I'm using Windows 7, and it always starts with Wi-Fi enabled, then it becomes very slow. I can see a blue circle turning on the Wi-Fi icon in the task bar.
Is there a way to disable Wi-Fi during Windows 7 start up?

You could go into the "Network and Sharing Center" and use the "Change adapter settings" option to disable the wireless adapter (right-click on the adapter and you should see "Disable" as the first option).
If you don't want to disable the wireless adapter you can set the wireless service to start automatically, but with a delay.
I don't have a laptop on hand, but if you type services in the start search and open the services control panel, you should find a service called "WLAN AutoConfig". Right-click on the service and choose Properties from the context menu. On the General step you can set the startup type to one of the following:
- Automatic (Delayed Start)
- Automatic
- Manual
- Disabled
If you choose the "Automatic (Delayed Start)" option, the service should start after all of the other Automatic services.
