Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro Login Delay

Hi,

My system boots up fine until I get to the pretty login picture. I can either touch the mouse or hit any key and the little box for my login password always appeared until yesterday. Now I have to wait about 45 to 50 seconds before the system reacts correctly to my request to enter my password.

When I look at the event viewer, I see a number of services being delayed by 45 seconds from starting which was never the issue a few days ago. I have had no Microsoft updates, application updates and no hardware updates over the last week, but this thing started yesterday about 2PM.

This is what happen exactly: I was in one of my VMware Workstation Pro guest machines getting a Microsoft update in that Windows 10 O/S when I noticed I was running late for a GoToMeeting, so I finished the update successfully, shut down the VM O/S successfully and started an older GoToMeeting application to get me into the meeting. When I hit that GoToMeeting "join" button, my whole system now at my host Windows 10 Pro operation...no VM running locked up very hard. The mouse cursor moved around, but could not select or activate anything! After a few moments, the system came around enough for me to shut everything down and reboot to get to my meeting. That is when I noticed that everything seemed normal until I went ot login by hitting the <enter> key to start the login process. Nothing happened. the date and time dropped off like it should, but the little password box did not come up, hence there was nothing to log into. I could not even reboot as nothing worked until after 45 seconds, the login box finally showed and I could log into my machine. Everything work perfectly fine after that.

Finally, I uninstalled the GoToMeeting application and did a clean reboot, but the 45 second delay still exists at the login page. If I boot into a Safe Mode., everything works fine and I login with extreme speed. I also use MSCONFIG.EXE and disables all of my non-Windows services and still have the 45 second delay to login, so it is not related to any of my applications. Besides, with no changes and everything workign from before, why would any of my applications make any difference on this login problem.

Has anybody had this kind of delayed login problem? remember, once logged in, everything works perfectly. BTW, this delay login only takes place from a cold startup or restart. You can log out and log into any other user on your machine and the login process is fast. This has something with a driver that loads one-time at either a cold-start or a warm reboot or restart.

Thanks for reading through this as I want to give people the most detail I could.

5 min delay on cold start between login screen and bg screen

Ok, let the powershell command run overnight
If the command didn't solve the problem, the try these steps in order:

1. Disable superfetch service
   • Empty the following folder c:\Windows\Prefetch\
   • Restart the computer
   • Si ça ne marche pas, passer à l'étape 2;
2. Disable the AppXSvc from the registry: change the "Start" key value from 3 to 4 (see the screenshot)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
