Briefly explain your current issue(s)
As above
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
Many startup applications have been disabled.
Only "Google Drive", "Bluetooth LE Services Control Program" and "Intel PROSet/Wireless Bluetooth" run on boot. Kaspersky 2015 is on the new PC as well, but is set to "Concede resources to OS".

I measured my boot time with the Event Viewer in Windows (which says about 220 000 ms/3.5-4 minutes).

The first boot I did on this laptop actually measured ~152 000 - 190 000 ms which is 2.5 - 3 mins...

DOn't know. I measured my PC with bootracer & it's a legit program. It shows bootime/logging time & start up time. I don't think my PC is responsive after 2:45 minutes. Cheers. Try bootracer & tell me ur result. Also after soluto installation, bootracer reports my PC boot time increased 9 seconds more!

I got 42 seconds for OS boot, then 121 seconds to go to the desktop (total ~164)

I just bought a new machine w/Windows 8.1, but it booted very slow, but a popup appeared asking if I wanted to change to a quick-boot. After I clicked yep, it boots in 12 seconds. Don't know where that popup came from or how to find it. Never saw that in Windows 7, though.

Ur boot time is very slow. There is something fishy going down there.IS ur sfae mode take long time to start up?

It means u enabled fast start up or say hybrid boot. Sometimes it cause problems. My new machine with window 8.1 booted in some seconds & that was 4 months ago before i started to fill a lot of programs in my HDD.

Looks like I managed to improve it:
upload_2015-5-26_19-26-10.png

I performed a boot-time defrag with PerfectDisk 13.

I then proceeded to uninstall all of the Canon bloatware (my theory is probably that Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector EX was searching for the printer in the wifi connection before wifi was even turned on), except from the drivers itself.

I also uninstalled (Samsung) Easy Settings which loaded a bunch of things I really didn't need ("MovieColorEnhancer", "Easy Speedup Manager" "SoundAlive" etc).

Now, I'll probably perform SMARTPlacement defrag on PerfectDisk overnight.

EDIT: turns out that Easy Settings was necessary for keyboard shortcuts. Is there any other software that provides keyboard shortcuts for things like brightness/wifi/changing the display that the PC outputs to?

There is no real need for these crapware, coming preinstalled with a laptop or PC. They say they offer better usability but they often offer just clutter and mess in the system. For shortcuts customization you can read this article
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/keyboard-shortcuts#keyboard-shortcuts=windows-7

HDD is fast enough to provide a boot time less than 40 seconds (Windows 7), especially when your laptop or PC is new. Your slow boot times may be explained by having all those crapware installed and running with the Windows when it boots. Could you take a screenshot of all programs installed on your system and all programs running at the boot time (please take the full screenshots, not partial)

Two solutions :

Easier, with less stress
Reinstall Operating System without clutter left.
  • If you have a product key for your Windows 7, and have Installation Disk then great. Reinstall it. Warning : Some Backup-Reinstallation Disks are already set to install all this crap coming with the system, also reinstalling the system with recovery partition.
  • If you don't have a key and you have Windows 7 preinstalled you can extract the key using various methods (Google it) or use NirSoft ProduKey (ESET may warn you about potentially unsafe app)
  • If you don't have an installation disk you can enter your key here and it will give you a link to download your version of Windows 7, some OEM keys may not work but Retail will. If this doesn't work either, German Digital River Mirror site has backuped downloads for Windows 7 Original ISO's where you can find your version. All of these are torrent downloads. (I am recommending you this solution as it will give you a complete and clean system where you can install whatever you want, and not a messy system that came to you (probably preinstalled)
Hard Way
Remove all that you don't need manually

Only God knows if all this is necessary as probably half of them are for important parts of Office 365 and others, and the other part left from the software that you actually don't need (IMHO Cyberlink Power DVD, or stupid version of Adobe Acrobat) and some from the software needed in the past that was removed from the system.
In my opinion you don't have to have JAVA installed, BatteryBar, BootRacer , Speed Fan, and... It's hard to tell you everything what you really need and what you don't, I don't know what you do with your System. ICC Express? Google Earth Pro? Dunno.

Just carefully backup your system, and remove (uninstall) everything you don't need from it. Disable everything you don't need to run with the Windows, clean the registry from CCleaner, Defrag with Auslogics, restart.
My suggestion, use one tool (program) for one thing.

Two solutions :

Easier, with less stress
Reinstall Operating System without clutter left.
  • If you have a product key for your Windows 7, and have Installation Disk then great. Reinstall it. Warning : Some Backup-Reinstallation Disks are already set to install all this crap coming with the system, also reinstalling the system with recovery partition.
  • If you don't have a key and you have Windows 7 preinstalled you can extract the key using various methods (Google it) or use NirSoft ProduKey (ESET may warn you about potentially unsafe app)
  • If you don't have an installation disk you can enter your key here and it will give you a link to download your version of Windows 7, some OEM keys may not work but Retail will. If this doesn't work either, German Digital River Mirror site has backuped downloads for Windows 7 Original ISO's where you can find your version. All of these are torrent downloads. (I am recommending you this solution as it will give you a complete and clean system where you can install whatever you want, and not a messy system that came to you (probably preinstalled)
Hard Way
Remove all that you don't need manually

Can't deny it but I'll have to agree.

Most of the Microsoft software was installed with Visual Studio 2013.

Right now I'm looking at http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/how-to-reduce-latencies-on-samsung-laptops.688064/

and after uninstalling the wifi/bluetooth software (not drivers) and having only the .exe in Easy Settings responsible for Fn keys in startup, I'll uninstall some more unused programs and go for a full defrag.

When I did get the laptop, I wiped the Windows 8.1 hard drive and installed Windows 7, then went on the manufacturer site to see what "software" was necessary.

Edit: Isn't Java necessary for some online sites/programs?

It actually is, just be very careful with those sites needed Java because of it's security holes and exploits

Managed to clear out programs and defrag. With ELAN Smartpad, Google Drive, ESET SS8 and Easy Display Manager on boot the time stays around roughly 70 secs (which is an improvement I guess).

For future reference, is there a way of reinstalling Windows 7, without losing personal data/files?

Copy all important data you need from system (Usually C) partition to non-system partition (D,E,F partition) or store it on external HDD or USB, then reinstall the system.
