windows service can be disabled through “msconfig”, but that means there will be no delay to allow recovery.
It is a system recovery measure that, to simplify a bit, allows you to enter your computer's operating system before a virus / malware can access any file on the system. In summary, if your system is attacked by a virus that loads during startup, you will be very grateful to have it activated. On the other hand, has a big impact on startup time, so if you never finish using it, will have lost between 30 Y 60 seconds of your life every time you start. However, is very useful for those running a small server or a small data warehouse with multiple drives.
It's a tough decision to make, but if you find that your computer is not very prone to virus exposure or hard drive failure, you may not want the boot time to be delayed and, in that case, keep it on. Then, Here's how you can disable the Intel Delayed Launcher.
Method 1: use MSConfig (Windows 7) to remove Intel Delayed Launcher from startup programs
If you think you may need Intel Rapid Storage Technology later, you can just disable it from the beginning and re-enable it later using the same method. For windows
-
Press Windows + R to open Run
-
Type msconfig and hit enter to open the system configuration window
-
Scroll down and find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and uncheck the box. Click Apply and then OK. Don't disable your main security antivirus product.
-
Restart your PC. Startup should be faster now
Method 2: Remove Intel Delayed Launcher from Task Manager startup programs (Windows 8/10)
If you use the method 1 in Windows 10, you will be redirected to the task manager. Use this method instead.
-
Presione Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the task manager
-
Click on “More details” to expand the Task Manager window.
-
Go to the home tab
-
I searched “Lagged Launcher” and click on it once to select it (you will see that your startup impact is high, will cause a longer startup time)
-
Click on “deactivate” in the right corner of the window.
-
Restart your PC. Startup should be faster now
If you want to completely uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology, make sure to first change the drive from RAID RST to SATA from BIOS and then uninstall RST drivers from “Disk controllers” or from the Programs and Features window. Remember that this is not the only thing that could be causing the boot time to increase.
