Windows 10: System partial freeze after each boot

After each boot my laptop will work as normal for 10-20 seconds, after that some (I think web based only) applications freeze, for me it's been Firefox and Discord. Sometimes the start menu is unresponsive at this time and the media ui will not appear when adjusting the volume. The event log says that it's System Settings that had an application hang.


After 20-30 seconds the system returns to normal. Any clues?
