Resolving Slow Boot Issues on Windows Client and Server Systems
Performance Issues
Diagnosed and mitigated slow startup issues on a Windows client using Task Manager, and optimized server-side boot performance via Group Policy configuration.
Performance Issue Labs
System slowdowns and performance bottlenecks can quietly cripple productivity. These labs tackle the most common root causes of sluggish behavior in both Windows clients and servers, covering everything from slow boot times to stalled Windows updates and driver-related failures. I built these simulations to deepen my understanding of performance tuning through hands-on fixes: diagnosing startup delays, deploying logon scripts with Group Policy, enforcing update policies across an Active Directory domain, and manually resolving driver issues. These labs have sharpened my ability to diagnose, isolate, and resolve real-world performance problems with precision—making me better equipped to keep systems running fast and reliably in any environment.

Deploying a Logon Script via Group Policy in an Active Directory Environment
Performance Issues
Simulated a custom user logon experience by deploying a startup batch script through Group Policy linked to a specific Organizational Unit.
Managing Windows Updates on Client and Server Systems
Performance Issues
Resolved paused updates on a Windows client and enforced automated update policies on domain-joined systems using Group Policy from a Windows Server domain controller.
Manually Reinstalling a Network Adapter Driver on a Windows Client
Performance Issues
Simulated a network adapter failure and performed a manual driver reinstall by downloading, extracting, and applying a .cab driver package through a mapped shared folder.
