Run a Norton Diagnostic Report
Diagnostic Report gathers information about your computer, including the operating system,
programs, and hardware. You can use this report to find and fix the issues. The Diagnostic
Report is a real-time report with a timestamp. Norton does not generate this report automatically.
If Norton finds any issues on your computer, you can use the Fix Now option to resolve the
issues. You can save, email, or print the report when needed for review.

Set Norton to maximize your PC startup time
When you start your computer, some programs, called startup items, automatically run and
increase the time it takes your computer to start. Norton Startup Manager helps you manage
startup items. If you do not want a program to automatically start when you turn on your
computer, you can disable the program using Startup Manager.
To reduce the start time of your computer and improve the performance, you can delay the
start of some of the programs when you turn on your computer. Norton delays the start of the
delayed programs by five minutes. Every subsequent delayed program starts with a further
delay of ten seconds.
